Ktuner Software for Macintosh

Post by Audiophyle »

Where's the love for OSX?

I vaguely recall there being mentioned an OSX version for Mac's, has anything come of that?

There's no drivers for the flash hardware so I can't release it.

Run windows on your Mac via bootcamp or parallels.

I've been using parallels on my Mac and it works great with the ktuner software.

Parallels is a fantastic program.

Parallels is a good program, but it doesn't work well with KTuner for some reason - sometimes it can't connect to ECU for minutes, the connection drops randomly, sometimes it drops while flashing and I have to recover ECU, that's annoying.
No problems with Bootcamp, but it would be great to see a Mac version being made available and I would personally very much be interested in it.

thank you

I use parallels to test the software with practically every version of Windows supported. I don't seem to have that issue.

that's great, but Mac version will be better than using Parallels or any other virtual machine.

libusb is available for Mac, and some of KTuner screenshots from online help were taken on Mac, so I guess it's not a big deal to port KTuner to OS X.

There is currently no Mac library available for the Tactrix Flash interface, though I've asked them several times. I can't release a version that only supports half of the hardware.
