Pokehack on a Mac???
Hey, just regestered cuz i had a question.
How do you pokehack on a mac? without virtualization (ie Bootcamp or virtualbox) thanks. |
Sorry, but, you're gonna need virtualization. If you're not using an Intel-based Mac, there's pretty much no good way to use the hacking tools. If you DO have an Intel-based Mac, you don't have to buy a fancy virtualization program to get most of the hacking tools to work: I use Darwine, and it works just fine. I'm a Mac hacker, and that's what I've been using.
Unfortunately, if you don't have an Intel-based Mac, I'm pretty sure that Darwine and any other virtualization programs (free or otherwise) won't work on your computer, which means the rom hacking tools won't. I think there are some hex editing programs that work on Macs, which means you'll have to learn how to go in and edit the actual lines of code to make a hack instead of getting to use programs like AdvanceMap to edit the maps or XSE to make the scripts; but it's possible to do. I don't know about what hex editors can do that, but I know they exist, so I'm sure someone here will know where to find a Mac-compatible hex editor. |
Search before making a thread, as stated above I have a thread educating you on the purpose of Darwine, while it may be a closed thread (i think) it is still a resource ;)
And if you have a PPC you could use a linux based OS and install wine on that which works on a PPC and faster on Linux |
Yeah, I use Darwine whenever I need to make some quick changes but I don't feel like switching to my old PC that I use for hacking, and Darwine works somewhat well on my Mac (well enough). Here's the link to Panda's tutorial. It helped me get things up and running (thanks Panda ;)). But, as ckret2 said, it will only work if you have an Intel Mac, or so I've heard.
Good luck with everything :) |
i tried using darwine... but i cant even get advancemap open. it gives me an error every time.
and i forgot to put that in my first post, but i searched and knew bout it b4 i posted lol:p im prob gonna use bootcamp thanks |

only 1 question. how do you ctrl alt delete? thanks dudes and dudettes |

So bottom left button is Control, option key next to it is the Alt, and delete is not the delete key used for backspaces but the delete key under "f13" and "fn" |

I use VirtualBox to run Windows - it's free and it works well. It's the only way I could get all those silly .exe files to work on my Mac! And I simply have not seen one Macintosh based Pokemon hacking program.

Ok, I have a problem hacking on my mac. I was using Advance Map with Darwine, and it was working fine, but now it won't work :(
Whenever I open it, it says "AdvanceMap.exe has exited with an error, have a look at the Log window..." Then the log window says: Spoiler:
Please help? |
Can't help on the EXACT problem, but thought I should let you know: sometimes I get error messages on Darwine where programs that worked for me previously just... spontaneously combust. Like your problem with AdvanceMap.
But, if I try again later, sometimes it'll start working again. No explanation for why it's started working again, no explanation for why it stopped in the first place. If the problem persists, my best recommendation is to open up TRiX, check mark EVERY box (even if you've done some of the installs already), and then click "Install." After doing that, several programs that I couldn't use at all beforehand, I was able to get running. And several other programs that occasionally froze/crashed didn't do so as often. Beyond that, the deep inner functions of Darwine are a bit of a mystery to me. |
do you have 2 hard drives if so i could send you a brand new copy of vista. Cus i have it i think its called double booting but im not sure you could look it up, if you wanted i post it to you pm me if you want to.

It never works, I've tried 10+ times, every time I get on. I've even downloading everything. I think it stems from when I had to force-quit it because it would'nt respond, it hasn't worked since. :( |
I just tried using Darwine and my Macbook just freaked out and died.... thats a really good sign for my beginning hacking career haha
