PortJump is Codeweavers porting technology that (their programmers utilize) enables you to bring your Windows software to macOS as a native code signed app (Subscribed Apple Developers use code signing via Xcode or similar so that macOS's gate keeper a.k.a. Privacy & Security settings will allow Apps downloaded from the MAS and known devs across the net to run legitimately).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.
