The Mac mini/MacBook Air/MacBook Pro of Apple's M1 chip version constantly refreshes everyone's impression of computers and notebooks with extremely powerful performance and unmatched energy consumption ratio. But as we all know, the new Mac can't run Windows through Boot Camp like the previous Mac, which makes many old Mac users feel a little sorry.
However, on November 20, it was reported that the M1 version of the Mac could already save the country in a curved way by running Windows software and games in a "double doll" way. From Windows software to iOS app, M1 can be killed (translation and virtual version, performance discount).
Foreign CodeWeavers announced that their CrossOver 20 software can already run on the M1 version of the Mac. CrossOver, like its name, is responsible for running Windows environments on Mac and Linux devices. CrossOver is a platform based on the open source project Wine. It can run Windows software without installing a complete Windows system. It operates Android emulators similar to some Windows platforms.
However, it is embarrassing that CrossOver 20 has not yet adapted to the M1 version of the Mac. The actual test is on the macOS Big Sur 11.1 beta system (this version has an important patch for Rosetta 2). CrossOver was first translated through the conversion tool Rosetta 2. After the double dolls of transfer and simulation, MacBook Air even managed to run the games of "Aming Us" and "Legion Fortress 2" successfully. The frame rate is not high, and it can barely play, which is far beyond the level of "one frame can play, two frames are smooth, and three frames of E-sports".
In addition, Parallels, the Windows virtual machine on the Mac, has also confirmed that it will develop the M1 version. In the future, there will be more and more choices for the M1 version of the Mac. However, Apple's appeal to developers is indeed not comparable to Microsoft. A new one is coming: your next Windows computer may not be Windows.
