Yeah but like, Apple put Rosetta 2 out and it was damn good.

Vendors didn’t have to do shit to support the platform, they just got better performance if they did (like factorio).

There is something of a difference between “all your stuff will still work, at comparable performance” and arm windows which (as evidenced by all the vendor promises) you can’t really currently say with prism.

I would describe prism as “surprisingly rubbish considering they had an example of how to do it right” and “your app probably doesn’t run because of drivers or some ??? compatibility thing”.

Am I misremembering? I remember being blown away by Rosetta.

Prism… yeah. Toggle the settings. Disable jit. Disable FP. …bin laptop. Get an intel laptop.

I think a lot of it is down to Windows, not Prism itself.

For decades, Windows made it too easy for games and even some application to install drivers. Windows games use drivers for anti-cheat (and historically for copy protection too). Neither Apple Rosetta nor Microsoft Prism can translate/emulate drivers, but since drivers have been much more prevalent on Windows, now Windows has a much biggest compatibility problem.
