Can the apple MacBook neo play older games well?

Things like warcraft 3, starcraft 2, terraria and maybe ROMs of PS2 and older games?

Most likely. You have to understand that modern chips are way overpowered compared to tech of that generation. But for some games you're going to have to run older windows games on a VM or wait for FEX.

yes, it should be fine! re:emulation on youtube you can check retro game corps
>>
>>108498083
Yes. The games you mentioned have native macOS arm versions anyway. Dolphin for gamecube emulation works really well, too.
Last I checked PS2 emulation was not so good. PCSX2, I think, only includes translation to x86, so it's probably slow. I heard AetherSX2 released an ARM version, but I always found that project really shady.

>warcraft 3/starcraft 2/terraria
I think it could run all of those games at once honestly, modern computers are stupidly powerful they're just disgustingly unoptimized
>>
>>108498083
No, because macos has shit backwards compatibility, deliberately. They break backwards compatibility in every release because they want you to be stuck buying new software every year or two, or otherwise stuck on subscription model stuff.
That means that any game you'd play on the macbook neo must still be in active development and getting new releases to keep up with the macos upgrade treadmill, or you probably won't be able to run them

Why haven't any of you posted picrel yet?

Is /g/ dying?

>>108500917
Playing emulated Windows games sucks, yes. Thank you for stating the obvious.

>>108500917
that image is outdated. with the thermal pad mod the neo gets 90fps in gta.

What's GTA5 got to do with Warcraft3 and SC2?

thermal pad.

You can, but to save on GPU power the inbuilt AI just generates a lot of it.

I don’t think anything from steam will run on it like assassin’s creed, etc ,, but StarCraft will because of that Rossetti stone shit that emulates x86. That’s coming from someone that bought his brother a used M2 earlier this year for their homework and played around with it for a few months. I wanna Terraria ran on it as well but I can’t remember, same with Cassetteboy
>>
>>108501274
oh no, it can't run the latest assassin's creed slop
>>
>>108501294
or GTA V....

>>108498083
Buy a 200 bucks old laptop with dedicated gpu. It will be much better than a currybook

>>soldered SSD/RAM/WLAN
>doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
This pasta needs to change anon, Most laptops have soldered RAM and WLAN, only SSDs are removable... That's been standard for many years now.

>>108501294
I wanna say I tried running the first OG assassins creed because I never played it and got it cheap on steam. A bunch of games like that didn’t work and more than I expected because I thought Rossetti would have allowed them to work via emulation Duck tales remastered 2014 and fallout new Vegas didn’t work either as well as metal gear rising from what I remember.. I have a huge backlog of games…laid off from a dod top secret clearance job…so plenty of time to play these game finally
