Can we get a port to M1 Macs?

[Count Scaphandre]

The remastered collection would be a great fit for M1 Macs, and it sucks it's not available despite how old the games are.

With all of the recent and upcoming changes to Apple hardware and software, you'd likely have serious compatibility issues.

It would be best to use a different is as it would be too time consuming to port it to another OS, let alone the too few user count to justify it.

Let me shoot your entire logic out of the water there with two simple facts.

1. The Remaster is from June 2020. It's not an old game at all. The fact its internal game core is built on code from 1995 is irrelevant to that, since the engine running that core is not.
   
2. The original C&C1 has a mac version. I got DMG images of that if you want. But good luck getting a mac program from 1995 to run on modern macs.

I'm not sure how a game being old would somehow warrant it having a modern mac port anyway... that seems like completely backwards logic.

If anything its the opposite, and old game would need some serious money thrown at it for a conversion to another platform, which they most likely would not be able to justify for the user base.

Try using proton/wine you might get it running.

Fun fact: C&C1 runs just fine on modern Macs - or rather did before Apple killed support for anything that wasn't 64 bit.
