Update 0.60.0 On it's Way!

[aaf2tbz]

Metalsharp is moving entirely away from rosetta and implementing it's own wine surface. Planned Release: August 1st, 10PM Mountain Time. What this will look like:

• Metalsharp will be upgrading it's Wine runtime to the 11.12 Release with No-Rosetta dependency. This work has moved completely offline and will only become available when finished. Currently, this work has completed the following;

Finished Work:

• Wine has been built as Wine 11.12 Arm64 under Apple-darwin; Guest hosts Aarch64, Arm64EC, x86_64, i386/WOW64
• VKD3D-Proton -> DXVK -> MoltenVK (VKMT Stack) -> Metal
• Native Arm64/Aarch64/Arm64EC DXMT Support (Release 0.80.0) -> Metal
• i386/WOW64 support layer with native Arm64 Custom FEX Guest Translation
• VKMT, DXMT -> i386/WOW64 confirmed loading under FEX / Guest Translation
• OpenGL V1-4 -> Spir-V -> Metal under all hosts
• SDL2/3 , Xinput, Dinput Controller Support built-in
• FNA/XNA Support built-in
• Gecko, Java, Inso, Msi, CEF, WIX Support built-in
• Msync, MetalFX support built-in

Next Work:

• Loading EAC / Battleye launchers natively on MacOS Silicon

What's New In the App?

• More Themes: Banana, Lava, Beach, Xray
• More freedom over bottles with option to revert; Select from MetalSharp's large set of compatability shims / dlls and install into bottles.
• Ram/CPU optimization fixes for Steam Wrapper loading.
• Allows user to enable / disable Msync
• Allows user to select Xinput / Dinput for controllers
• Allows user to toggle MetalFX (Metal Upscaling) , 1.25x/1.50x/1.75x
• Backend Optimizations
• Opt In Analytics in settings; Allow me to get a ping with crash results whenever something fails to better address issues. This will explicitly not expose any private user information and be a toggle-on only feature, not enabled by default.

Update 0.60.0 Is the Next Planned Major Release. Currently, I have worked hard on implementing the basic surfaces needed for this transition. 0.56.8 will likely be the last current release until August 1st, which is when I have set the goal to release this update. Thank you for playing MetalSharp, Enjoy!
