Rosetta 2 is Apple’s key to making the ARM transition less painful
- blacksoil 6y agoI'm really curious how performant Rosetta translated x86 applications would be, especially considering Transmeta's non-succesful attempt of doing something similar. It sounds like the key difference is that Rosetta would do it ahead of time instead of real-time like Transmeta?
- orionblastar 6y agoSounds like what ARDI's Executor did on the PC and Next systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executor_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executor_(software) It translated Mac 68K code to native code. Like WINE does. It was released as open source under the MIT license and this is the most active fork: https://github.com/autc04/executor https://github.com/autc04/executor It needs no ROM or Mac System files.
