X Lossless Decoder
Mar 21 2009

LUCLUV  Option-clicking, as suggested by the editor, downloaded a file titled "xld-gui-20090320.tar.bz2.exe". Nothing that a Mac would/could open.

DVD RegionCode Unlock
Jan 8 2009

LUCLUV  I guess what everyone really wants to know is whether this allows someone to change the region code more than the Apple allocated 5 times?

Or does this only allow someone other than the admin to change the code one time, thus using up one of the 5 times allocated to each Mac's DVD player?

Point of View
Dec 26 2007
****.

LUCLUV  Unlike the first three reviews, I've had no problems running this game just as it is when it first starts up. I'm on an Intel Core Duo 2GHz iMac with 512 MB RAM, Radeon X1600 and running OS 10.4.11.

As to the game itself, I was initially going to complain that it was unsolvable. However, after looking at the screenshot provided here, I caught on to how it was possible to solve these puzzles.

I find the game addictive, maddening, and highly rewarding once you find the right configuration. It's a great game for anyone considering studying engineering or drafting, because it gives you a good idea of 3-D spatial analysis.

The only reason I don't give this a five rating is due to its being a first incarnation and everything can be improved upon.

Good job Holmes! And thanks for making it free!

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Oddly enough, the previous beta (2.2.039) is still available on this page, look closely and you'll find it:

Flip4Mac WMV Player

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Further, it states on the page I mentioned previously:

"Important: If you have upgraded your Operating system to Leopard, OS 10.5, you will need to download and install the beta version of Flip4Mac, v2.2.0.39, before activating your Flip4Mac license. You will be able to activate your Flip4Mac license once you have downloaded and installed this version, which is about to become our official release."

So, my guess is that 2.2.0.49 was/is the final release or a very near-final release candidate and someone at Flip4Macville messed up and posted it prematurely and as a beta. So it got pulled. Just a guess, but sure looks like that is what happened. Who knows.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Version 2.2.0.49 is available, yet again, and it is not a beta. Previous Flip4Mac WMV Player beta installer windows were clearly marked with a beta label superimposed upon the Flip4Mac logo in the installer window. This 2.2.0.49 installer is not designated as beta within the installer itself unlike previous beta installers.

LUCLUV  If you read the release notes (click on the link above), you will see that this (9.0.115) is a BETA release. So, if you choose to install this, you are agreeing to the beta release terms and conditions.

It also tells you that you have to UNINSTALL any older versions before installing this release.

Phoenix
Nov 8 2007

LUCLUV  I've been using Phoenix 1.9.6 since I got my Intel iMac over a year and a half ago. But this "new" release says it's version 1.9.6 and the "What's New" lists the version as being 1.9.5.

What's up with all this? What version is this new release and IS it actually a new release? And while we're at it, is this really a PPC only release? Is there different one for Intel Macs?

SPUDZO  Thanks for the question.

Dinky Dungeon sadly will be only PPC (Carbon) native - due to the choice of development tool. However - even on my intel mac mini it runs fine through Rosetta. I hope to make Dinky Dungeon II a Universal Application.

cheers, Dr. Frankenspud

WeatherDock
Feb 16 2007

LUCLUV  If at all possible, I would like to see the upcoming forecasts' conditions and temperatures linked in the menubar. As it is now, when selected, you get the three conditions, then the three temps at the end.

For instance, right now it my upcoming forecasts read: "Flurries, Snow Shower, Snow Shower, 21, 31, 23"

I would prefer it to read: "Flurries, 21, Snow Shower, 31, Snow Shower, 23". Which I find to be much less confusing.

OnyX

LUCLUV  When I saw this listing for Onyx 1.7.8 I opened my Onyx 1.7.7 and ran the updater. It didn't pick up this newer version and said I was up to date.

I'll try again later, but by the time an update is posted here, one would think it would be available to the updater in the previous version.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Perhaps it does not appear to your install of OnyX because this release is a beta. But this was submitted to us from the developer so it is 'kosher', albeit beta so you may want to wait for the final relase of 1.7.8

AMCAN12  because 1.7.8b1 is a beta release - pay attention to letter "b"

auto or manual updater will not treat any betas as an update, only non-beta versions will be recognized by updater.

SafariSpeed
Nov 17 2006

LUCLUV  While test driving SafariSpeed 2.0, I came across the following error message while attempting to change the Brushed Metal look in the Interface settings.

AppleScript Error

unzip: cannot find or open /Volumes/SafariSpeed/Volumes/SafariSpeed.zip or /Volumes/SafariSpeed.ZIP. (9)

Clicking on either button under Interface launched Safari, then gave me a dialog window to close Safari, followed by the above error message.

I had no problems with disabling the lag time. It made my Safari 2.0.4 incredibly faster than it had been.

For the record I'm on an Intel iMac running Tiger 10.4.8 and Safari 2.0.4

WEBMASTER1  From the error message you provided, it appears that you were attempting to run SafariSpeed from the disk image it comes packaged on.

To avoid this error, you should copy SafariSpeed to your Applications folder (or somewhere else on your hard drive) before running it.

If this doesn't fix the problem for you, please let me know. My e-mail address is awarofka@scifience.net. I'll be glad to help you troubleshoot.

RZRR41  When I clicked the Disable Brushed Metal button, it worked just fine, but then when I start Safari, nothing happens. If I open a bookmark, I get a window but nothing loads.

So I clicked Enable Brushed Metal, to get back to the old setting. Now I have an extra menu bar at the top of the safari window.

How can I get rid of that ?

Thanks for you help.

Mac Messenger
Nov 2 2006

LUCLUV  Depends on what Mac OS you are running. If you are using MAc OS 9.2.2 or lower, you cannot use what you've downloaded. The .dmg file extention is a disk image file (installer) that you can only open and run in Mac OS X. MS quit supporting Mac OS 9.2.2 (and lower) a long time ago.

Before getting my new Intel iMac, I was using this Mac Messenger instead of Micro$oft's own client because theirs always gave me problems like those described in other posts here.

LUCLUV  Buried at the bottom of the Acceptance box "Read Me" it says to back up your iTunes before installing AguaT. I HIGHLY recommend it, as I had to trash my iTunes and reinstall it from scratch.

Actually, I would NOT recommend installing AguaT until the developer addresses this problem.
