G-Diffuser, the native PC port of F-Zero X, now runs on macOS. I contributed the Mac port and it was merged upstream a couple weeks ago.

This is compiled native ARM64, rendering through Metal. Runs on M1 and newer. No translation layer, no Rosetta.

The port required rewriting platform-specific code (memory management, threading, framebuffer sync) to work with Apple’s APIs. The original GPU sync approach caused flickering on Apple Silicon, so I replaced it with proper Metal event signaling for async frame presentation.

Video is a screen recording from my M1 MacBook Pro so what you see is what you get. The source is public on GitHub if anyone wants to run it on Mac!

tldr: use the computer version to enter the cheat and transfer the save to the 3DS, then delete the default save and rename the new save with the cheat to whatever the default save was called. ​

Due to the lack of L button mapping in the 3DS version of G Diffuser, and my own skill issues, I was having trouble entering the cheat code to unlock all tracks and machines. So I took​ to the web to find a 100% save but they were all in the wrong format (g diffuser uses .sav) and nobody wrote down any solutions I could find so ill share what i did.

Since you need the PC version of G Diffuser to get the files for the 3DS version, open that up, enter the cheat, and close. Then put that save file ( .../gdiffuser/saves/fzerox.sav) on your 3DS SD card in the directory 3ds/gdiffuser/saves. Copy the existing save's file name then delete it.​ I did the EK version so I had to rename the file from fzerox.sav to fzerox-EK.sav, but that may not be necessary for another version. Just rename it to what the default one was called if it's different from what the pc version makes.

And it worked for me.

Hopefully this saves someone a little time. ​

I started back up a couple months ago and climbed up from S24 or 25 (don't remember off the top of my head)! I'm so happy right now! The Markiplier clip was pretty much my reaction.

Buenas saben si hay algún port del F Zero X para Xbox Clásico?
