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.

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!

Update is postponed: August planned release is still active. This runtime is going under extreme scrutinization, big fix hardening, load hardening , and more. The current dependency bundles can be found under releases for other developers to test: It does load windows steam, it is just slow right now, which is not acceptable for an official release. The next work will focus heavily on CEF support, optimization fixes, and fully supported claims. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please use the 0.57.0 release for now until the next one is dropped. Current program is not receiving any more fixes or hardening until this new one is completed, it would genuinely just back track the program since the entire runtime it's going to be using has now altered greatly.
