Emulate a M1 chip VM on an intel based Mac
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..
