ChicagoEyeTVguy2 0 Report post Posted January 24 Highest MacOS that supports EyeTV3 I want to upgrade but I'm not willing to leave my EyeTVs behind. I understand EyeTV4 is a disaster.... My 2012 Mac Mini will support up to 10.15 Catalina. It's currently running Sierra. Am I correct that Catalina is the first OS that will not run EyeTV3? In my search I see barely any mention of Big Sur, but seems like the logical choice? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eaglerock 5 Report post Posted March 9 macOS 10.14/Mojave can be installed as a virtualized OS on newer macOSes using middleware such as Parallels (annual subscription), VMWare Fusion (free personal license available) or Oracle's VM VirtualBox (Open Source - free). I haven't tried setting up a 64-bit macOS + virtual machine + macOS Mojave environment + EyeTV 3.6.9 combination yet due to lack of boot drive space, but it sounds like an area worth exploring.

In addition to installing 10.14/Mojave as a virtual OS, you can install macOS 10.6/Snow Leopard Server, and all client macOSes since 10.7/Lion. I discovered this almost fifteen years ago, when setting up a Wintel laptop with VirtualBox: I discovered that 10.6 Server was an installation option in VirtualBox's VM setup pulldown menu. I tried to install 10.6 on the Wintel machine several times without success; it worked when I installed the middleware on a Mac, and then attempted to install 10.6 using VirtualBox's VM install system. Apparently, the VirtualBox user interface is the same on all platforms, which makes sense for an Open Source application. I haven't tried this same stunt with Parallels or VMWare Fusion, but I'm guessing it will work the same way. Odds are, the user interface on the commercial applications includes OSX options when the base operating system is macOS (or the hardware is Apple hardware; there has to be some sort of platform sniffing when the middleware is installed), but the Windows/Linux versions leave macOS VM options out.
