My favorite Gemini 4 Argon experiment was converting Alan Wake 2 from x86 and Windows to native Arm64 on macOS
Argon write rust bindings for every x86 byte and op to Arm as well as Windows to macOS + convert to Metal Shaders and did it in a way that can be AoT compiled without Rosetta
It works, gets over 140fps on M3 Ultra. What I’m doing now is having Argon build out generalized bindings for more games, to see if this could be applied to get fully native games on macOS without developers needing to support it!
