eDiving running on MacBook Pro !!

[DiveNav]

Hi,
thanks to "sbutts" - a SB member and beta tester of eDiving - we have realized that eDiving does run on a MacBook Pro equipped with Windows XP w/ SP2 and BootCamp.

You also need to install .NET 2.0 which includes the VC80 CRT files and DirectX 9.0 which is used in eDiving.

Now Mac users can enjoy eDiving too.

Can you clarify that this is on the Intel Mac? I'm guessing results differ on the PPC version.

Correct it's on an Intel Mac. Apple's Boot Camp only works on Intel based Macs.

I haven't used any of the emulation software for PPC Macs like Virtual PC, but I highly doubt it would work. Its need to support Direct X 9.0c to properly run eDiving. AFAIK, the virtualization software for Intel Macs (Parallels, VMWare) doesn't even support that yet. So dual-booting using Boot Camp is currently the only way I know of to run eDiving on a Mac.
