Be grudgingly I've submitted a support ticket for Poser macOS stating in short that: There's a way to continue support on macOS without interrupting their Windows development team, here via https://www.codeweavers.com/portjump whom appear to be very competent and capable.  I asked that they seriously reconsider their decision to trash future Poser macOS support given the fact that Apple has announced major expansion in the up coming years.

We've investigated solutions like Codeweavers. It works about as well as you'd expect. As in not at all. This is what Poser13 looks like in a Codeweaver "bottle" on an M1. Most emulators do a much better job than that.

And, Apple "development" scares me even more. Every OS update has been a new disaster for years now. Apple actually crippling OpenGL support in OS15.1 is, for us, the last straw.
Another example, With OS15 Apple has made it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to install Poser 11 or 12. In the past you could just bypass Apple's blessing screen with one click. No more. "For you safety" you can't install software that you own on their computer. If you are on Poser 12 make sure you have that apps folder backed up because you can never, ever install it again. That isn't security. That isn't safety. It's just wrong.
