Running PioSolver on a Mac

Running PioSolver on a Mac

Hopefully this is an OK forum for this question.
I have a macbook with an M2 chip and want to run PioSolver. Has anyone successfully done this using Wine or VirtualBox? If so, could you offer some tips on your setup? If using VirtualBox, how much RAM and storage space did you allocate to the VM? What version of windows are you using?

I'm trying to avoid having to use bootcamp (EDIT: ugh, just learned that M2 chips don't support bootcamp) and totally switch OS's whenver I want to use Pio. I was very saddened to learn it can't run on MacOS natively

Thanks for any help!!

In case anyone else comes across this with a similar problem, here's what I've found.

It seems you have to use Parallels to effectively run a windows VM on Macs with M1/M2/M3 chips. It costs 10$/month, unfortunatly, but this is still better than GTOWizard's 200/month for custom solving features.

Thanks!
