Game compatibilities with the new Apple M1, Big Sur

[::(B)uckiller::]

Is there some way to see what games in your library will be compatible with the new Macbooks (using the AArch64 ISA) coming out soon?

No, you just have to try them. If they're 64-bit they may work fine through Rosetta. Wait for some reviews of the new Macs. Also check out this thread at Insidemacgames where people will report about this subject: http://www.insidemacgames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49045&st=0

eGPU is also nit supported by M1 Macs: https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/11/10/apple-silicon-m1-macs-do-not-support-egpus

Thanks for the links/resources. I'll keep an eye out.

Sad to see about the eGPU, but hopefully that's a SW issue that Apple will add support later.

Don't expect games to magically run on ARM CPUs, even with Rosetta2.
If they run, expect a bad performance. Rosetta wasn't a magic bullet, so Rosetta2 won't be either.
If it were that easy to run x86-64 code on ARM, then it would have been done already.

well, that is not really a fact, so far it looking good on the M1 chip.

Intel has lagged for a while. so far, AMD and Apple are kicking butt.
