DF running on ARM64 using Box64
« on: September 25, 2023, 08:05:23 am »
Hi, just wanted to say that a pull request has just been merged in Box64 (https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64) that provides support for Dwarf Fortress 0.50.x

It means one can now run DF on a Mac M1 running Linux. Performance is quite good for me at least (which means it could be great with a native ARM64 version). I know Box64 has been used to run past versions of DF on Android and I guess it could work as well for DF 0.50.x (I don't intend to try that, though).

Since it's just been merged you will have to wait for a Box64 release or build it yourself, which is quite easy.
