The most visible difference | The most visible difference in vanilla retail Oni is the presence of .sep files in the [[GameDataFolder]] of Mac Oni and the Windows Oni demo. This and other changes were made either for general optimization or to meet some limitation on the Mac side. Due to the fact that Mac Oni [[History of Mac Oni|was finished after]] Windows retail Oni but before the Windows demo was made, some changes made for Mac Oni carried over to the Windows demo. (This addition of .sep files was also carried into [[OniX]].) To illustrate what sort of level data files you'll find in the GameDataFolder: | ||

These updated BSL files are supplied to both Windows and Mac users of the [[Anniversary Edition]] for consistency's sake. | |||

[[OniX]] is currently Windows-only, though it will come to Macs in the future. OniX does not currently have more features than the last build of Oni for Intel Macs (see below), but it runs on modern Windows machines, which sadly Mac users cannot say about the Intel Mac build since support for 32-bit apps was dropped from macOS in 2019. OniX also supports HDPI and high refresh rate displays. | |||
