Hacking M3 Adapter for Mac

[DDRFan2006]

Recently I bought a Macbook. I was curious if there was an M3 Game Manager for mac available or if anyone out there would like to help me design one. I am a programmer but I have never done something like this before.

Let me know what you think and if there is something out there for Mac.

One of the links or FAQs in that page has explanation on how to run the M3 game manager on a Mac... I just cant recall which, so search around.

Does the software work with a Mac?

Although the converter software for Roms and Movies is designed for a PC, It can be run on a Mac through virtual PC. The patching software has been tested with Mac OSX Tiger 10.4 and Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP, a Sandisk 12 in 1 media card reader that works with windows plug and play (card readers that use drivers may not work). The software will transfer games and patch then and is 100% compatable with the macintosh system with this setup.

The movie converting software has been run through virtual PC by a GBATMW member (the GBAMP version), and it has converted movies successfully, but as its in virtual PC, it is reported to take over 8 hours for a movie.

So basically NO there's no Macintosh version which means you'll have to use VirtualPC.
If you want to make a Mac version you should contact the M3 team ( http://www.m3adapter.com )

Unfortunately Virtual PC doesn't work with Intel-based Macs such as the Macbook, but I believe there are other PC emulators for Mac, such as Parallels.

or the free bootcamp beta allows you to run XP (or any other windows/unix)
