Recording the process of running Anlogic Tang Dynasty (TD) on Apple Silicon through UTM.

1. Preparation

Before starting, make sure you have already installed UTM and installed a debian with Rosetta support referencing this guide.

After following the guide, you should have Rosetta support in your UTM Debian VM, which can be verified by:

debian@debian-sid:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/rosetta
enabled
interpreter /media/rosetta/rosetta
flags: POCF
offset 0
magic 7f454c4602010100000000000000000002003e00
mask fffffffffffefe00fffffffffffffffffeffffff

2. Install Anlogic TD

You should download the Anlogic TD from https://www.anlogic.com/ to your VM, and unzip it.

When you try to run the bin/td.sh script, you should get errors.

Now, let’s install the dependencies:

sudo apt install libc6:amd64 libgtk2.0-0:amd64 \
    libsm6:amd64 libxcb-glx0:amd64 \
    libx11-xcb1:amd64 libgl1:amd64

3. Run Anlogic TD

Now, you can run the td.sh script and it should work.

debian@debian-sid:~/Tools/TD_5.6.5_SP3_151449_NL$ ./bin/td.sh
