I everyone, Last weeks I didn't had much time to work on mandelbulb 3D for mac, BUT since I don't think I'll have enough time for quite a long, I decided to share with you my testing program, it's basically a wrapper based on wine which can launch windows apps directly from Mac OS X, without bootcamp or any virtualization solution (eg VMWare, ...) here is the link : https://rapidshare.com/files/3353493393/windows.app.zipto install it, just unzip it, run it once and then right click on a windows executable (.exe file), read informations --> open with (select my program in the dropdown menu, you may have to manually point "windows.app" if it doesn't shows ) and finally click the button right under the dropdown menu. now, just double click on any .exe file to run it. The method also works for .bat and .lnk (shortcuts) files It works at least with ultra fractal 5 and mandelbulb 3d Here you are EDIT ! The new wrapper is here ! here is the link : http://www.mediafire.com/?25hx62lyywn18

Ok, thank you if you need help to run a specific windows program on mac, just ask, I'll see what I can do Unfortunatly I can't send the wrapper directly to the forum, the file is way to big (357 mo compressed, and it's the smallest I can do )

hi, yes, I know about the recent problem with almost every filehost, I'll reupload it later on a different host, maybe filebay ? or maybe Rapidshare ? I don't know yet

hello ! this isn't normal, it should work for now, just try to open windows multi launcher by double clicking on its icon, a windows explorer windows should pop up, then naviguate to mandelbulb (your mac hard drive is listed as z:/ in the windows explorer) and launch it from there, there is no reasons (I launched the last version of mandelbulb with it yesterday and ran a big render, it worked fine)

First thanks a lot, slock, for the "window.app". For me it work perfectly, nearly all softwares I tried open and run OK, I also give the link to some friends and they also have success with it. I struggle with Parallels Desktop for years, personally I never like this software to much bugs and no support. Your solution is not perfect in all case but it'll help me to limit the use of window virtuallization to the rare occasions were your software don't work... I get a funny bug with one of the fractal software I use time to time call; FlightFromFractal the software was create by a japanese artist, in window xp, 2000 and 95 it open normally and all the menus are in english but with your software many of the menus are unreadable it probably try to load the Japanese charset without success. I try to find how to make it open in English but for now no luck If you are curious about it here is the link for the software; http://www.nahee.com/Software/FlightFromFractal.zip

Hi, I've looked the application and I think I've located the problem : In fact, wine lacks a few fonts from windows (legal issues) but this application tries to use a missing one, ordinary, wine's replacement font is enough, but for this app, the only replacement found was the webding font, which include the symbols you see, I'll try to figure out how to bypass the problem; anyway, I'm glad my little app helped ps : your english is quite good (I'm french so english is not my natural language either)

well, I'm glad I helped, but as I said previously, for legal reason (and for size reason too) I can't put these fonts in my wrapper and upload it, but I'm still working on the new version, I think I'll release it rather soon

Thank you very much for the new version "just a Glass".
The old version didn't work on one of my friend computer running lion, the new version now work.
This emulator is the most useful software I get in many years. Each time Parallels Desktop send a mail asking to buy an update I smile...

I downloaded the "just a Glass" so what do I do with it javascript:void(0)? As you might have guessed I am completely new to this application and fractals.
