ARM support for macOS?

[ketsuban]

BlastEm and Exodus are both x86-only, so the only way to emulate the Megadrive on a modern Mac is the browser-based version of ClownMDEmu. Would you be willing to make a standalone download for Apple silicon?

I don't normally provide builds that I haven't tested myself, but I suppose I could get into the habit of it. The real problem is making an Apple silicon build at all: I don't know where to begin with that - I always assumed that I'd need a Apple silicon Mac of my own, which I don't have.

Looking around, these two could be useful:

• OSXCross
• macOS Cross Compiler

I could also use GitHub Actions to run a build-bot and produce binaries for all platforms automatically. I think I could even make it produce regular nightly builds. I just wish YAML wasn't the most obscure thing ever.

ClownMDEmu does compile on Apple silicon with no needed changes. For local compilation, all that's need is Xcode and Brew. On macOS this produces a Unix Executable, so you get a terminal window that launches the GUI application part. Unfortunately, I don't know enough ATM in how to turn it into a true App bundle for distribution.

blastem and clownmdemu both compile on apple silicon.

i test my SGDK project with both then test on an everdrive :)
