![]() I downloaded BYOND and tried playing ShapeShifter. They had Win98 loaded on VPC and unfortunately it was slow as molasses. I was at an Apple store today and spent some time trying out Virtual PC to see if it would even be worth buying for mine. Given this, its kinda hard to compare them from a technical standpoint.Īs for free emulators, you might check, but I wouldn't place any bets on stability. Mac's have RISC-based processors (mind you that all RISC processors have a little CISC built into them). Also, the x86 line of Intel chips are CISC-based. Well.my experience with the older Macs isn't that good, for I killed one just by clicking the mouse one wouldn't restart or anything. All it has to do is trick your computer into running like a PC, which isn't hard, My compute doesn't know It's processor is only 500mhz, It thinks it's a 750, so the computer won't lock up quite as soon. ![]() I could kill you for this statement.but I'll be nice.īut MAC is all creepy, and I think virtual PC is free, isn't it? and anyway, It's not too slow, That is, if you have the right computer, and I bet you can run it. I would actually like to try OS X sometime. Mac OS X is a vast change, and would require massive code rewrites, or even a complete overhaul. Any help would be greatly appreciatedįreeBSD, Linux, and Windows all support C++ with few system-dependent modifications, thanks to the availability of libraries for them - and, even then, BYOND on FreeBSD and Linux is still feature-dry. I really want to play the online dragon warrior game but it seems you made software for every OS except mac. To put things simply: unless you want your Mac-based version of BYOND to work in text mode only and be useful only as a server, it's better to emulate Windows to get access to the graphical version. BYOND is stripped almost bare of functionality in Linux now, and updates to the core handlers for Linux occur on a very rare basis. BYOND had its roots in Linux, but now it has its roots in Windows. The keyword is "operating system" (though "single" is important too =)) - when you design a program, you design it to work on a specific operating system. Inter-system compatibility is the one reason why most programs are restricted to a single operating system. Easier for the end user, maybe - hard as a block of titanium-carbide for the designer. ![]() It would be so much easier if you made the software for mac.
