How well does it run Half Life Alyx on the Apple Vision Pro?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This emulator, without JIT, struggles to run windows XP. Let alone anything newer than that.

So no Half Life Alyx anytime soon. Maybe the original Half Life.

Why is JIT not being allowed in the app store?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Apple only allows JIT for development. Why? Only Apple knows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yep. I actually hate that.

That wouldn’t work even if you could get a modern OS to run well
