    Amazing stuff, although if Doom had worked well on a 386 back in the 90s I'd probably not have ended up in IT. Spent countless hours trying to get games working by messing about wi…

    Have you tried Apple Porting Toolkit? It’s able to get most of my Steam library working well (Cyberpunk and Halo for example). There is an app called Whisky that removes the hoops.…
