This situation happened to me too. I just downgraded my mac from tahoe to 
sequoia. I didn’t have the strength for all the incompatibility issues

Dear Amir

To get CCP4i1 and old-coot to work on a Mac with Apple chip (M4 Max) running 
Tahoe 26.2 I had to install a Linux virtual machine with Rosetta and Apple 
Virtualization. I went with ubuntu-25-10-desktop-arm64.iso using UTM. Gemini 
was a big help as I had to play around with various things/settings.

Hope this helps.

With best wishes
Roberto

Hi


I’m running 9.0.005 on a Mac M5 chip with Tahoe 26.2


The software interface opens OK but everything is black… any advice on the 
problem here?


Thanks!


Amir
