[QUOTE="Tom Bombadildo, post: 10179329, member: 187316"] So technically there are a couple ways you can do it. On Intel-based Macs, you can just install Windows using Bootcamp and play games that way. For M1 based Macs, there are a couple of options. You can just use Wine, which works for some stuff but has worse compatibility on Mac vs using Wine on Linux. I was able to play through Pizza Tower without issues using Wine, and my wife plays an..."acquired" version of the Sims 4 with no problems as well, so depends on what you want to do. Or you can use Parallels, which is basically just a Windows VM. But performance will vary widely, as Parallels only lets you make a VM of the ARM versions of Windows 10/11, so not only do you have the performance hit of a VM in the way but also the x86 emulation Windows for ARM uses to run x86 based things. That said, I was able to play Dragon Age: Origins all the way through on my M1 Macbook Air without issue, and there are a few [URL='https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/M1_Parallels_Windows_compatible_games_list']compatibility lists[/URL] that give you a good idea of what you can get away with. EDIT: As for the news, I'll wait until someone actually uses it before I'll say much, but I'm not holding my breath for much. Apple's silicon is cool, but the iGPU in both the M1s and M2s can barely beat out Nvidias 1650 which is despicable for the prices they charge, so I wouldn't expect any mind blowing ports. [/QUOTE]
