Hi HPtuners guys,
Do you have any plans on releasing the VCM Suite for Windows 11 for the ARM architecture? I ask because my laptop is a Mac with the M1 chip, which is an ARM-derivative, and I use Windows 11 for ARM on my laptop in a virtual machine. I've been doing this for years with my older Intel-based MacBook Pro and Windows 10, and the VCM Suite runs perfectly. Always has. The VCM Suite also works great under Windows 11 for x86 on my old laptop in a virtual machine; Windows 11 compatibility doesn't seem to have any issue so far. I'd like, at some point, to be able to retire the 6-year old laptop with the worn battery and go full-time with the new laptop, but that would require some ARM support so it could run on my M1 Mac.
My understanding is that the "for ARM" version of Windows 11 can automatically translate Intel x86 apps, like VCM Editor and VCM Scanner, automatically with no required input on the part of the developer; however the USB device driver for the MPVI2 would need to be recompiled. It's literally a 3-click operation, but would have to be done. No rewriting necessary for the driver, as far as Microsoft claims. I know my situation is a bit different from most, but if HPtuners could make the device driver compatible for Windows 11 on ARM, then the rest of the suite should work without modification.
Thoughts? Plans? Ideas?
Thanks, guys.
