Gm techline sps with MacBook Air help

[antus]

yeah, im thinking that too, more likely a virtualisation problem than because its a mac, though the new m1 macs are a pain for x86 emulation, too. im not a mac expert but maybe running windows on it directly would help too. i have used a macbook pro for a lot of tuning stuff but I used bootcamp and ran win 10 on it native for that.

I can’t use boot camp with my iOS version im pretty sure, there was a reason it didn’t work. I have the intel processor. But gets me is why does dps program fine, but the techline does not

Here you go. Win10 on VM Fusion, MBP Retina with Tactrix as the interface.

That’s really great thanks for that!!

Mmm wonder why mine won’t work?

So I just discovered something maybe I need to drop can on different pins as per mongoose pro?

I used my old MBP with Windows VM's and dual boot until about a year ago and never had any issues. It only got replaced cos it died after 12+ years of proper battering and they are ridiculously priced compared to back then, plus USB-C only etc.
I dont have a Mongoose but Im fairly confident that's not your issue, its a Techline error.

Mmm yeah ok, wish I knew how to fix it pain dragging my desktop to the vehicle lol!

I have successfully used gds2 with the MacBook though and dps works.

Is there a driver I could swap from dps to techline?

From anecdotal evidence ive heard techline sps is a buggy piece of crap and some older installs have come out broken and needed manual fixes to get it going again. I think its possible if not likely that you just got unlucky and installed it on the wrong day and now you have a broken install. I reckon if you uninstall it, or even reinstall your vm environment and try again it might just start working. I still dont think its a mac problem.

It's definitely not a Mac problem.
Make a new VM and start again.
