macOS Universal 2 Binary Support Request

[Tenpi]

Correct, for each platform I usually build the most popular arch, and I have an arm-based mac so the performance is better. But, I can continue building the intel version if there are still lots of people on them.

Universal binary might make a huge filesize so it's better to do it separate but I will have to check.

v0.5.0 is a universal build

Thanks. It seems some architecture-specific dependencies for Node might need to be changed a bit. When launching, it returns:

Uncaught Exception:
Error: Could not load the "sharp" module using the darwin-x64 runtime
Possible solutions:
- Please upgrade Node.js:
Found 16.17.1
Requires ^18.17.0 || ^20.3.0 || >=21.0.0
- Consult the installation documentation:

Looks like I have to build it separately since that module only has arm64 or x64 versions (no universal). Thanks for letting me know.

Tell me if it works it's in the same release 0.5.0

Actually nvm I can't seem to build it on x64 anymore, all the dmg's are crashing on startup.

If you still want to use it you can try running from the source.

git clone https://github.com/Tenpi/Waifu2x-GUI.git
cd waifu2x-gui
npm install
npm start
