About the project
A UEFI boot layer that lets x86-64 PCs run Apple Silicon software: it translates arm64e code to x86-64, provides a Metal driver for NVIDIA GPUs and models Mac mini (M2) hardware to boot macOS 27. Still early v0.1.0, slow and unstable.
Useful for
- Boot macOS on an x86-64 PC with an NVIDIA GPU from a USB stick
- Test arm64e binaries on x86-64 via the AOT/JIT translator
- Run Metal shaders on NVIDIA GPUs through the AIR-to-NIR compiler

Stars per day
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), 00:03–10:32: 1867 → 2023 stars (+156). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +374 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 4.9× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- The repository is 33 days old and already has 2,023 stars.
- Hacker News: “A general purpose Apple Silicon layer for x86-64 PCs” — 149 points, 2 days ago.
- About 30 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 1,986.

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.
