About the project

Static recompilation of Call of Duty: Black Ops II from 32-bit x86 Windows to native ARM64 macOS: Remill lifts code to LLVM IR, a hand-written Win32 runtime, Direct3D 11 drawn by Metal. Players build the app from their own Steam copy on their Mac.

Useful for
  • Build a native ARM64 port of Black Ops II from your own Steam copy on Apple Silicon
  • Run campaign, Zombies or multiplayer against bots without Wine or JIT
  • Study an x86-to-ARM64 static recompilation pipeline built on Remill and LLVM

2.8 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 14, 2026, 10:41 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

060120November 3, 2026November 14, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:05–10:34: 235 → 240 stars (+5). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +14 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 11 days old and already has 240 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: Black Ops II statically recompiled to native ARM64 macOS” — 150 points, 3 days ago.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @gmh5225 (1,312 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 168.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
