# inFAMOUS 2: a static recompilation for Apple-silicon macOS

> inFAMOUS 2 translates the PS3 digital release NPUA80638's PowerPC and SPU code to C/C++ and compiles it into a native Apple-silicon macOS game with Metal graphics. Built on ps3recomp and a community fork, the port rebuilds from the player's own copy. The author reports menus, cutscenes, and early New Marais gameplay in an alpha build.
