To run Windows on an M1 Mac, you can use tools and projects that facilitate the evaluation and porting of Windows applications to Apple Silicon. One of the key tools mentioned at WWDC is the Game Porting Toolkit, which allows you to evaluate and port Windows games to Apple devices. This toolkit includes an evaluation environment that supports various game technologies, including AVX instructions and ray tracing, to help you understand how your game will perform on Apple Silicon before starting the porting process.

Here are some relevant sessions and chapters from WWDC that discuss these tools and processes:

  1. Port advanced games to Apple platforms

    • Evaluate your game: Learn how to use the evaluation environment to see your game running on Apple Silicon.
    • Port your game: Understand the steps to bring your game's code and assets to Apple devices.
    • Debug and profile with Metal tools: Utilize Metal tools to debug and profile your game during the porting process.
  2. Platforms State of the Union

    • Gameporting Toolkit: Overview of the Gameporting Toolkit and its updates, including community projects like Whiskey and Homebrew, and products like Crossover that help in the evaluation process.

For more detailed steps and tools, you can refer to the specific chapters in the sessions mentioned above. If you need a specific timestamp or more detailed information, feel free to ask!
