Brief

Super Mario 64 is running natively on Apple Vision Pro (posted 2026-08-03 by @jdunrrp, shared by @pvncher) and offers five modes — 2D window, 3D stereoscopic, 3D portal, third‑person VR, and fully immersive VR — demonstrating a Vision Pro proof‑of‑concept that preserves original content; no ROM is included, users must supply a legal copy.

Why it matters

Super Mario 64 is running natively on Apple Vision Pro with five display modes: standard 2D window, 3D stereoscopic, 3D 'portal' (a window into the game world), third‑person VR, and fully immersive VR.

Key details

This is exactly how I always envisioned the future of gaming on xr headsets should look like.

Your screen becomes a portal that you can peer into. It makes games way more immersive without needing to do much to the original content.
