Anyone knows good mac games software sources? Googling so far hasn’t lead me to anywhere good enough.
I am in search of Rocksmith 2014 that had been released for PC/Mac in 2014 and maintained for Mac until 2024 (but it seems still working in M chips).
I understand that whatever I am seeking for might as well not exist anymore or has ever existed. But, just for a back up, I’d like to know of places where cracked Mac software and games can be obtained.
Thank you in advance!
BrokenStones.is is what I could find after finding a Reddit post saying the original was taken down and this is the new site. Can’t see anything they have without joining.
The same thread also pointed me to MacBB.org. Same story, can’t see shit without joining.

Go here and learn how to interview for a music site called redacted. Take the test and get in. Go to garage sales and local CD stores to fill people’s requests for music cheaply until you climb a couple of ranks. This will open the invite forum where you can get to Broken Stones.
These are crème of the crop torrent sites—they don’t let just anyone in. You have to do a little work, but you will soon be rewarded with access to every type of media you can imagine if you put in the effort. Good luck!
Appreciate that, but I have a pretty good access to media as it is.
On a lighter note, I did check it out. I know a lot, but there’s always someone who knows more. What I do know is how to get the best possible lossy audio on my computer. My issue presently with that is, I do not have an optical drive. Both of my computers are too small for them. The solution is a $30 external drive I can hook up to either of them. Though I’m not sure “expert rippers/encoders” would agree with using a cheap drive, they’d probably recommend/require a better one. So my present way around that is to acquire FLAC and run that through my encoder. I use AAC Low Complexity and crank it up all the way. My M4A files are a hair bigger than 320k MP3s and sound better. The only issue I have found with M4A is that Winamp cannot play them. I’m not joking. A media player from the 1990s but people still love it. I found a Mac version called MacAmp, and guess what, it can’t play them either. Winamp can play M4A with a plugin, it just doesn’t ship with the product. Literally everything else, I’m sure, can play it, due to the licensing for MPEG-4/M4A being much looser than MP3, which basically everyone just pirates and the company doesn’t really care because that horse isn’t only dead at this point, it’s decomposed and its ashes are gone with the wind. There isn’t even a dead horse to beat anymore. The issue is effectively moot.
All that being said, I appreciate the link and I’m quite tempted to try it anyway. The worst that can happen is I learn a lot and don’t get in. Or I just learn a lot and don’t apply.
For what it’s worth (if you want to know, I mean) I use fre:ac to encode. There might be better tools, but this one gets me where I want to go. And Mp3Tag to fix the tags (there’s always something wrong).
I wonder how my encodes would stack up against theirs. I have high standards, especially with the metadata. I’m also pushing 50 and I have some hearing loss. So there’s that working against me.
I think you would be quite happy with their encoded and metadata. I can track everything in my library back to the individual CD if came from.
I know what you’re talking about. I’ve had FLACs come to me that had the CD designation (not UPC). At least, I think that’s what you mean. So if I knew what that meant (or had a site that could tell me), I could also track that thing… but I took that data out. Sorry, not my thing. You might be thinking “damn you heathen” (hopefully not seriously maliciously though!) but I just don’t care. Some people care about quality and some people care about some specific thing. Take Guns n’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion (I or II, doesn’t matter.) Some people will tell you the original CD is best. Some will say the recent (2024?) remaster is best. Some will say they have both and they consider the former to be a 1990/1991 (whenever it was) release and the latter to be a 2024 (or whenever) release. I’ll just grab the remaster, change the date to the original album release, and call it a day.
Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I dig it.
That’s not at all to say I couldn’t learn to do it the “right” way. I originally typed with just my left hand, with my right operating Shift and Enter. I did about 50WPM that way, believe it or not. They made me learn the “right” way in school. I respect the “right” way of doing things, especially when it’s based on good data. I just don’t always follow it myself.
