This video demonstrates how easy it is to play classic retro Windows games, from Install to Play in 15 mins, using QEMU WinXP VM on MacBook Air M1. The games chosen for the demo are favorites and masterpieces of all-time for Star Wars fans -- Jedi Knight series -- Dark Forces II & Mysteries of the Sith expansion, with 3D acceleration at 1024x768 native rendering. They are original retailed CD releases and played in "pristine condition" right off the ripped CD images. Absolutely no patches required, no unexplained cults, no fiddling with versions of GPUs graphics drivers -- IT JUST WORKED!!

Both games aren't very CPU demanding at all, with recommended CPU of Pentium 133MHz. QEMU x86 emulation on Apple M1 delivers enough CPU performance to enjoy the game at full speed in high quality. Contrary to other PC emulators that overloaded CPU with software rendered "fake 3D acceleration" that result in stuttering game play, audio crackling and input lags even at the mediocre 640x480, QEMU offers true 3D acceleration that offloads onto any modern GPUs from Windows 10, Linux to macOS, delivering the absolute best, unmatched game experience at high resolution game play, crisp & clear high quality audio and near real-time input latency in the comfort of VM isolation.
