reFrozen
Native recompilation of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (1.26a) for Apple Silicon.
Overview
Planned with the same method as ReCarbon: statically recompile the game's x86 Win32 code (war3.exe and Game.dll 1.26a) for arm64, on a native runtime that replaces Win32, Direct3D 8/9, DirectSound and Storm, so that DotA Allstars (v6.83) plays on macOS without Wine or a VM. Whether this is feasible is still being studied.
