Run old 32-Bit image on 64-Bit macOS
Hi, I am looking for a way to run an old 32-Bit image on a modern Mac (Montery). Pharo launcher gives me the following error: Cannot run Prism Grammar (Pharo 6.1)! This image requires a 32-Bit VM to run and 32-Bit applications are not supported on this Operating System. Is there a way to run it nevertheless? I want to extract some old app/code from the image for further use. Best, Steffen
Hello, I'm sorry, you can't :( macOS transitioned to 64bit without backwards compatibility so is not possible to read a 32bit images there right now. The easiest solution is to run your image in a linux 32bit virtual machine and recover your code there. Esteban ps: Yes, other solutions are possible, but this is the easiest.

I had a similar issue and ended up installing an ubuntu VM under VMWare Fusion and running older versions of Pharo there.

Didn't someone mention that you can run old images using squeakjs in a web browser? Maybe I misunderstood that, but it seemed like a neat way to do it. On Wed, 2 Feb 2022, at 9:21 PM, Jupiter Jones wrote:
