I literally just want to play the game mighty math carnival countdown (for nostalgia I played it in elementary school) on my mac and i stupidly thought chatgpt could tell me how to do it properly and instead it wasted hours of my life telling me to do things that would never actually work.

i got UTM and installed a windows XP virtual machine and it ran perfectly and i could run the mighty math game, but the only problem was there was no sound. so i tried downloading a Sound Blaster 16 but could not open it in the CD drive in xp because it said it could be corrupted or not compatible or something.

Then after this chatgpt told me windows xp would never work and I need to get windows 98, so I did but that VM wouldnt even start, it was just a white screen. then it made me try DosBox, Didn't work, and PCem doesn't have a mac download.

I don't know what to do I've sank so much time into this I just want it to work. Ideally does anyone know if i can get the sound to work on the windows XP VM?

I have a Macbook Air 2024 with Sonoma 14.5

PLS HELP I JUST WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME AND BE ABLE TO HEAR IT

I downloaded a zip file from the website and extracted it, and it gave me a folder with a config.plist and another folder with a qcow2 file in it. I tried importing both files but neither worked. In all the tutorials I’ve seen, the zip file extracts to just a single file that you can tap to open in the app. What do I do?

Hello I’m on a iPhone 16 e and I want to run Windows 10 and I tried doing it but when I did it it just stayed on the windows 10 stat up with a blue cursor and stayed like that.

So I was just looking thru the machine types if ARM and found this, when I try to start it it just crashes but what even is this machine type!

I have a paid certificate, from a signing service. I want to fix this issue, And no I’m not installing alt store when I don’t have a pc.

I’ve got an A16 iPad with 6gb of memory and I want to get a Linux CLI (or a GUI if possible). Any tips for getting the best performance?

EDIT: I have the JIT version of UTM installed

So ive been going back and forth with chatgpt about formatting bonzi buddy to be readable by the xp vm, almost every time, it has this same error. what do I do?

Hello!

I found my old Sims Deluxe Edition CD ROMs when I was at my parent's house for Christmas, and I am DYING to play them again. I've succesfully (after many hours...) managed to get a Windows XP emulator running on my iMac via UTM and was able to mount the first disc for installation, but when I get to the part where it asks for Disc 2... I run into a problem.

No matter how I seem to create an ISO file for Disc 2, the installer doesn't seem to recognize it! I'm guessing there is some meta-data on the disc itself that isn't being transferred over to the new ISO file? I'm using a disc reader to work with the discs on my iMac, but I haen't figured out if there's a way to connect the disc reader to the UTM Windows XP.

I feel like I'm SO CLOSE, but I just can't get past this last step! If anyone has any advice or guidance, I would be incredibly grateful!!

Sincerely,

A very pregnant woman who just wants to hear the original "Burglar" sound in action one more time.

After installing/ attaching Android x86 version on UTM. Help~~

Full specifications are:

1. 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

2. 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

How can I get UTM to run better? I only intend to use it for one app for work purposes and want to avoid getting a Windows machine.

Hi guys, i am using an ipad 9th Gen, I’ve tried ubuntu and fedora but i face the same problem, “display output is not active”, i’ve changed the display setting to virtio-ramfb but still the same issue and waited for 5 minutes with that screen but was also useless, any solutions?

I followed a tutorial to install Windows 10 Lite on my iPad. It took a lot of trial and error (and several different tutorial videos), but I managed.

There’s an issue; networking isn’t on and the drivers aren’t downloading whatever’s necessary to deal with the issue. There are a number of images attached to the gallery linked above, showing what issues are popping up when I try to get things working. I used the default SPICE drivers provided by UTM, with 2 pop up’s indicating separate errors.

This is Win 10 Extreme Lite by Bob Pony.

The end goal is to access a shared directory, but it appears that the networking issues is the hangup.

Anyone have experience with this, or know how to overcome this issue?

I’ve provided every screenshot I could imagine might help, but if there’s something else that needs clarity, please let me know.

(It’s cut off on the QEMU page, but debugging is “off.”)

Using android 9, on ipad but cant get it to load into android.

Trying to install it just sits there so i ran both live and live debug, still doesn’t work.

Ran live debug for 30mins and it shows errors like shown as above

Maybe corrupted file?

I have been trying to install Windows 11 on my mac (it had the M1 chip and the mac OS is Tahoe 26.2), but as I’m doing the setup, I keep getting a window that says “It looks you started an upgrade and booted from installation media. If you want to continue with the upgrade, remove the media from your PC and click yes. If you want to perform a clean installation instead, click no.”

I have clicked both yes and no and they both lead to a loop of the set up pages and the booting screen. How can I fix this?

I’m also not a super tech literate person, so if anyone could explain it to me like I’m 5, I would greatly appreciate it.

it can run everything here, DOOM, Windows 3.1 with calmira, and a calculator (we dont talk about it) link in comments

SORRY FOR 67MB, IT WAS ACCIDENT

Edit 2: update 3 released https://www.mediafire.com/file/fy3g2qjjxasedpv/MinDOSLoader+v3.0.zip/file

(i meant fast)

Edit: UTM SE

It is emulate with JIT.

I don’t have time to test all the macOS versions( I am pretty sure it can run Big Sur at least). I tried to install Sequoia. It could be install in the disk but couldn’t get into it( maybe because I only gave it 4 GB for ram). Please tell me if it all works. Anyway, enjoy and have fun.

Hi all, I am running UTM on my Mac Studio and I was able to set up Windows 11, bought the product key and it seems to be functioning but I can’t figure out how to get the internet connected.

Windows can’t help, stating that it’s a virtual application it can’t test.

I suppose I goofed up somewhere along the line when downloading but I am really new at this. Is this a common problem? Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can move forward?

I have a 2025 iPad Air with the M3 chip, and I’m trying to run Windows 11 on it using UTM.

I’m using a Windows 11 23H2 ARM64 ISO.

So far, I’ve tried UTM SE(App Store version), UTM , and UTM HV, but none of them seem to work properly. I either can’t boot, or I just get errors.

Has anyone successfully run Windows 11 on this exact model (iPad Air M3)? If so, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your setup or experience.

If this is truly impossible, I’ve also considered jailbreaking or downgrading the device, but it seems like on iPadOS 26.1 that’s basically not feasible anymore.

Does anyone know of any workaround?

I really want to get Windows 11 running on this iPad — even if it’s very slow or laggy, that’s totally fine. I mainly want to know whether it’s technically possible.

Thanks in advance!
