TRS19 is certainly playable on the new (late 2020) M1 Mac Mini (16/512), but don't expect
the equivalent performance of a Radeon 5700XT in an eGPU.
The current Intel binary (build 109646) runs in Rosetta emulation.
Performance (especially draw distance) must be dialed down to get frame rates of 20-30 in
sessions like Fossil Fuels (Kickstarter Country). Even sessions in Roy's TRS19 CPR routes
get around 20 fps, not great but not bad either.
I just completed Dundee - Edinburgh session: frame rates around the stations are lowish,
but once the train gets going frame rates up to 50 fps.
The amazing thing is: the Mac Mini stays cool to the touch, didn't notice the fan blowing
warm air.
I wonder what TRS19 could be like when coded natively for ARM architecture and the
graphics entirely in Metal...
All the same, no match for my gaming PC with RTX2080.
