VVVV through CrossOver : splash screen and nothing more

wStone · February 22, 2017, 10:48am

Hi everybody,

I’m trying to install vvvv_50beta35_x86 on my mac using CrossOver. I had different issues I fixed reading some topics here and looking at the startup log. In particular, I had to manually add MFC42.DLL that was missing.
I unzipped using 7zip, and I renamed the freeframes directory to freeframes_disabled. But the problem remains : after the splash screen, vvvv fail to start…

Any idea of what is happening there ?
Is this only possible to run vvvv trough CrossOver ? I didn’t find any confirmation about this…

Here’s the startup log :

no ideas ?
does anyone heard about the possibility of running vvvv on mac through crossover ? Or am I just wasting my time ?

thanks

Don’t think anyone managed to success, the only help you can get is to search forums i guess

this topic was discussed several times… and there is no solution iirc.

personally, i’d say it wouldn’t make much sense to run it on a mac, because lot of vvvv stuff is based on windows-tech… the whole rendering part for example.

and at the end you want to run some algorithms on a computer… the os in between is relatively irrelevant.

Well, even if I’m a little disappointed , thanks for your answers.
I think I’m gonna try Quartz Composer and Touch Designer.
