Next Question, if you can run Windows ARM as VM on a M1 Mac, will it be possible some day to install Windows ARM NATIVELY to a Apple Silicon Mac, a la bootcamp? I think all that would be needed is a special bootloader to trick Windows ARM into thinking it is a Surface Pro or something. There was no competition before, so Qualcomm and Microsoft had no pressure to push Windows ARM or the Surface Pro, it just had to be good enough. Ironically, because the M1 is so fast, according to some reviews, Windows ARM runs faster as a VM on a M1 Mac than it does on a Surface Pro natively. I wonder if VMware has a skunk works project going on to do the same I'm sure VMWare is watching how the Parallels experiment goes and whether consumers take to it. Even still the, it's actually quite amazing that it can be done, that a 32/64-bit Intel Windows app can run under emulation on a ARM version of Windows built for Qualcomm's ARM chip, running as a Virtual Machine on a Apple Mac with a Apple designed ARM processor. Lingering application issues, emulation of Intel, problems running older 32-bit Intel apps (under emulation). It's a proof of concept, the bigger issue is, will running the ARM version Windows satisfy people who want to run Windows on a Apple Silicon Mac, because Windows ARM still has it's own issues even on official Windows hardware like the Surface Pro. I've tried it, it works, for the most part, still a lot of work to do, but interesting. Cheers.So, Parallels is showing off a Technical Preview of Parallels that can run the ARM version of Windows on Apple Silicon apps. It's not my first language and I need more coffee. I for one would like to have some older plugins, because there some native ones that don't work on Catalina anymore and later and there is no good substitute. One thing that would be really neat, is a port of a VST wrapper like yabridge ( ) and a current build of wine for Mac. I would also recommend Crossover to TommyZai over a plain wine environment and a VM, because it does take care of a lot of busy work like finding the correct dll or runtime that a program needs and the UI makes it very easy to use without any command line shenanigans.Īpps can be run just like a native one and sit with a shiny icon in the dock. I suspect some bugs deep down in the USB driver of the Linux kernel and wine. I tried to update a synth and a Kaosspad without success. Another thing that does not work is flashing firmware in my experience. It can also be used to sandbox apps and not letting them call home or restrict access to files outside the wine environment.īut there are some exceptions like running a Windows DAW, or standalone audio programs because unlike games those are very sensitive to the buffer/cpu tradeoff and produce underruns or cpu spikes. I have used wine a lot on Linux and it can run about everything (no ilok) and it's very useful to run older Windows software that need some specific dll or have other compatibility issues on modern Windows versions like 10 and 11. In my experience some keygens and other programs might require one or the other. I drop the the standalone program or installer inside it and then run it with "execute command inside bottle" and save a starter if needed. One with Windows 7 32-bit and another one with Windows 10 64 bit. To hopefully add something useful to the conversation, my approach to run Windows apps on Catalina is to have two "wine bottles". Have a bunch of old games, like the Sierra and Might and Magic stuff that's Windows only, I've bought off GOG that seem to work just fine too, but I usually only install those to grab the files and run them in DOSBox natively. At one point I had the old EMU Emulator X running in it and could convert stuff into banks for my E4, but for some reason it seems to have lost its crack and no matter what I do now, can't even get the R2R 'fixed' one to register. ![]() ![]() Keygens are fine, you don't even need to install those, just select one of your pre-existing Bottles and use 'Run as Command' on the Keygen and it will just run the Keygen and when you're done its gone. I really only use it to run ClrMAMEPro or ROMVault, and EE Keeper so I can cheat at Baldur's Gate 1/2, those all work great. NET stuff still not working right here and there. ![]() Crossover will try to grab Windows dependencies when it needs them, but it's a little iffy at best.Ive run into. You can even get it to launch Wineskin itself and play with that if you want. Click to expand.Crossover IS Wineskin with a Mac GUI on top.
