Sid Meier’s Pirates! for Mac
Another Sid Meier’s game received an port update: Sid Meier’s Pirates! The game is updated and optimized for Apple Silicon for the latest Mac OS. Still it hasn’t reached the same performance as on Intel based Systems, but this game plays fine and I enjoyed playing the game so far on my Apple Silicon Mac M4 :). Besides performance improvements, it also contains the low-resolution fix so no external screen or 3rd party screen resolution handler software needs to be installed!

Does not really work. It does not even install. After the Wrapper is generated it asks for the game exe before even installing it.
