Dora Wieland Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 My car now runs fine with the Link G4. The only not so fine thing is Windows. Performance is called another thing! How about a Mac version? Or does run PCLink over wine/crossover (not vmware or bootcamp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi Kevin, There are definitely people running PCLink on a Mac, see this thread for details: http://www.linkecu.com/forums/G4Forum/282264018?b_start=0#157533966 Cheers, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dora Wieland Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hey, tanks for your answer. They are NOT running PC Link on Mac. They´re running PCLink in a native (Bootcamp) Windows or through a virtual Windows Machine (virtualbox, vmware, whatever) Thats the way I do it at the moment. It works, but not fine. Another way could be a Iphone Version. Have you already think about that? There are OBD2 to Wifi converters out there, or build a usb -> wifi controller on your own. That would be very great.

Scott Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi Kevin, You are correct, there is no version of PCLink that will run on a mac naturally. I will add your suggestion to our list. Cheers, Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seized Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ugh Link please dont waste time on this, focus on firmware features!!! MagicMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dora Wieland Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 You´re right Brian, firmware features are nice. But not if PCLink runs on an OS (Win) that is a total piece of sh*t (sorry for that) that makes only problems. Even with a dedicated win7 / PClink Netbook I got problems... and yes, I´m an informatics, I know what I´m talking about, thats why I still want a _native_ version for OSX or Linux or Unix.

sns00 Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I been running PCLink using Wine in Linux as a test and here are my findings, so far... I'm unable to access the Help File (it pops up but it wont display the page/s content). A calibration file got screwed up when I used the Linux machine to tweak some values from the Win machine calibration file. Also layout config from Win to Linux gets wonky, some stuff wont display properly or not at all. Occasionally it freezes when loading large logfiles. My tuning laptop is running Win10 (*dry heaving*) and its OK as long as the system is not doing anything else...like random, unannounced updates when logging.

VirtualBox works flawlessly for this and you don't have to pay a license to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
