If anyone have put it to run on a M1 Mac somehow without having to hire another cloud service, please holla at me, I appreciate your help. I just have already too much cloud renting going on from tracklib to splice, uad plugins, dropbox and the list goes and I don't even spend that much time on my own studio as I'm always on tour or working on another studios and the 4k isn't even my main machine yet. I work mostly on maschine and push hooked up to some old school samplers.

ok...

1) click here : https://mac.getutm.app/
2) on the opened page locate the letters DOWNLOAD , it's a button centered in that page, on the top of it, click that
3) you get a spurious file called UTM.dmg, open it, and drag the UTM app on your application folder
4) launch it, click create new VM (virtual machine, no cloud involved)
5) you want to select "EMULATE" as apple silicon chips are arm64 based, and you wanna run windows xp which only support X86 or X86_64 (if 64 bits) chips. so no virtualisation, but emulation. 32 bits would be just fine.
6) unselect windows 10 +, unselect boot uefi
7) you need a windows xp iso (retail, vl, pro whatever) get a legit one from MSDN or from microsoft (sp 3 probably), take the 32 bit, again it's just fine
8) you want to emulate i386 (aka x86) or x86_64, 1 core, 1gb of ram, 64gb of drive, standard pc (select the 1996 version)
8 - bis) you can also simply get a pre made template for it : https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/windows-xp ;-), you need various settings to make it like a 2000 era pc, double click it with UTM app being open
9) click play , launch the vm
10) follow windows installation process

enjoy.

You're literally talking about QEMU and hypervisors when the genius you're responding to can't mentally wrap their mind around something as simple as a search engine, or thinks that they need to "hire a cloud service" to open a hard drive image in a virtualization platform.

You're not wrong for trying but we're talking about people that still have to move their lips to read a text message.

I can understand all that, but I'm a musician, sucker, I pay my bills with my own music, I don't even produce for nobody else, I even hire producers because I don't have the time to entirely produce my own music. But I love it, and I'm here so I can share something and get help when people are not assh*** suckers like you. You think everybody got all the time you got because you a looser. I've been a successful artist for 20 years. Leave your mama's house and go get a life, muthaf*.

I was just about to thank you for the help but you just another lifeless forum nerd typing from your mama's house getting peer pressured by a looser. Shit, I'm outta here.

You really need to do the right thing and start off by apologizing to me and everyone else that read your post.

I know this may be hard for you to comprehend but I refuse to forgive you for stupidity. You have access to the internet and seem to understand enough to sign on to an internet forum, type a name and a password. So clearly your brain functions to some degree.

What I find astounding and fascinating at the same time is that you, like everyone else - have access to the internet yet this has not afforded you enough intelligence to use a search engine to grasp the basics of anything that you're on a forum that you're writing about.

Really man, what the hell does "hire a cloud service" have to do with using akai.sys on a newer computer in 2024?

I believe you when you say you do not produce for anyone -- I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to watch you fumble around with the most basic of tasks. Maybe you'll surprise the world in the future and invent a cure to your ineptitude.

By your logic, You'd call Costco when you have an issue with your computer because "they sell computers, they the experts nah mean"

Other than that, I love you and I'll light a candle and pray for your well being.

Taking 6 months to come up with such a poor response has earned you late fees.

Send me your paypal as I need to invoice you for your transgression.

Loser is spelled with one o, not two asswipe.

I love you.

Just so you know, I'm not bi but I think you are brave to admit this on an internet forum about MPCs.

I think I found the country that you went in the top 10 in, so congratulations with that, I love you!
