I see the add and try to read through but not find an answer.

Does anyone know if hm2 will be working on mac OSX? I mean if it works on frigging iPad and iPhone it should support normal OSX environment??

I run PT3 on my mac but would like to try HEM too but am not looking to put in any parallels/bootcamp stuff on my macbook.

ok good to know. as I am going to be getting PT4 unless they pop the HEM2 mac trial so I can try it out and feel how much different it is. I though iPad has its OS built on the OSX engine thus kinda sounds odd if they can make it work on other apple products but not on the actual computers.

HEM for OSX will never be released because it requires .NET Framework that runs only on Microsoft Windows.
HEM can't be simply ported to OSX from Windows. it requires developing from scratch.

it's just a replayer and history converter.

Free companion iPhone, iPad, and iTouch application:
You will have the ability to upload hands directly from HM2. You can then filter, review, comment, share or replay them.
The HM Mobile application will allow you to easily tweet hands.
You can watch dozens of HM Tutorial videos.
An Android version of these tools is under development.

It doesn't require developing from scratch. Most of .net framework is supported in mono. It would simply require porting incompatible code.

Now will developers ever make an OS/X version? Who knows? It really depend on how large the Mac market becomes.

for example, open source software Open Office can't open and display content of Microsoft Excel file correctly.
so how can another open source software be successful in performing more complex tasks involving Windows technologies?

With .net microsoft has made C# and open international standard, has provided extensive documentation on .net framework and even assisted mono development with the release of internal code. Everything that is produced from .net is merely converted into CIL and compiled at runtime. This provides huge insight into "what" is happened and makes building a cross platform standard far easier.

The two aren't even close to comparable.

We continue to consider the possibility of releasing a Mac version. However, we have no time frame on when a decision will be made or when an HM for the Mac would be available. We have heard your requests and those weigh significantly in the utlimate decisions for priorities for major development tasks.

No, it will not. You may be able to start and install it but i'm pretty sure you will get no working hud, and you need to install postgresql under Linux.

btw, just a suggestion for a first step for linux ?

i saw with the program for linux called : playonlinux, that they use wine as a base to make work a lot of games that wouldnt work without it on linux .
( playonlinux is kind of a GUI for wine )

i even saw they have pokerstars available on there, tho it aint support by pokerstars i think not sure.

might be an avenue anyway to contact them ( playonlinux), to see if they could do anything to make supportive action to put HEM over there or helping u in any kind of way. to make compatible ?

was just a suggestion or an idea, have a good day
