This is basically what Apple’s game porting toolkit does, except that’s not meant for distributing to end users (probably because they don’t want to expose their users to the bugs inherent to such emulation layers).

does rosetta 2 not already handle this scenario for macs?

AFAIK Rosetta deals with Intel Mac apps, not Windows. If this handles Windows games like Proton does… pretty big news!

Apple has their own wine based tool called Game Porting Toolkit that runs windows games and uses Rosetta.

Rosetta is for the game makers, proton is for the fans. So its easier for people to make the games work vs waiting on the game developers to manually port it using rosetta
