Kerkythea PreRelease v1.3.05 Public Beta 1

I am a Mac user.

The way I do it is using "Parallels Desktop" a $79 Virtual Machine (VMWare beta sucks and is not usable), with Host shared folders.

On top of this I need a legal copy of Windows XP. I could run under Linux, which I do consider. But I already have the XP license, and a slimmed down XP does not eat too much RAM.

For simple stuff and playing it is fine. I can keep the VM running next to my OS X with SU6 (I have 2GB RAM so fine), and it is OK to switch.

But the problem is: The VM only gives one CPU, and do not allow me to use the full 2 cores. The VM has some overhead (20% CPU or so). I have to give away memory for Windows and OS-X. The extra disk space is less of a problem.

If K2007 runs under Wine, then this could also be an option as Crossover runs on OS-X, but as a commercial product. I bought it before Parallels Desktop, but got a refund as it was not nearly good enough for what I threw at it.

So I would definitely grab an OS-X version over the PC version any day. No matter if it runs under X (ships with OS X) or native OS-X.

BTW: There is also the nerd solution. Use Q (OS-X port of QEmu) with Linux. This option is free.

But please give us an OS X native version. It will be great for all the SU users.

I have quite a bit of development experience, but not so much time after I got married. But I can help debugging and possible find/fix bugs.

There's the easy way of providing links...
And obviously there's the more advanced way...

Cheeky

Damn,

For a moment I thought there was a download available for a new beta....
NOT

That's what happens when old threads are being dug up again.

By the way, what is actually the status on KT2007SE if I'm allowed being a bit curious and maybe also a bit nosey ?


Thanks,
Kwistenbiebel

Hi Kwistenbiebel,

You're allowed to be both curious and nosey...

We (The KT Team and moderators) are currently testing Beta 5...
Some bugs has been reported and Giannis is fixing these at the moment and we expect a Beta 6 in nearest future... (one of the following weeks)

Unfortunately summer holiday etc has commenced and I personally don't expect a new release before in August/September (earliest)...
But some nice features will hopefully compensate for the additional time you'll have to wait...

Cheers
Kim Frederik

Could you give us a teaser of some of the new features? A new version already [in a couple of months, or whatever]? How exciting! You guys are doing an amazing job.
