Tek_No Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well, or I am missing something, or it's not true: just downloaded the latest Limewire version 4.10.5 from the official Limewire webpages and it's definitely still a PPC application...

dkelley Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 so they did the "other" way of making it run well on intel macs, they modified it to work well under rosetta. that's fine, as long as it works well. I always knew some coder out there would do it this way and take the easy route - probably means it's not coded using xcode (why would it be anyway). kewl, I'll start using it now.

Takuro Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 That's nice, but we're not talking about Acquisition. And how is this joking? I didn't catch that part... The Limewire group didn't port Limewire to Intel binaries, but they probably caught on that it refused to even work in Rosetta. Microsoft did a similiar thing with Office when they released an update that included certain fixes that had Rosetta in mind. Limewire is an EXTREMELY basic java program. They've made it run so well through Rosetta that you'd hardly see a difference even if they do port it to uni-bin.

antrunix Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Cabos is a Gnutella file sharing program based on LimeWire and Acquisition. It is free software. No spyware. No adware.

suleiman Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Folks! Before we all get too upset at the limewire group, I think they just forgot to change something around inside their binary. Check out the following screenshot, it's definitely running as an intel process Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8396-limewire-unibin-released/#findComment-56238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the following screenshot, it's definitely running as an intel process The reason being is that Limewire is a Java App., and Rosetta will not run Java, only Native Apps can, but I could be wrong.
