Hi Guys, I want to use my old Pharo 8 image on an Apple Silicon (ARM64). I downloaded the stable VM for apple silicon http://files.pharo.org/get-files/110/pharo-vm-Darwin- <http://files.pharo.org/get-files/110/pharo-vm-Darwin-arm64-stable.zip>arm64 <http://files.pharo.org/get-files/110/pharo-vm-Darwin-arm64-stable.zip>-stable.zip <http://files.pharo.org/get-files/110/pharo-vm-Darwin-arm64-stable.zip> but it isn't working with my pharo8 image.
My old VM is working, of course, but I suppose it's because of Rosetta... and the performance is not optimal.
Any other solution?
I do not think that we have a solution. Iâm sorry but we decided that we cannot garantee that old Pharo version can run on Apple Silicon just because of engineering effort. With Pharo we are always trying not to trade the past for the future but this is difficult. S.
