Getting the full array of programs working on MacOs, anyone ?

Is there a way that you discovered making it possible to use all of the programs provided here on MacOs ? 

It would be super nice if anybody had tested that through and found a way to also use non MacOs versions on a Mac with success... 

 

All the best !

I seem to remember some OS X users reporting that they had managed to get one or more of my Windows applications running within Parallels. But this was years ago, even before I had released any OS X editions, so my memory may be at fault.

I must admit I have never tested whether my Windows applications actually work from a Windows Virtual Machine on an Intel Mac, let alone on a modern ARM Mac. Obviously MIDI communication is the area that could cause failure.

In any case, besides Parallels there are other VM managers available for macOS too. E.g. VirtualBox might be worth a shot (for one thing because it's free).
Could things work under one VM manager but not under another? I have no idea.
