LOL this is how I work on OrBit ;-)

Can just verify for anybody wondering that Orbit will not start on a Macbook M1 with Parallels. Gave it a try for science.

Not working at all or at least orbit can scan car profile?

No, the app does not start at all on M1/M2 MacBooks with Parallels or VMWare Fusion either. I bought a cheapish manufacturer refurbished Lenovo laptop on eBay for this and other Windows only things since I didn’t trust my Dell XPS from 2012 anymore. Came with free 2 year warranty, also having a touchscreen and Window’s version of Face ID makes my 2022 MacBook seem dated.

I guess I have some good news. I did manage to run OrBit on my M1 MacBook using UTM emulation. I haven't tested it with a cable yet, but it should work since I see the LAN adapter in the driver list. However, I need to warn you that it is pretty slow, as the processor is being emulated...
RE: OrBit MacBook - x119 - 03-09-2024
Do so at your own risk. For the sake of $50 I'd be running it natively on Windows as designed...
RE: OrBit MacBook - vcorusa - 03-11-2024
Just tested it with a cable, and it works fine. If someone is interested, below is a screenshot of my UTM config. I used Windows 10 x64 for emulation.

Thanks for this! It is indeed rather slow on my M2, but honestly about the speed I remember Windows installs taking in the early 2000s anyway ha ha.

I’m still in the “buy a cheap windows laptop and leave it in the car with the cable” camp.
They’re cheap now. I saw a video recently where a streamer who uses Mac exclusively has a windows laptop that lives on the floor under his desk for the sole purpose of running the color changing lights on his microphone.
