Force Rosetta Mode on an App

Apparently it's possible to force rosetta mode, so you're running in emulation

Run x86 Apps (including homebrew) in the Terminal on Apple Silicon

I am not sure how many of you got your new shiny M1 based Mac today and wondered how to get your homebrew or other terminal apps that don't yet support ARM up and running well here is how to do it.

Rosetta isn't emulation. On an M1 app, if the app is universal, the OS will try to run the ARM code by default. What that checkbox does is force a universal app to run the Rosetta translated X86 code. This would be appropriate if your universal app uses plug-ins that are X86 only (haven't yet made the jump to universal).
