ARC is primarily designed for Windows operating systems. However, you can run ARC on a Mac using virtualization software like Parallels Desktop or Boot Camp to create a Windows environment.

For your M3 Pro MacBook, you can use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on your Mac. This setup should allow you to run ARC as you did on your Intel-based MacBook. Keep in mind that performance may vary depending on the virtualization software and the resources allocated to the Windows environment.

If you have any specific questions about setting up ARC on your MacBook or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

ARC/Synthim is mainly a Windows-only product. However, if you're using a Mac, you can still run it effectively using virtualization tools like Parallels or BootCamp.

Before diving in, I'd recommend planning out your robot project thoroughly and researching the best parts to meet your goals. For example:

ESP32: This is a great little wireless board that's awesome for quick prototyping and remote control. It can easily be turned into an EZB-like setup. Arduino Boards (Nano, Uno, Mega): These are excellent for direct PC connections. If you choose this route, pairing them with an onboard mini PC can enhance your setup. ARC is well-optimized and can run on systems with just 2-4 GB of RAM, so it should work well even on modest hardware.If you opt for this route, pairing them with an onboard mini PC can significantly enhance their functionality. Definitely check out the Getting Started guide for ARC/Synthim. It provides a lot of useful information and will point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your robotics project!

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.  I have used ARC previously with my Robotis equipment but have not done anything since 2020 and wanted to get back into things.  I thought I had seen a note that ARC struggled with the Apple chips in Parallels, hence my question.  Thanks again!
