Compatibility Issue on ARM-Based Mac with NS-USBLoader

[migilion]

Describe the bug (mandatory) I'm encountering compatibility issues while running NS-USBLoader on my ARM-based Mac with an Apple M2 Max processor. The application seems to encounter errors related to architecture-specific libraries and JavaFX components when attempting to launch.

Information about environment (mandatory): OS: macOS with Apple M2 Max processor Java version: "21.0.1" 2023-10-17 LTS

Steps to reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to run NS-USBLoader on an ARM-based Mac.
2. Encounter errors related to architecture-specific libraries and JavaFX components.

Expected behavior The application should run without encountering errors related to architecture-specific dependencies.

Screenshots and/or information from application log information from application log: Error: Loading 'prism_es2' library failed due to incompatible architecture: 'x86_64' needed, but 'arm64' encountered. JavaFX components encountering architecture-specific issues.

Did you see this issue in previous versions? No, this is the first version I've tried on an ARM-based Mac.

Additional context I've tried the ARM64 version of NS-USBLoader but continue to face errors related to architecture-specific libraries. I've also updated my Java version to the latest compatible with ARM64 architecture, yet the issue persists. Any guidance or an updated version specifically optimized for ARM-based systems would be greatly appreciated.

Use either JDK for arm architecture or regular ns-usbloader compiled for x86 (has no m1 postfix).

Check what JDK you use by executing java -version in terminal.

There are also pinned issue in github with discussion around best choice for apple silicon. If I recall correctly Azul is a good choice in your case.

regular ns-usbloader worked with Azul. Thank you!
