Hi there, can anyone tell me if they have batocera working on a 2020 iMac with the above specs ?

i put it on a ssd to to run on the above machine but as soon as it gets to the splash screen on boot up, it just freezes and crashes :( In fact i have tried it multiple time s and it only managed to load fully once.

It is a problem with my iMac and compatibility etc or has anyone got this to work on a 2020 iMac etc

can anyone please help or advise also recommend any other devices that i could use if my iMac is the issue

Thanks

Jon

In general, Macs can only really run MacOS. Attempting to use other OSes, you run into issues like these.

Some people have had luck with booting other OSes on older Macs, such as ones from 2012 and such. From what I gather, the newer it is, the less likely it will work.
