I heard a while back that there were plans to have MMF made programs run on Macs. But then the mac programmer left. Is there a chance for mac mmf games in the future?

It would be REALLY cool if they could do it, but I guess they would need to find a capable MAC programmer first...
It would be great...
There isn't any good developing software for Mac (in this category), MMF would be cool.
lol :D Mac can't run executables so you would be making a completely different program in which everything is different.

PS. Both a Linux and Mac transform could be possible if the code is written in C++
I may have wrong but, mmf/2 uses a windows window, and stuffs like that and it cant run on mac, so it is needing to be reprogrammed.....
It would be worthy to convert this program to Mac becouse of the in-features (for non-windows operations (if it's possible). For example: the basic features, simple objects, graphic extensions), and becouse the language of MMF is great and unique.
I'd be willing to buy it again if a mac version was released :P
Yes me too, without any hesitation! :)Quote:

I too agree, if a Mac edition of the software is released, I would definitely buy it!
Id prefer to be able to compile Linux and Xbox executables.
Linux would be awesome :)
Xbox executables.... I don't see that happenning anytime soon...:)
it wont, unless there is an MMF Platform SDK out for the public and someone is VERY bored, is extremely good at C++ and happens to have an illegal modded xbox lying around which they can be bothered to spend a few months working on, so dont hope because it wont exist. Also none of the extensions would work as they are not built around the xbox's bios and hardware (believe me, ive used a few xdks and porting windows apps to xbox is much quicker than from ps2 to xbox, but the amount of changes needed... its extreme) also MMF2 itself is not written around the xbox architecture blah blah so to cut a long story short, it would require a complete rewrite of MMF2 and every ext. for MMF2 and require months of testing, none of which will happen unless you pay someone a alot of moneyQuote:

In all seriousness though, the chances are nill to none.
