- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 3 weeks ago:
no, it does not.
a lot of mac games that came out before apple silicon simply will not run.
ive had mostly poor results trying to run games with crossover and whisky.
your best bet is to stick with the limited selection of games that have native apple silicon releases. with these and my m2 mac mini im still experiencing some pretty bad input lag. i am sticking to rimworld and stellaris.
