I'm very upset that upgrading to an M1 macbook will mean losing about 5 parallels VM's running x86, old versions of windows and linux.

I used it to run old versions of 3d, graphics, and embedded engineering tools.

I'd pay $100 a year for a tool that provided good emulated guest drivers (3d,audio,network,mouse) for win 9x, XP, 7, Linux on an m1.

Which tool even provides good guest drivers for 3d on non-emulated 9x ?

Looks like someone was able to show games working well on an M1 mac build https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx/issues/23#issuecomment-9... and the project offers a $59.99 service to generate binaries. Might be the perfect answer for GP.
