    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.

      exactly, rosetta has nothing to do with windows apps.

    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
