Since it hasn't been a month yet, I can still post here.

I am announcing I will be making Mac friendly Hacking Programs, I'll release a thread for my first release, which will be iMap, when I'm close to a beta.

I know alot of you Mac users are going to be excited over this :3

I think Gerri Shin can help you here. He is mapping for me and sent me a Screenshot, and what did i see? Advancemap running on a mac with mac graphics

I talked to him about it, he was running under windows but edited the program or something, I'm to lazy to open the message.

Yes, thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! I've recently gotten into the Pokemon ROM hacking scene, but was completely and utterly devastated when I found that there were no hacking tools for the Mac!

Yes, I'm on a PowerPC Mac myself (iMac G5), and there are quite a few Windows emulators for it.

They are:

Virtual PC 7.0.3 (PPC Compatible ONLY)
Price: Discontinued
(No longer supported my Microsoft. They even removed its page on their website!)
Notes: Has a few nice features and is considered the fastest out of all the PPC Windows emulators (but not by much).

Guest PC 1.9.7 (PPC Compatible ONLY)
Price: $69.99
Website: https://www.lismoresystems.com/en/
Notes: The emulator I'm currently using. Its speed is reasonable (as reasonable as you can get when emulating a different architechure) and is definitely faster than the other two emulators listed below. It also probably has the best support for USB devices. Worth it for the price, however, it seems to be dead as it hasn't been updated by the devs for almost 2 years.


Q 0.90a89 (Universal (PPC/Intel Compatible))
Price: Free
Website: https://www.kju-app.org/kju/
Notes: The emulator I first tried. Definitely well supported, and if you're only using it to run those ROM hacking programs, should be quite fine.

iEmulator 1.7.9 (Universal)
Price: $23.95
Website: https://www.iemulator.com/
Notes: Complete ripoff of Q! Check here for more information: https://www.kju-app.org/proj/wiki/iEmulatorEvidence

If I've missed any, please let me know, although I think I have gotten all of them.

Another option is that if you have a Windows PC stashed somewhere in your house, you can use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection 2.0 (Universal) to remotely connect to your PC and use it on your Mac at a much faster speed than an emulator (as long as your internet connection is fast enough).

Well, if progress goes as it is now, I should have iMap 1.0 by this summer.

I won't give Betas

That was Off-Topic...
*ahem* I can't wait for iMap to come out! I own 3 macs and i'm ready to hack :)
Also, In other mac related news I got NO$GBA to Run on my mac book
and I runs 100% speed even in 3D mode (When you go outside) :) :) I would make a vid except iShowU eats my cpu usage so.... yea

You're on OS X 10.5 I see. Then you might want to try ScreenFlow. From everything I've heard about it, it seems the best app for screencasting now. (However, still buggy!)
An Opinion: https://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/02/14/screenflow-screencast-for-the-mac-with-style/
(Unfortunately for me, it's Leopard only :()

And I also see you're using Grab to take screen captures. Try the shortcut Command+Shift+3 to take a capture of your whole screen or Command+Shift+4 to evoke crosshairs which you can use to select a portion of your screen to capture. (That's if you don't already know all of this.) There are others that you can all find in System Preferences>Hardware>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts (Sys. Prefs. might be set up a little differently in Leopard).

And just so this post isn't entirely off topic, I would just like to once again thank Heatran for promising :t174: us iMap 1.0 by summer. ;)

If you want to run some windows software for rom hacks, try DarWine:
[SIZE=-1]https://sourceforge.net/projects/darwine/[/SIZE]
That will run some windows programs, but not elitemap.

edit:
CPU DUDE!! You have a keygen generator on your pc! Shame on you!

True DarWine is the same as the wine i'm using except you dont have to compile it from source... The sourceforge page you linked to is offical, but outdated, the Updated Darwine is at: https://thisismyinter.net/?p=21

And BTW that folder is not mine, it's somthing my friend did on my Mac (I dont know what it is) in it was a empty .txt file, so I just deleted it

EDIT: Also Thanks DMNT for the suggestion ScreenFlow Its great :) I'm going to upload a good vid soon :) Vid is up NOW! https://www.sendspace.com/file/7wfcvg
