Stela

What does it do?

Stela is a UEFI boot program for x86-64 PCs that runs macOS by translating arm64 code to x86-64 and modeling Apple Silicon hardware as a Mac mini (M2). [1] It is still in development and may be slow or fail to boot on supported hardware. [2]

Currently trending because

  • Stela allows you to run the full Apple Silicon version of macOS on a standard x86 PC by translating ARM64 instructions to x86 on the fly, even supporting Metal drivers for NVIDIA cards. [2]
