Yep, got 3 macs at home...(Intels, PPC) even if I'm making remakes on Wintel, I always wanted to port them on my favorite OS.
After a couple of minutes (finally a real multiOS language!!!), I got a first intro working : A-Team OutRun (http://www.retro-remakes.net/viewproduction.php?prod=5af9acfaa2f1ac5cbb5a2fee199bae32e96b8d13)!
but got some obscur problems:
- after 10 seconds, the intro is running sloooooooooww (about 1 frame each second) and don't respond.
- the program takes about 900Mb in memory!!! (on windows, it take less than 10Mb!)
- There a lof differences betwen the OS: for example, to display sprites, you don't have to use StartDrawing(ScreenOutput() using it simply not display the sprite ???)!
Someone also use PB on OSX here?

Not me, but I made my own humour by thinking you'd said it was running on OS2. :D

I know I got lotsa old computers here... but OS2 (even if it was better than win95 at the time) is not one of my favorite oldschool OS... PureBasic on AmigaOS, yep! :kewl:

Here it is! I've found the bug about memory leak: the TransparentSpriteColor() is 100000x bugged!
If you specify a sprite ID, it will grow and grow the memory of the app until infinite :boxer:
You have to use fix a default color for all your sprite or use Spite3D blending mode (awfulll) TransparentSpriteColor(#PB_Default,RGB(255,255,255))
I've join a first test, is there someone here to try it????
Now I have to convert OSME to OSX...

Did you do that ?
Seems to be essential for getting oldschool-music working on OSX.

Nope I stopped activities last 5 years... :-[

and I stopped using pB to compile retro-remakes on previously unsupported platforms like: OSX/win9x.
