Yes, I believe you are correct. My research has revealed the same. Your route is one way of dealing with the situation, but I would like to know if the overhead of running VMware Fusion negates the advantages of running the ARM version. I had thought to pursue that direction, but to use Boot Camp and run Sierra Chart on Boot Camp to achieve the best possible performance. Unfortunately, my enquiries reveal that Apple does not support Boot Camp on Apple Silicon processors. Boot Camp is only available on Intel-based Macs. So, virtualisation software such as Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion is the answer to run Windows 11 for ARM on M-series Macs. Windows 11 ARM edition runs in a virtual machine and can emulate many Intel apps, though with some limitations and overhead. All things considered, running Sierra Chart with CrossOver seems to be an excellent and simple solution, and I am honestly not noticing any performance problems whatsoever. The only possible negative I have noticed (and it may not have much—if any—impact) is that I see the following in the log a lot: 2025-04-26 04:41:26.478 | File compression not supported on file system... Windows error code 50: Request not supported. If this is having any impact on performance, I have no way to tell, but so far, I have not noticed anything. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-04-26 04:52:55
