Hi..
Is it possible to emulate a M1 chip VM (Virtual hardware as a Mac with M1 Apple silicon), using VMware Fusion Pro 12 installed on an intel powered Mac (like a MacBook Pro 13" 2019 model, x86-64).
Regards.
No.
First, Fusion virtualizes CPU's it doesn't emulate them. Second, if that ever changes, there is essentially no market for emulating M1's on Intel - I doubt that we'll ever see it in that direction.
May see it with QEMU. But yes, Apple moving to a new hardware platform has a serious ripple effect. IMHO Apple's control is a 2 edge sword.
Ok, sure..
Just wanted to test things for M1 chip Macs, & don't have any. So thought if they have something like that (like reverse Rosetta), then it would be very useful for admins to test in this transition..
That's what the mac mini is for 🙂
