Hello,

We are currently developing a webOS TV application, and we have encountered an error while running VirtualBox according to the provided documents.

after some searching, we [found](https://forum.webostv.developer.lge.com/t/can-not-run-an-emulator/1076/7) that VirtualBox does not support silicon chips, and therefore the webOSTV emulator also does not support Apple silicon chips.  
However, we need to emulate webOS v3.0.0, which is the minimum support version of Chromium for several tests and API support.

Is there any other way to emulate version 3 on silicon chips?

Additionally, VirtualBox has released a [beta version for Apple’s silicon chips](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). Do you have any plans to support silicon chips after the release?

Apple silicon is currently not supported. If there are any updates, we will let you know via our website. Thank you.

Almost 3 years later and still no support?! No wonder nobody develops for your platform!

The webOS TV Emulator is deprecated. Please use the [webOS TV Simulator](https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/tools/simulator-installation). The simulator supports macOS ARM64. Thank you.
