yeah, im thinking that too, more likely a virtualisation problem than because its a mac, though the new m1 macs are a pain for x86 emulation, too. im not a mac expert but maybe running windows on it directly would help too. i have used a macbook pro for a lot of tuning stuff but I used bootcamp and ran win 10 on it native for that.

I can’t use boot camp with my iOS version im pretty sure, there was a reason it didn’t work. I have the intel processor. But gets me is why does dps program fine, but the techline does not

I used my old MBP with Windows VM's and dual boot until about a year ago and never had any issues. It only got replaced cos it died after 12+ years of proper battering and they are ridiculously priced compared to back then, plus USB-C only etc.
I dont have a Mongoose but Im fairly confident that's not your issue, its a Techline error.

Mmm yeah ok, wish I knew how to fix it pain dragging my desktop to the vehicle lol!

I have successfully used gds2 with the MacBook though and dps works.

Is there a driver I could swap from dps to techline?

From anecdotal evidence ive heard techline sps is a buggy piece of crap and some older installs have come out broken and needed manual fixes to get it going again. I think its possible if not likely that you just got unlucky and installed it on the wrong day and now you have a broken install. I reckon if you uninstall it, or even reinstall your vm environment and try again it might just start working. I still dont think its a mac problem.

It's definitely not a Mac problem.
Make a new VM and start again.
