Virtualization & Emulation

*** Please note: This meeting will be both in-person and online. ***

You’ve probably heard of Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox. These apps allow you to run an entire operating system like Windows and Linux inside your Mac. You can even install another copy of your current macOS, a beta version, or even an older version.

With apps like CrossOver, you can install a single Windows application on your Mac without having to boot up Windows.

There are also more obscure things you run in emulation like classic Mac OS, DOS games, and console games like the Nintendo.

Join us to discover all the different things you can virtualize and emulate on your Mac!

DATE

Tuesday, June 20

TIME

6:00 – 8:00 PM

IN-PERSON
