How can I run TntConnect on my Mac via CrossOver?

Filed under: ,

TntConnect for the Mac!

TntConnect is available to run directly on your Mac.  Note: This requires a Mac w/ an Intel chip with a recent version of OS X such as Leopard or Snow Leopard.

CrossOver Mac

This product can help provide the same experience as TntConnectfor the Mac, as it is based on the same underlying technology that "TntConnecton the Mac" is based on.  But CrossOver comes with commercial support for the rare situations when TntConnect for the Mac doesn't work for some reason.

Also here are instructions on how to install TntConnect into CrossOver.

 

 Virtualization (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox)

These products allow you to simultaneously run Windows side by side with your Mac OS.  Because these products don't have to emulate the Intel CPU, they run Windows very fast at nearly full native speed.  Parallels and VMware even provide options to make the programs running in Windows to appear as if they are Mac programs, hiding much of the Windows interface.

Take note:

  1. This option requires a Mac with the Intel chip.
  2. You still need to purchase and install a full license of Windows.
  3. Windows XP Home or Windows Vista Home are more than sufficient for running TntConnect.
  4. Some work is being done (in the "labs") specific to the Parallels product that might help TntConnect better integrate with the Mac environment.
  5. Work has been done by our staff in Germany to make the Parallels experience even more integrated:

Dual Boot (Boot Camp)

Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own partition on your hard drive.  Unlike virtualization you can not run Windows side by side with your Mac OS.  Instead, you need to restart your computer into Windows mode.  Take note:

  1. This option requires a Mac with the Intel chip.
  2. You still need to purchase and install a full license of Windows. 
  3. Windows XP Home or Windows Vista Home are more than sufficient for running TntConnect.

Emulation (Virtual PC)

On older Macintosh computers, you might be able to install Virtual PC.  Although Virtual PC will allow you to run TntConnect, many users have reported this to be a painfully slow experience.  This slowness is because older Macintosh computers are not based on the Intel CPU, this it must be emulated.

  1. You still need to purchase and install a full license of Windows. 
  2. Windows XP Home or Windows Vista Home are more than sufficient for running TntConnect.

WINE

WINE is the technology that the new "TntConnecton the Mac" is based on.  CrossOver is a commercial version of WINE.  WINE is an open source project with the goal of cloning Windows functionality without requiring Windows.  Various sets of Instructions on how to begin trying this are available:
