I spent some time over the bank holiday weekend building a VST2 wrapper which can run old Intel 32bit VST2 plugins in a DAW running on Apple Silicon. Ideal for preserving old classics like Camel Phat! If it's useful let me know

fyi, camel phat is part of logic currently (am on an M5pro MBP, running LP 12.2)...
EDIT: ah, you could run it in other DAWs... got it

The trouble here being is that Apple has announced that they will be dropping their Intel/Rosetta support with macOS 28, the OS after this next one. Though, the writing has always been on the wall since they first dropped their M-Class chips in 2020.zeep wrote: Mon May 11, 2026 10:03 am This is great. Could you add functionality for running this plugin in Rosetta mode? I don't use silicon but i would like to use old 32bit vsts!
Point being, the code for old 32-bit VSTs will no longer be readable by the OS. It's probably a rabbit hole you really don't want to go down at this stage.

True, but for the past years up to now, and for the coming years if i don't update the OS, i will be happily using all the old intel plugins that still work fine using Rosetta. I'm not the only one either.
Lucky for us, Rosetta performance is great.
This just seems like an interesting sidequest to get older 32bit vst's running. If the OP doesn't do it, or can't, that's fine too.
In the case of Camelphat, i use the m4l wrapper which works fine too.

No, you don't NEED to update. Not if you're happy to "freeze" your machine at the state it's at.zeep wrote: Wed May 13, 2026 9:09 am True, but for the past years up to now, and for the coming years if i don't update the OS, i will be happily using all the old intel plugins that still work fine using Rosetta.

As you won't be able to upgrade anything going into the future. Well, Intell support will take a few more years to die off with other devs, but the writing is on the wall with that one too.
