Add Windows for ARM support

Epic Games just released Windows for ARM support for Epic Online Services (therefore Easy Anti Cheat) :
VRChat was already running great with Prism emulation on ARM devices. Would it be possible to add that support on VRChat so people with ARM devices (like with the Snapdragon X series chips) can play ?

So turns out this works now - on native ARM! 😂 Which is great for ie Microsoft Surface tablets, or other devices running ARM & Windows natively. However, the requirement for TPM and HVCI means it will not run under VIRTUALIZED Windows 11 Arm 64, via VMWare or Parallels, because EAC relies on VBS.
I don't imagine this is negotiable since it's probably core components of the anti-cheat. But, worth pointing out.

M Ξ I VRChat on Mac isn't happening anytime soon yeah...

Nicalay2 Well, I wouldn't say that
The iOS version exists now, Silicon Macs can natively run iOS/iPad apps. That's enabled by default, but VRC has turned this off. Hopefully that sees some traction, though.
As for Desktop, virtualization-wise the M3 and upwards now has nested virtualization, which is the core component needed for VBS. VMWare and Parallels just need to integrate that support into their software, and we're good to go.

Would LOVE to see this implemented! Currently it is the only blocker for getting VRC running on Apple Silicon as well through VMWare/Parallels/Crossover. When using VMWare and ALVR, it's even possible to use full blown SteamVR, which means if we can get ARM64 support going, it is finally legitimately possible to play VRC on Macbooks.

If this allows content compiled for Windows to run on ARM devices, it will be absolutely incredible.
