Virtual ][ requires a Mac with macOS 10.13 ("High Sierra") or better. It runs natively on both an Apple silicon Mac and an Intel Mac.

You can download and try an evaluation version for free. If you like the program, you can buy a license and fully enjoy the nostalgic fun of the old Apple II computer.
