My M1 mac runs X86 code faster than my I5 did.

Hi,

Can you detail how you got it to run under Crossover. New to the app. I am unable to get past the main screen which is distorted and frozen. I get a message that Crossover (WINE) detects Windows Auto taskbar hide and to disable it. The WINE settings appear to give no such option. I have tried multiple Windows OS versions.

disappointing. Of course the game works fine when running Win10 off of Parallels off MacOS but it would be nice to have an option that dispenses with OS emulation or dual booting.

I am running a new M1 CPU MacBook Pro.

Thx

update.


still no joy...windows 11 and Mac M1. I installed the ARM windows 11 and it runs nicely in Parallels. however trying to run WinSPMBT, in any mode, (windowed/full screen.....intro/no intro....Direct X/GDI) gives the same distorted graphics.

I will continue to mess around with it.

ok....sorry to clutter with responses. but after playing around, success

with the purchased install....I selected 800 x 600 within a Parallels VM running on a Mac M1. (windowed)

Got it to work. the window is a bit small. Haven't messed around with it much yet, but the game is playable using a MacBook with the M1 under those settings, and if your willing to spend for a subscription with Parallels. (figure it should work with free VM software too with similar settings. VirtualBox is worth a try)

anyway. good times. Can get my SP fix when mobile and on the Mac.
