> I have tested multiple Windows games on M1 MacBook Air through Crossover

So you had x64 binaries calling a DX API that called a Vulkan API that called a Metal API all on top of a JIT translation layer to ARM on two month old hardware and it worked well?

That’s fucking incredible, man.

I don't have a mac anymore, but a few months back I was using crossover on catalina, and can confirm that the DX11 translation works well. I can believe that even on Rosetta it'd still work surprisingly well.
Quinn from snazzy labs got the Witcher 3 running on an m1 MacBook Air at a blazing 40fps!

Absolute insanity how well tooling has evolved.

On what settings?
