Is there any way to access ToastPOS from a Mac without Bluestacks?

Hello!  I used to be able to access ToastPOS from my Mac using the apk link + Bluestacks, but Bluestacks is unfortunately no longer compatible with Mac (Ventura), and they do not plan on making it so. 

Does anyone know of any other way to access the ToastPOS from a Mac?  I'm not looking to process payments, send orders, or anything business-related of the sort. I am just looking for access to view our Menu, current orders in the queue, some settings, etc. 

Any advice is welcome! (Running the restaurant remotely was so much easier when we had back-end access to the POS from a computer screen). Thanks in advance!

You'll probably have some questions about creating the device, just pick a tablet form factor, I use the nexus 10, you can pretty much leave all the device settings default, I would only change android version, should work with any but the terminals run on 9 I believe so I pick that. To install the app you just download the toast apk to your computer and drag it into the emulator once it is running.

You can use genymotion desktop, free for personal use, requires a little more setup than bluestacks as you have to create your virtual devices, but not difficult by any means. https://www.genymotion.com/download/

Do you use Genymotion? I created my account and it only allows a 30 day free trial. Perhaps they've  changed the parameters since you originally registered?
