Technical WOTLK on Macbook M1

[thevlasoff]

Hello everyone.
I am really interested if it is possible to run the 3.3.5 version on Big Sur with M1 processor?

WoW does not run on ARM processors (which includes Apple's M1). Your only options require some tech knowledge, you can try something like UTM or QEMU to emulate an x86 Windows or Mac machine. No idea about performance though, emulation is costly business in terms of performance.

There already have been several threads about this (and probably a lot more information outside this forum), and I believe the conclusion is that the game is perfectly playable if you are willing to put a bit of time into configuring it.

Even though the M1 is indeed a different processor, Rosetta 2 makes x86 emulation very, very fast: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/15...x86-benchmark/
