Problem starting virtual machine using Macbook

[emilia]

Hi,

I downloaded the beta version of VirtualBox as I am using a Macbook with an M1 chip (the official release versions don't support this, and they only release developer versions of older versions).

Machine: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
Host OS: Monterey 12.5
VirtualBox version: 7.0.8

When I try to start my virtual machine I get the error: A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine.

I have made the changes to my settings as suggested here (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=100654) bar doing this

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "<your VM's name>" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7-6700K"

as that also threw the following error

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "<Cognestic23>" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7-6700K"

VBoxManage: error: Could not find a registered machine named '<Cognestic23>'
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBoxWrap, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "FindMachine(Bstr(a->argv[0]).raw(), machine.asOutParam())" at line 633 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp

I have attached the logs. If anyone could help, that would be great, I'm not familiar with using virtual machines at all!
