![]() ![]() ![]() They are no longer at the mercy of others - e.g., Intel or AMD - for processors and can now release at their own schedule. This is important because, IMHO, this is why Apple created Apple Silicon. A down-side to this is that only MS can add code enhancement and fix bugs which means you are at the mercy of their schedule not yours. WOW64 on 64-bit MS Windows is also a software compatibility layer that allows 16-bit and 32-bit MS Windows code to run on 64-bit MS Windows. They also produced a DXVK to Metal software layer so macOS users can use native macOS Metal APIs. The Wine team produced a DirectX to Vulkan software layer so that Linux users can use native Linux Vulkan APIs. Wine uses a software compatibility layer to translate the MS Windows API codes to POSIX compliant APIs so that the software can run on POSIX compliant OS - e.g., Linux and macOS. This means the code enhancements and/or bug fixes can be quickly incorporated into Wine so that end-users see better performance on a faster cycle. )Īctually the wrappers produced by CodeWeavers are NOT emulators as they use Wine Is Not an Emulator and custom software code that CodeWeavers generally contributes back to the Wine Team. I have no idea how closely it hews to the ARM standard. ![]() So unless WG wants to write their own macOS client or CodeWeavers has an Intel -> ARM(M1) ready to go, WG doesn't have a lot of options for macOS. Specifically an emulator created by CodeWeavers. The WoWs client in macOS is actually the PC client running in an emulator. Or did you think M1 is a completely new CPU architecture Apple invented? ![]() They are just not releasing it because it's not as simple as just recompile millions lines of code (like that's simple. Microsoft doesn't have pay crapto Apple to make ARM Windows. Anyone can license ARM architecture, and many like Sumsung already have, to make M1-like chips without giving any F to Apple. Desktop? No.Īpple doesn't own ARM copyright. No PC vendor is going to use M1 until Windows for ARM is available. I am not sure if you really know what you are talking about. ![]()
