Hi all, is there an old version of Roon that can be used on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6?
I have an old MacBook that only supports up to that OS version…
Thanks.

Look at faq-what-are-the-minimum-requirements to find out there isn’t.

Edit:
You could of course install version 1.8 legacy, but you’d miss out on all development since then and it might eventually be discontinued.

Alternativly, you can, in some instances, install newer versions of macOS on old kit using OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Open Core Legacy Patcher is a great tool. I use it to run Ventura on an old Macbook Air that I use as a Bluebubbles server. I suggest when setting it up keeping the USB drive with the macOS installer and patched EFI and set it aside to use for recovery just in case something goes wrong.

Also depending on the age of the hardware I would go with the oldest OS that will work, the older the hardware the slower things will get with newer versions. My 2015 Macbook Air is unbearable with Sonoma and passable with Ventrua. I’m only using it to send and receive iMessages on Android so it doesn’t need to perform well for me.
