      Has anybody tried Isadora on a Hackintosh?

      This is purely to satisfy my personal curiosity, I'm not looking to actually do it.

      I assume it'd be a nightmare to trouble-shoot the Frankenstein issues, but then again, it could be the best of both worlds.

      Thoughts?

      Best Wishes,

      Woland (Lucas Wilson-Spiro)

          @Woland I am going to be going there in the next few months:  I work in Windows but there are audio things I want to explore that are simplicity itself to do in Mac / Mac version of Isadora and stupidly difficult (for me, anyhow!) in Windows. Seems that the secret to success is build/buy a box that's already been tried and tested by the Hackintosh communities, of which the best seem to be tonymacx86.com and insanelymac.com. Am seeing some last-generation HP Workstations that are powerful machines and are easy to Hackintosh...

                I had mixed results - some systems worked fine and others I couldn't get it to run at all. I never found out why.

                http://www.digitalfunfair.co.uk I'm using M1 MBP 14" mostly but sometimes use older Mac & Windows machines.

                    Yeah, that was sort of my fear, that it'd be nearly impossible to troubleshoot.

                      And that's why I think you have to go with a tried and tested solution, rather than hoping for the best with the hardware you happen to have
