But, to make it clear, it was a joke. It's actually very cool. I just get cranky that 3/4 of my Steam games don't work on new Macs, and I did like HL.

I love that simcity4 has an applesilicon and big name recent releases don't.

Yay.

Well, try installing this Wine build for Mac and then Steam for Windows under it.

Then run Steam and enable "Steam Play/Proton compatibility" or whatever it's called under its settings.

Nah, that's based.

If Apple Silicon ran my games collection I simply wouldn't have another computer other than my M2 MBP. I've run Fallout 3 on it, and while the emulation isn't perfect, it is playable and runs. The fan doesn't turn into a jet aircraft at takeoff, the temps stay cool.

The fact that most games won't play on Apple Silicon natively is a crime.

Tangentially related, there are now "officially allowed" Apple Silicon builds of Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004 available [0]

Install this Wine build for Apple Silicon and then install anything you want, from Steam to GOG games which often will perfectly run in your machine:

Next, open Steam and enable the "Steam Play/proton compatibility" in the settings.
