Then on the MAC download VMWare Player or Virtual Box (player) and you can run that whole OS from the player on your MAC with Driver support and everything you need to run the Tactrix, or the Innovative logger (or whichever you use)

This is what I do with my Slackware (linux) Machine for tuning. Just a thought If you need help because the thought scares you hit me up in a PM I can send you all the links you need with step by step's
Example of said korean ^

Oh lol as far as the original post goes, I am sure they are working something out, as for the Korean lol if you have a smartphone and use it pretty well, you can use VMWare or VirtualBox lol they are really that easy.

I don't want to take this off topic but, hyeteck I ran ES on wine though Slackware it was crap. As Far as EvoScan on MAC the only feasible way at the moment would be a virtual environment, wine is an emulator and is real buggy, I am just saying

i dont get all the fuss.

i have an orginal production year macbook pro, and on only 2gb of memory with only 1gb dedicated to parallels all my tuning/flashing stuff works flawlessly.

only thing i havent accomplished yet is the serial port sharing issue, so i cant connect directly to my lc1. but i have it wired into the ecu anyway.

Buy one of those mini-pc's and keep it moving. That's what I keep in my glovebox in case I have to do a tune on the fly. Works pretty well.

Yeah that is what is stands for now but in the early 90's when I started using WINE it meant WINdows Emulator, and well despite what you think all the open source code that went into writing that software did not come from thin air, and the ultimate goal of the software was to Emulate and environment to run OTL software. Sorry for going off topic OP.

On topic I was able to get hold of a MAC book Pro and started playing around with it I will let you know.

I use a Macbook Air for home use and although I would love an OSX version of EvoScan, it's probably not going to happen. He would likely have to develop it in an agnostic platform like Java, and that's not a small undertaking. Coming from the Subie world I had to use RomRaider on a virtual machine. It's really not that big a deal to run VMWare Fusion with a Windows 7 VM.
