Dude Client 64 bits

Thu Dec 22, 2022 1:35 am

I am, or correction was a happy DUDE user.

I recently moved my primary workstation from Windows Server (x64 obviously) to macOS (ARM , M2 architecture).

So macOS does not allow 32 bit programs to run and whilst I can run (and do run) Wine Windows emulation, this only supports running of 64 bit Windows apps.

The Dude client it seems remains 32 bit , so trying to run that just fails.
(Actually since the installer does not run, I installed to my Windows Server, zip the files from the Installation x86 directory and copy to macOS. Running the .exe then starts Wine but nothing happens at all)

So my analysis is until there is a 64 bit Windows client of the Dude then I am basically screwed.

Is this the correct analysis? In other words is there any way to run the dude client i.e. 7.6 client on macOS for ARM (I am on Ventura 13.1 by the way)

As you have now changed to a 64 bit ARM PoppyOS, so they need to make a Windows ARM64bit version just for you?

Long gotten used to using VMWare Fusion+Windows10 for The Dude on the Mac. But [Windows] x64 dude.exe would be welcomed here too. Winbox has worked for years just fine, but Mac's long ago abandoned anything 32-bits.

On my M1 with Ventura 13.1 I have the following setup
1. UTM - Emulate x86 to run CHR
2. CrossOver® Mac - A way to support wine development (between, I found now a direct donation page)

Just did an upgrade to the latest stable version 7.6 and all seems to work fine.

Not clear how to show just simple preview and tried to resize images before attach.
