What does this have to do with Rosetta?



Most games don’t have an ARM version yet, so Rosetta lets you play x86 games.


Doesn't GPTK depend on Rosetta?


All x86 software being run on macOS relies on Rosetta 2. It effectively does a translation of x86 binaries to ARM binaries. Then, WINE handles the PE to mach-o translation along with providing a system call translation from Windows to *nix. Game porting toolkit then adds in macOS specific stuff as well as Vulkan and DirectX translation to Metal.


Vulkan? Are you sure? Last time I checked it was just only Direct 3D. For Vulkan there is only MoltenVK.
