Installation

M Series MacOS

In June 2023 I rebuilt all of my earlier macretro Championship Manager 01/02 games, ready to play using Crossover on MacOS with M1/M2 ARM based chips, given that I still cannot get Playonmac to work properly on this architecture.

In August 2023 I filmed a new approach using a Windows XP virtual machine in UTM, because the software is no cost/lo cost and I had heard that Direct X was not working in Crossover on some M2 series machines.
