It’s a dynamic binary translator and it creates an application compatibility layer between x86 and the M1 chip. But what apple has done is introduced something called Rosetta 2.
They were actually designed to run on x86 because that’s all these macs have been powered by for a very long time. Keep in mind when we get into running these retro emulators they were never designed to run on an arm chip. This is apple silicon It’s known as the M1 chip and it’s an ARM cpu. Not that it’s a new macbook coming out but that it’s powered by an ARM chip.
Now i’ve actually been super excited about this. Today we’re going to be testing out some of our favorite emulators on the all new Apple Macbook Pro with the all-new apple silicon. Retro Emulation on the new Apple M1 CPU is Good
