mac subliminal

[dustin]

hi every1 is there a subliminal blaster type program out there for mac osX?
just gt the computer and was just wondering

[mistschaufel]

Not sure if Wine runs on Mac (I would think it runs on osx), but Subliminal Blaster works with Wine on Linux. Subliminal Blaster Pro (the pay-for) is glitchy with Wine, but works well with Crossover Office.

Out of curiosity, I just checked...Wine supports mac osx. Check it out at http://winehq.org

BTW, it's open-source (free as in beer)

There is Darwine which uses Qemu to emulate the x86 architecture, but I haven't had any success with it on my PowerBook. The only thing I ever tried was FatFreeERD (for entity relationship diagrams) but it didn't work. I was hoping it would as it works very well on regular Wine under Linux. That was over a year ago, though, so things may have improved.

Just keep in mind Wine is very hit and miss.

I am not familiar with Darwine, but if is basically qemu, which is just a kernel mod to emulate hardware and not software, you would need to install an operating system. Did you install Windows or Linux, in your Darwine? Qemu doesn't always work for all programs...has limitations, particularly when running Windows. I can run Ubuntu or another Xandros in a qemu box without problems, but when it comes to Win98, some programs are suboptimal or don't funcion...for example, Virtual Hypnotist is practically worthless under qemu.

Qemu works in two ways. One is the full system emulation you're thinking of. The other is similar to the way Rosetta works. Both ways are completely userspace (unless using the accelerator). Quoting the Qemu site:

QEMU has two operating modes:

Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.

User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.
