I love the look of this software, but I unfortunately don't have a windows pc. Any chance you guys are working on a mac version? I'd love to support this project!!!

It seems that some users are using Lovely Composer through emulation on Mac and Linux. (Probably like Wine)

Even the M1 Mac seems to work, so it might be worth trying on your own computer with a free trial version! If the trial version works, the official version will work in most cases. (We don't support officially & don't know the details)

We want to officially support Mac in the future, but We don't have a new Mac so far. (Although there is an old Intel Macbook from 2009 ...)

fwiw, it doesn't start on an m1 mac on win11 in parallels. the config app starts, but not the main application. i know these apps are x86, but there's a built-in emulator in windows now, iiuc. any ideas how to run this on m1 macs? i've also asked the author of the first post on twitter

 I didn't know that M1 Parallels was complete. You may also want to look into emulations that don't use Parallels.

There were emulators that could run Windows apps directly, such as Wine on Linux and Miku Installer on Intel Macs.

There may be something similar on M1, but I have no knowledge about M1.

Note: We're talking about emulation here, but we don't officially support it. It's not just about Windows on Parallels, but also about Arm Windows own x86 emulation, etc. 

yeah, i understand. no worries, i was just asking in case you know of something that works, or if you want to make it run on m1. thx!

My 2019 Mac (Big Sur 11.5)  runs well through Crossover, much easier then Paralells. :D

One of the users (p_craft) wrote how he got Lovely Composer running on an M1 Mac! 

The article is in Japanese, but I think it will be helpful if you use the automatic translation of the web browser.

Run LovelyComposer on M1 Mac  https://pentagonal-potential-7b1.notion.site/M1-Mac-LovelyComposer-44c6253696364...

We heard Lovely Composer could run on M1 Mac with windows10 on Parallels.

Also We heard Lovely Composer could run on M1 Mac with windows11 on Parallels 1.1.4 (The latest version on January 10, 2022 did not work).

We plan to natively support multiple operating systems in the not too distant future, but not so close.
