Hi!

I love DF *EDIT* LEGACY (47.5 and previous for mac/linux) and especially enjoy playing on my mac. Im just wondering, since I am shopping for a new silicon mac, if DF LEGACY will still install the same as on my current intel based mac. Are the wiki install articles for mac still relevant for the new M1/M2's? Ive read wine is necessary for the newer steam/io version but I am only interested in classic.

Thank you for the insight and sorry if this is a silly question.

Classic versions of 50+ are also only for windows currently. Porting to Linux and Mac will happen, but it could be a while.

Classic is just a version of Steam without the graphics/soundtrack the program is otherwise the same.

Im sorry i meant **LEGACY**, 47.5 and previous. My fault. Is there any difference in requirements for LEGACY df from intel mac to mac silicon? Thank you for your reply

I know some had trouble getting it to work properly on M1/2, and I'm not aware if any reliable solution was found. So even for pre-50 versions running the windows version through some compatibility or emulation layer is probably needed on non-intel hardware.
