    Windows XP on an iMac?

    I want to run Windows XP in a virtual machine on my iMac (late 2015 21.5” iMac) but I don’t know what VM to use. I would run it natively but I don’t have an old pc that can run XP. Please don’t reply “use boot camp,” I know that might work but I can’t do that, I just want to run XP inside of...

    Is there only virtual pc for osx?

    In terms of x86 emulation, is there only virtualpc on the osx platform? I mean, on mac os 9 and earlier there were many different solutions, but on osx, I only know about virtual pc (besides bochs for msdos and complicated qemu), were there other x86 emulation solutions on powerpc with OSX that...

    Ubuntu UTM settings, x86 emulation

    Does anyone know anyway to get better performance out of the x86 emulation? I am not looking for anything crazy but maybe at least 5-10 fps. I found this post that helped a little bit but I'm wondering if anyone knows better settings.

    Other OpenEmu Lite - "Just works" emulator for 2D console games on OS X 10.7 – 10.9

    For as long as I've been a Mac user, there's one class of app I've never been able to find—a set of really good emulators for classic 2D game consoles like the NES and SNES. Most emulators consider Mac compatibility an afterthought, and it shows. The Mac version of RetroArch uses a confusing...

    BlueStacks and Nox App Player not booting, support teams of both apps refuse to help me, what can I do?

    It's been a month since visiting BlueStacks, so I decided to go and check what's happening with my games, and... it didn't want to boot. Quick Google search of the error "Could not start the Engine" I got gave me many results with all of them telling me to reinstall Bluestacks. No problem, so I...

    UTM running x86-64 Ubuntu 20.04 on M1 and the Potential for x86 Windows

    I've been playing around with AMD64/x86-64 emulation using QEmu via the UTM app. My initial use was Ubuntu 20.04 to assess the performance potential for someone who wants to emulate either Linux or Windows on Apple Silicon and specifically the M1. I'm testing on my M1 16GB/1TB MacBook Air. I've...

    Emulating/virtualizing my old Macs and their data

    I'm somewhat new to these concepts so feel free to correct me or ask for clarification. I'm planning to get rid of some of my previous Macs (that are between nine and fifteen years old) and I'm in the process of copying all the data over to external hard drives so I can wipe the computers clean...

    Can somebody with an M1 kindly test if an app opens through rosetta 2?

    Hello everyone. In my workflow I use plenty of high profile applications, which I'm sure can be used with the current M1 processors (either in native or rosetta 2 translation mode), but there are also a few smaller applications I rely on, that I'm not sure would open on an M1 chip...

    Hi, So a couple of years ago, I was scrolling through youtube, searching for ppc stuff on my old g5 mac, when I found this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVXTgIRmT0nHP4UpUkxGyow This channel boasts a Intel mac app "Emulator" that seems to run similar to Wine. Of course the channel has...

    Could x86-64 emulation be possible on ARM Macs?

    Rosetta 2 will not support virtualization using x86-64. And people are talking about it. But could x86-64 emulation be possible?

    OS X PlayStation 2 Emulation

    I've looked into PS2 emulation for Mac and the most up to date software I can find is PCSX2(mac) however this hasn't been updated since 2012 and according to their website is a beta that runs on Lion. Is there any software that can run on Sierra?
