i was wondering if the BRE and ECUCONTROL programs from pgmfi.org will work on a mac or is it strictly PC. thanks everyone.

 

well, the short answer is that i do not believe that ecu control will. i dont know anything about bre.

the long answer.. is that i contributed some code to the ecu control project that uses vb.net,and i have heard that mono for linux will run .net executables.. so if you have osx that is bsd based you may be able to install mono and run the .net "binaries" through mono on your mac.. but then there are the driver issues. the code i contributed is more functional that frilly, but it may work if you spend some time working with it. here is a link http://forum.pgmfi.org/viewtopic.php?t=8346 that contains the source and a windows installer. i dont know if mono will help you use that windows installer, but it may be worth a try. if it doesnt work or none of this makes even a little sense, you may just check out the forums for a mac based solution, or get ahold of a windows laptop on ebay. good luck.

 

thanks man. anybody else?

 

come on someone...anyone...help

pretty much.

 

youd have to get a program that would let you open .exe files in a mac

 

thanks a lot you guys

 

There is a mac editor out there (iROM) written by a guy named luti on pgmfi.org. I think its for obd1 but its open source, so you could add your own ****.
