mmh.. no idea how it works on Mac, but on Linux it is simply copy and paste the save folder to the new version.
You ... kind sir ... certainly thought you did ... maybe it helps somebody:
You don't need a native Mac or Linux
version for this game, because
you can turn every Windows version into a native Mac or Linux
version yourselves.
A few guys in the this thread explained how to do that for Mac and Linux and there is also this thread here:

Have you guys tried it?
MacOS and Macs in general have become shitty a couple of years ago and are not recommended for simple use like internet surfing, video streaming, looking at picture, writing letters, etc... For simple things like that a Linux system on an average laptop or computer is sufficient enough.
Way i understand it, some bloke posted the juicy magik right here on June 5th. Watch this:
pk2000 explained it on June 5th and edited to complete post on June 25th ...
Instead of the files here, use the files in the thread
https://f95zone.to/threads/rpg-maker-mv-engine-all-versions.32358/post-2065717
or download the "RPG_Maker_MV_v1.6.2_NewData.zip" from that thread and extract it and replace the game files in the "www" directory.
With RPG Maker MV v1.62 most (all?) games run great on Linux and Mac OS X.
Some that every no and then crash in windows with the last update are more stable but most developers won't update them with the latest engine because potentially can cause bugs especially if they forget to update their custom plugins.
Anyway I uploaded the latest engine for helping linux and mac users... and for any user of windows thatwants to play the game with version 1.62.
