Does something like Whisky work in the new macOS Apple Silicon world? I assume its quite a bit slower to simulate Windows while at the same time translating x86 to Apple Silicon. I ask because this would be a justified break from this project, it's kind of a nightmare setup, you're better off just buying a $300 Windows laptop at Walmart or something.

From personal experience/experimentation, on a Macbook with a top-of-the-line M3 Max chip, GTAV runs perfectly at 60fps, Elden Ring runs on fairly high settings at ~45fps, and CS2 pulls 30-40fps and may be optimizable to 60. God of War (2022) is also playable, though a bit laggy with the default settings. So the hardware is more than capable, even with the translation layer.
