This should not be news to anybody who read anything on our web page or this forum in the last years: Psychtoolbox is not usable yet for research grade stimulation and data collection on Apple Silicon Macs, neither is any other toolkit. I expect to release a usable native version 3.0.20 before Christmas. It will cost money for a yearly license, like all future versions for macOS and Windows. So now would be a good time to allocate some money to buy a license before christmas. > [@Using toolbox on macOS for Apple Silicon Macs?](https://psychtoolbox.discourse.group/t/using-toolbox-on-macos-for-apple-silicon-macs/3599/34): > > Once we have the whole “pay-to-play” license model in place, ie. a new online shop, infrastructure, license checking in PTB etc. I can release a first iteration. So the question is mostly how long it will take us to implement the new license model. The current code works reasonably well, at least as good as what you can use now with Octave/Matlab for Intel under Rosetta2 emulation, just with native Octave for ARM or native Matlab R2023b+ for ARM, with no obvious problems. So it should be quite… --- _[View the full topic](https://psychtoolbox.discourse.group/t/error-running-psychophysics-experiment-code/5547)._
