[QUOTE=leebot;47065]You would think it would be a minor change to port it over to linux. But really how many users that would want it on linux don't already have a pc they can run it on. I would rather they spend time working on bug fixes and enhancements.
I personally would love a x86 (or even PPC) linux binary. As I think has been addressed in this thread many times. A lot of people have issues with windows.
If the full hog3 can run linux why can't any of the smaller varieties?
I understand linux is more of a "poweruser" OS, but do what a lot of enterprise apps do, only support a certain distro (probably some form of debian variant as thats what the hog 3 is based off of)
Would it be possible to install the hog3 linux package on a powerpc distro? Has anyone tried it?
[QUOTE=jxgriffi;40440]I use it in Parallels all the time. That's how I do my remote focus. Hook up the router, choose the network, open Parallels and go for it. Works like a charm. I've never even setup bootcamp because I don't need the horsepower as I only have 2 XP programs left (Wyg and Hog3PC). Everything else, I keep running in my Mac environment and just switch over as needed.
i have a hardware installation notification when i plug my widget into my mac. im running windows through bootcamp. why is this not working?

Without knowing the error or any other details, I can't really say "why" it's not working.
Give some details about your computer, windows version, Hog3PC software version, etc. along with the actual error your receiving and I might be able to help you.
You might try giving High End Support a call to see if they can help you too.
Hey all, I'm running windowsXP through bootcamp on my macbook. I've installed all the software properly and disabled all firewalls as well as my internet connection. Every time i plug the widget in and try to install it the 'hardware update wizard' window reads, "problem installing this software, a service installation section in this inf is invalid." has anyone stumbled upon this error message!? PLEASE HELP!
I vote mac U know Well yes u can achieve it going the scenic route but why? if thiers a way to make it so it can run off of mac than they should do it its only going to be one more feature that will make the console look that much better. Which by the way they need to hurry up on the wing drivers for vista 64 bit. Went out and bought a $1800 touch screen pc to run it with the wing and the wing wont work....
Back in the day the Hog was on Power PC... then things went over to the dark side of PC and have never recovered... BTW. Hog PC runs well under the "Wintell Native" side of the Mac... so why not go native and skip the shell?
I run HOG3PC on my mac all the time with VMware Fusion. It creates a virtual computer onto which you can install whatever OS you want. I have a light version of XP and have all my offline editors on it. Super easy to install programs onto it and move files into and out of it (drag and drop), all in a program that runs in a window in MAC OS. Make it fullscreen and its like having a PC. Its AWESOME! No need for a separate mac version with this program.
To a point I can agree but why have a PC when you can have a Mac????
Utilizing a wintell shell still means you deal with wintell programming full of wintel garbage... kinda like cleaning the leaky trash bag out of the can, installing a new trash bag without cleaning up, and wondering why it still smells! UMware is great but it still requires homage to XP etc.
If you are going to go native go native... in programing these days it has its challenges but the reward is addressing the full potential of the Mac OS!
Am I missing something in this discussion? The WholeHog consoles are built around PC computer with embedded Windows OS correct? So they are basically PC computers with elaborate keyboards and interfaces. The HogPC is basically the OS from the stand-alone consoles that can be run from a PC computer. HogPC is free to download. To get DMX out you need widgets or wings etc.
So why in the world would High End spend any amount of time developing a HogPC/Mac? What is the return on the investment of development time? Would they sell it? How many people would buy it considering they can run HogPC on their Macs now? Would they make money selling more widgets? I doubt the return on investment would be worth the effort.
Unless I'm missing a Mac market somewhere? :dunno:
Can Anyone plz tell me how i can get the playback wing and the DP to work on VMware i can see it under the VM USB but have no control.. Also can any1 tell me how i can use a monitor in VMware.. Thanks
Wow! Sure it's great idea to run HOG PC on MAC OS. I use MacBook Pro and run HOG PC using Bootcamp with Windows XP. But... if Wholehog consoles run under Windows, what about showfiles compartability? Would it be possible to download showfiles created on HOG PC under MAC OS to any Wholehog console? MAC use different files system that Windows.

It works... It's not depend on filesystems, it depends on fileformat. And all consoles (WH,iPC,RH,RHFB,PC) use the same...
