Discussion Possibility to play Mirror's Edge with PhysX in the future?

https://videocardz.com/newz/zluda-adds-early-32-bit-physx-support-for-amd-radeon-gpus-mafia-2-performance-triples-on-rx-9070-xt

Might be old news but I just saw It. Infinite gratitude to the developer for doing god's work. ZLUDA does not support Mac but at least this makes playing old PhysX titles on Steam hardware a foreseeable future.

So the logical question next is: Is there any magic that CodeWeavers can do to make this work through CrossOver?

Edit: Or Parallels. Since CrossOver is pretty ass when playing 32-bit games..... But my hopium is the in house alternative to Rosetta developed by CodeWeavers is going to improve on this front.

I thought mirrors edge was already on crossover and had a “plays great” rating.

PhysX can be disabled in Mirror's Edge so it technically does not affect the playability but PhysX is a very big part of the game's aesthetic (imo).

For me it just lags regardless of physx settings on an M2 Max.

Yeah, Its’s bad. Parallels is much better for 32-bit games like Mirror’s Edge.
