![]() But (and this an important but) the Fusion 12 core hypervisor Intel aware code does not work as it’s not coded to virtualize ARM operating systems. Unfortunately it appears to install and run, but only its GUI will run under Rosetta. Fusion 12 is documented as not compatible with Apple Silicon Macs. If I buy it, will it work? Anything special I have to do? Thanks.įusion 13 is the first release that will work with M1/M2 Macs. ![]() ![]() So please, just tell me this: VMWare is now offering me an upgrade to VM Player Version 13. Yes, I understand that Apple changed chips in 2021, but non-tech consumers like me (ignoramuses, true - but without us there wouldn't be enough sales to keep most software companies afloat) we naturally assume that the third-party software for Mac that we use will adjust accordingly, as nearly all my others have. So: When I installed a VM Player almost 15 years ago, it simply worked. I'm dazzled and humbled that you know what all that stuff means, but, sorry, I don't. ![]() It tells me that "This version of VMware Fusion is for Intel-based Macs, but is being run on an Apple silicon based Mac via Rosetta-2, See KB-84273" followed by "Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken." Please understand that I'm not an idiot: I'm at the top of my own profession and I've used personal computers for decades, but I don't know much about technical innards - such as what Rosetta-2 is, or how to "rebuild those VMs with Linux or Windows 11 operating systems that are built for ARM architecture CPUs." I don't even know where to look for KB-84273, whatever that is. Technogeezer, I appreciate you taking time to respond, and I bow to your deep knowledge, but there's nothing in your reply that tells me if there's a VM product that will work on my Apple M1 Pro machine. ![]()
