Basta under Windows 11 / Parallels, Apple Silicone

[duck552]

Anyone had success running Basta on apple silicone in a Parallels / Windows 11 session? I cannot get it to run.

I just gave it a shot for kicks and am getting an error ('NAN' is not a valid floating point value) when trying to run the executable. Is this what you're getting as well?

I thought compatibility mode would have been your issue, but it's not working for me under any mode, nor with tweaking x86 emulation settings. It works for me on old Win7 & 10 PCs, but I don't have a Win11 PC to test though.

I usually run into problems with hardware because of the drivers whereas software typically runs fine (at least what little I've tried) in Mac silicone + Parallels + Win11. I'm not certain what's going on here.

Yes! Exact same error.

In Win 11 it was not possible to run Basta until I used this workaround.
In your file manager Right click on Basta.exe > click Property > select the Compatibility tab, then select Win 7 and check the control box Run as administrator.

Dang! That was a good thought. Tried it but no go. I think it won't work at all with M series macs

UTM with Windows on Arm has the same issue. My guess it’s an incompatibility with Windows on ARM and Basta. This has nothing to do with Apple Mx CPUs.

Btw, “Apple Silicone”, nice one
