Patch

IMPORTANT: As of macOS Sequoia 15.4+, Apple added support for F16C and BMI instructions in Rosetta 2. As such, this patch may no longer be necessary (for those with this update). Before running the original (i.e. non-patched) version, include ROSETTA_ADVERTISE_AVX=1 in the launch parameters to activate the instructions.[2]
Patch

Download the patch for free from my patreon.
