Recovering old images in mac

AZ

Hi Everyone,
I have some old images (around 2017) that I would like to load.
Pharo Launcher downloaded a VM but while trying to launch it
complains with the following message.

Error: Error: posix_spawn(), code: 86, description: Bad CPU type in
executable

Which is the same message I get when trying to use the VM I found in a
backup of that time.

Is there a way of opening such an old image in MacOs Monterrey (running on
top of the same machine this image was originally built)? If I am not
mistaken it is Pharo 6.

Best regards
Arturo

I had a similar issue since you can no longer run 32bit application on MacOS.

So, easiest solution is to run a Linux VM and open it there.

You may also be able to open an older image on: http://try.squeak.org/ http://try.squeak.org/

Though that server doesn’t seem to be online at the moment.

Best of luck.

Cheers,

J

Is there a way to save / convert such an image to 64 Bit?

Carolina use to be able to do this during her PhD.
Always assumed it was with Espell, but I have never tried.

Insead of loading an image, try dropping the .change file on an another running image.
This will open the change browser that allow explore/load the code.
