Circa 2008 and March 2024. At least the hair is a bit better!

of course we have to wait and see. Stil a native viewer would still be a bit advantage performance wise *if* LL and the 3rd parties can pull it off.

As I understand it Rosetta 2 support will be dropped in the next major OS update, so then no SL viewer will work on a Mac (without some form of emulation). This worries me a bit. I get the information from an email about a bit of software I use which states "Plugins requiring Apple’s Rosetta engine will cease to work". Of course there maybe some other issue they have, but it hints that Rosetta 2 is dead. One things is fore sure, I won't buy a windows PC just for SL.

Is there any update/solution to this ? For me the SpaceMouse also isn't working. I do see it in the drop down, also with he beta drives installed, but it isn't selectable. Very frustrating! Example of issue

Apple Silicon and why I am excited
Ona Waffle replied to ItHadToComeToThis's topic in General Second Life Tech Discussion
You know LL dont have to submit their viewer, just like Firestorm doesn't get submitted. Unlike IOS anyone can make a Mac program and distribute it as they wish. Sure Gatekeeper will warn the user that the app hasn't been tested, (once only), but it can still be run when the user permits it.. More of concern, to me, is that OpenGL has been depreciated and as far as I am aware, LL used a lot of OpenGL in the viewer. I can not imagine LL will rewrite the viewer using metal, so probably for us Mac users, it's game over. I for one will not buy a windows computer just for SL. -
Maybe equally important, will there be an Apple Silicon version of the viewers ? I don't fancy emulation and, in theory, an Apple Silicon version could bring the long demanded iPad compatibility too.

Text chat lag/keystroke delay issues on newer CHUI code
Ona Waffle replied to Gwyneth Llewelyn's topic in Second Life Viewer
I am on a Mac, and have this issue for the first time ever today. Whats changed ? Update to OS X 10.10 Yosemite today. -
For about a week, or maybe two, after I log in my avi is a cloud and I get no message notifications or inventroy updates for several minutes. When I get my avi rezzed, then the messages NC etc all appear at the same time. I also see the last few items of my inventroy loading at this time too. Once loaded sl works fine (until I crash!). I have not heard others mention this issue, so I assume its my system. any ideas what it could be? I am on Firestorm 4.5.1 (38838) Oct 28 2013 02:01:33 (Firestorm-Beta) with Havok support on a Mac.

Anyone got Space Navigator working on Firestorm Beta for Mac ?
Ona Waffle replied to Ona Waffle's topic in Second Life Viewer
Yes I have been using it for years with Emerald, and phoenix. Under firestorm, its totally screwed up. pull up to go forward, cant turn etc. I have tried to define a application profile, but it plain wont work. I have therefore dropped firestorm and reverted to Phoenix where at least it works. -
I have a brand new (2 day old) iMac and have performed a clean install (i.e. I did not migrate my old data across). I downloaded Firestorm Beta, and the Sapce navigator drivers. My movement is totally screwed up with the navigator. I must pull up to walk forward, press down for back. its not possible to turn or pan around. I previously used the Phoenix viewer on my old mac and had no issues. Searching the Jara, i see a report for a problem with Linux, but nothing for the Mac. In my case it cant be a mouse conflict, as I have a wireless connection.
