Fusion Player 13 (M1): Install Ventura VM?

[DrFE]

Trying to install a Ventura VM under Ventura on M1. Fusion Player 13 shows the installer (see 1.pdf). After selecting it and proceeding to the next screen, "Choose Operating System," does not show OS X as an option (see 2.pdf). Same problem when selecting an iso image of the Ventura installer or the installer of an older OS X (Monterey).

What do I need to do (or get) to install a Ventura VM under Ventura on M1?

Fusion 13 does not support virtualization of macOS on M1/M2 Macs. The Fusion documentation states that a macOS virtual machine can run on Intel Macs. It does not say that macOS virtual machines can run on M1/M2 Macs. That's also why you will not find an operating system selection for macOS when creating a virtual machine on Fusion 13 on M1/M2 Macs.

Parallels (paid) or VirtualBuddy (open source, free at https://github.com/insidegui/VirtualBuddy, pre-built version available here: https://github.com/insidegui/VirtualBuddy/releases)  have approximately the same feature set to virtualize macOS on M1 Macs.

See The Unofficial Fusion 13 for Apple Silicon Companion for more information.
