General impression I get of the site is, that they are friendly and helpful. Hopefully those will go in the right place, and still be accessible after the install, but if not, I can provide the dlls myself and tell you where to put them, should work fine to just put them into Bounce Metronome's own install folder. It does need special dlls which it installs itself. Bounce is backwards compatible to Windows XP. Unselect the option to make a desktop shortcut and don't let the program run after the install. This shows the process of getting a program to install as a WineApp with Wine Bottler It's under active development, though by a single developer. From what I've read it may be the easier to use of the two. So, it needs someone to do that packaging - and then after that, you have what looks like a native Mac app for anyone to download and run.įirst is Wine Bottler. This also means you can totally customize Windows, the version, any files and registry entries the app needs, and so on, just as it is needed for the app. They package the entirety of Wine into the app. All use Wine and all let you turn your Windows program into a package that looks to the Mac like a native Mac app - but to Bounce Metronome it would look as if it is running under Windows. There are several main projects under active development. HOW TO RUN BOUNCE ON A MAC UNDER WINE FOR TESTING So there is no guarantee that it will work right away but just as for Linux I'm ready to do the work if anyone on a Mac is geeky and able to do the testing and bug reports. There are sure to be other minor differences also for implementations of Wine on the Mac, because it has to translate the Windows dlls to native Mac code instead of native Linux codes, and emulate the layout of the Windows file system, dlls, midi devices, etc on a Mac instead of a Linux machine. avi files which doesn't work, but few users need that feature. In case of Bounce then after some work reprogramming parts of it for Wine, it worked just fine except for the export of videos to. Some programs run fine, some don't and some run but with some features not working. This means, there are always going to be minor, usually insignificant differences between Wine and Windows. They have to do it that way for legal reasons, that's why it's permitted to develop Wine under interoperability legislation in the US. Though Wine emulates Windows fairly well, they have no access to the Windows source code, or details of how Windows work outside of its documentation and what you can find out just by using it. But I did have to do a fair bit of reprogramming to get that to work. It already runs on a Linux computer using Wine. It's just a matter of whether there are any detailed issues that prevent it running. So, on the face of it, looks as if it would be possible to run it using some version of Wine. These use an Intel chip and run x86 code. If anyone reading this has any techy ideas about how that might be possible do let me know!įor more about this, and to find a form you can use to add yourself to a mailing list for developments, see Mac, Mobile, and Other Multi-Platform FAQs For Intel Macįor the modern Intel Mac though the situation is far more promising. Same for Android - or at least if it did, it would need to be some version of Wine bundled with a CPU emulator to run the code - or if there is some way to compile a Windows program into Arm instructions. I can't see it running on an iPad / iPhone in the near future, because it is compiled into x86 code which can't run on an Arm processor. To add yourself to a mailing list to be notified of any developments, please go to the Multi-Platform Contact form. I can't see it running on an iPad / iPhone in near future, instead that probably requires me to write a new multi-platform app from scratch. But it might be able to run on an Intel Mac with a bit of work. The short answer is, that it can't run on any of those right now. This is something I'm asked often, it's the most frequently asked question about Bounce Metronome. (Sadly the method won't work for an iphone or iPad) Original post Mac musicians - you can now support my Kick starter to get Bounce Metronome running on an Intel Mac. (Sadly the method won't work for an iphone or iPad) My Kick starter to get Bounce Metronome running on an Intel Mac was a success and was used by musicians for several years. The Wineskin developer hasn't yet released a 64 bit version but there may be other ways of running Bounce on a Mac inside of Wine. UPDATE - Sadly the Wineskin version doesn't work in High Sierra or later due to Apple dropping support for 32 bit apps.
