Howdy,
What is the best way currently to virtualize Haiku under MacOS? I have a M3.
Thanks!
UTM which uses QEMU as the backend but I have found using the QEMU from command line more customizable. If you search you can find some samples that you can start.

Using UTM has worked best in my opinion!

Its a bit quirky, but I got it up and running!
I prob need to tweak the underlying VM settings. Ive had random KDLs and the mouse is weird sometimes.
Here is my UTM qemu export. Any recommended changes?
