Has anyone used OCLP on older Macs ?
It should work with Macmini3,1
I'm looking for infos on such an endeavour

Thanks

Without knowing what you are attempting to accomplish, the question cannot be answered other than, yes, it can work.

DP 7.x, for example cannot run in a 64 bit MacOS (Catalina or higher) nor can it run on an APFS formatted drive (High Sierra or higher if SSD; High Sierra 10.13.6 or higher if HDD). There is no workaround for either situation.

I forget if the DP 9.52 cutoff is Big Sur or Monterey.

That said, one of my guys has DP 11.22 running on a 2014 Mini over Ventura with only 4GB soldered RAM. I upgraded the drive to a SATA III SSD a couple years ago. He can't run very many tracks but it does work.

I have DP 11.23 running on my 2012 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM over Catalina. I don't have many plugs or VIs installed on it and use it for testing, these days. Right now I'm trying to resolve an IK Multimedia problem by proving to them that certain problems are common to both it and my Studio over Ventura while others are Ventura only. Grrrr....

Thanks Mike
I wouldn't probably test higher than BigSure, and would need to install 8 GB Ram anyways...
DP 9.52 ...

I don’t remember if your Mini has upgradable RAM. If so, max it out. That’s your best protection from memory leaks along with daily rebooting.
