scummVM runs on new MacBook with M1 Chip?

Post by iZen1974 »

Hi,

has anyone a new MacBook 2020 with the M1 Chip from Apple and got ScummVM running?

I could help me, to decide to buy this one or not.

Thank you so much :)
Greetings

I don't, but guy on my local forum recently bought new Mac Book Air with M1, so I asked him, if he's willing to test it.

It works! ;)

No problem through Rosetta 2:

As for building it for arm64, it works with MacPorts and the ./configure script (as documented on the Wiki), if you add "port install glew" too (the Wiki doesn't have it yet) and drop mpeg2 and related engines for now (mpeg2 code is old, but it just requires a simple patch for arm64).

Having a Universal build through Xcode looks a bit harder, though…
