Proscan working on Mac Big Sur with Wineskin and Winetricks

[hagensieker]

Somehow or another I got Proscan working on Mac Big Sur with WineSkin.

Roughly it goes like this:

Install a 32 bit engine.

Before installing proscan go to Winetricks and run a custom command of (winetricks is already filled in) winetricks dotnet45

Take a 10 minute break.

Install Proscan

It ain't the fastest thing in the world and I'm seeing a little lag but when connected as a client to ROIP the audio is the same as any other computer I run as an ROIP client. Fan on my laptop is spinning like a big dog though

Depending on what tab you select across the bottom the display might get a little wonky. But it works as a Client like its cool.

Note the wrapper and engine numbers I used in this screenshot.
Wineskin 2.9.0.7-rc1 and Engine WS11WineCX19.0.2

It also works (very well at that!) with running Windows within Parallels on my Macs in Big Sur on Intel chips.

I am interested in seeing how people can get Windows applications like this to work in Apple Silicon Macs. I understand some people have gotten Windows for ARM working but AFAIK most of these are compiled for x86 and not RT/ARM.

Bob: Will @ProScan work in Windows RT on ARM machines?

Windows on ARM will have a feature update to the x32 emulation already there to include an emulator for x64. In our testing on Surface devices (it's still very raw) it's not like native, but for many apps works just fine. It's going be up to MS to support Apple Si devices, which seems unlikely.

Same here. Running two instances of Proscan under Parallels.
