What are some of these interesting, unmaintained 32-bit apps you speak of?
- mrsteveman1 4y agoThe only Steam game in my library that still works now is Myst. The list of Steam games that even supported macOS at all was already quite short, but now Portal, Portal 2, Team Fortress, the entire Half-Life series, and quite a few others will no longer run. The switch to Apple silicon machines also makes running them in a VM tricky. Even though Windows supports running x86 code on Arm hardware, the mix of architectures inside the VM creates new problems, particularly for Steam.
- philistine 4y agoNomenclature wise, those are games, not exactly apps. What are some applications that are missing?
- memsom 4y agoTascam us-122mkII support was dropped. It is ancient, but it still works and there was a Windows 10 driver. I just got a cheaper Behringer uphoria that uses standard USB audio (or whatever) but loosing the Tascam was annoying.

- bigDinosaur 4y agoThey're an Objective C developer, so no, I won't. It's a very typical Apple device user response of 'why would you want to do that?' epitomised by Jobs' 'you're holding it wrong' advice.

- tambourine_man 4y agoWhat do you mean by invalid files? I never had a problem with Preview scanner. You can also try VueScan, which is a spartan UI, but works great.
- vetinari 4y agoInvalid files as in it creates PDF, but it is not valid PDF and it will fail to open. When trying to scan into TIFF, it will crash. It is pretty much device specific; an HP MFP at home works fine. The Samsung app was an workaround, but it was pretty obvious that nobody is going to fix Image Capture.
