Mac Monterey Engine DJ issue

I’ll try and keep this as easy as possible.

I have a MacBook pro early 2011 that was running High Sierra. And was running an old version of Engine PRIME 1.x

I bought a new 1TB SSD to add to my Sc5000Ms running 4.1 . I went to my MacBook to analyze a bunch of new tracks for the new drive, plugged the drive into my Sc5000M and got an error that said I need to use Prime/DJ 3.4 or higher…

Ok… I’ll figure this out …

Used Legacy Patcher to put Monterey on since it’s compatible… Clean install.

Now when I open any newer version of Engine DJ I immediately get “Engine DJ quit unexpectedly” " click to reopen the application" blah blah blah…

What gives?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

24 hours of working on upgrading everything and I cannot analyze anything and tracks on my new SSD are just raw unanalyzed files … So frustrating.

Have you read all the release notes for what is compatible with what?

Using a 3rd party app to boot unsupported OS on your computer always comes with risks of apps not working.

This isn’t the first similar post about this, and it seems the only real solution is to upgrade to a newer computer, 13yrs is quite a long life cycle in PC world.

Yep more discussion here:

It’s the biggest bull ■■■■ the engine DJ organises here. Any well-known DJ software for professional work works on a 12 year old or even older Mac. Why does a software that is only there as a player and only for analysing have to limit the system software. Currently, the engine DJ software is ruining every hardware controller. The next is also, how long the software on the hardware will work smoothly and without latency, currently it stalls and jerks and the search function is extremely slow despite high-quality SSD. Result despite great functions and connection options = money thrown away. Buy yourself a new MacBook…
