Running original Dune 2000 on macOS with Apple Silicon?

Has anyone successfully managed to run the original version of Dune 2000 on an Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3/M4/M5)?

I’ve tried using OpenRA as an alternative, but I find it lacks the authenticity of the original game. More importantly, it seems impossible to change the interface language to anything other than English. For me, playing in my native language is essential for the nostalgic immersion, and being stuck in English completely breaks that experience.

Since native emulation options like Rosetta 2 don't support PowerPC apps directly, I was wondering if you know of any specific wrappers (like UTM or specific DOSBox configurations) that work well for the original executable on Silicon chips.

Thanks in advance for your tips!

Inquiry about future support for Emperor: Battle for Dune with OpenRA

I am writing to ask if there are any plans to add support for Emperor: Battle for Dune in the future. I know the engine currently focuses on the classic Westwood RTS titles, but I was curious if this specific game is on the roadmap or if it has been considered by the development team.

Thank you for your time and for your great work on the engine.
