![]() ![]() ![]() The first menus should skip pretty quickly. It should then launch in a windowed mode. Fire up GTA:SA from the Programs menu in the menubar, or from the exe in the finder wherever you installed it (Crossover keeps its files in ~/Applications/Crossover/, or ~/Library/Application Support/Crossover/). Now that GTA is installed, you can go ahead and play the damn thing. Crossover is pretty supportive when it comes to installing applications, and it should install like it does on Windows. Now, I installed GTA: San Andreas from BootCamp and then opened it from there, but other Crossover beta testers have reported the installer is working. Remember that the lower the resolution, the faster your game usually runs. I used the size 1024 x 576 for a widescreen window, but you can select whatever in there. Switch to the Graphics tab of the Windows-styled window, and tick the "emulate a virtual desktop". Once that is open, you can then go to configuring your "virtual desktop", which will allow games to be played in windowed mode, and allows them to run properly on OSX. On the right hand side of the window there are a few options, Bottle, Applications, Control Panel and Advanced. Give it a few seconds, and then it'll be created. Call this bottle whatever you like, such as "gaming", and change the type to "winxp", or whatever suits the game you want to play. Go to the Configure menu, and select Manage bottles.įrom there, you can use the plus symbol to add a new bottle. Now that you've installed Crossover, you can go ahead and create your bottle. You can grab Crossover for Mac from here. This application by Codeweavers takes advantage of Wine, and allows Windows applications to be natively run on Mac OSX, inside 'bottles', like different mini-Windows-installations. Here's a screenshot of the end result:įirst off, you need the Crossover application. In my opinion it makes a huge difference especially when listening at lower volumes.Alright. It basically adjusts the loudness curve dynamically when you raise/lower the volume. Oh, and I almost forgot: It also has a plugin called "Loudness Compensator". Since version 1.20 it can also be run "headless", which means one could run it on a raspberry without a screen etc., just as a media streamer. Now it's just one command on the terminal and it's ready to rock. I wrote a bash script to start jack, all plugins, MPD, and nicely arrange the windows. It takes a bit of patchwork to connect everything with the Jack Audio Connection Kit, but everything can be saved as a patchbay for easy recalling. Sure it's experimental, but sounds pretty amazing. Output goes into two vintage Accuphase amps and then to two 18" subwoofers and two 8" full-range drivers. Currently I have setup a 2-way crossover, each channel with a parametric EQ. I absolutely love what you can do with these. but there is definitely something missing in the Linux section: LSP Plugins! Voxengo Sound Delay: for setting individual delay for drivers/subs.Other free EQ options are MEqualizer, QRange, Marvel GEQ, Toned. ![]() TDR Nova: great low latency parametric EQ with compressor/expander.There are free options out there like MConvoltionEZ & XvolverEssential Sir3: reverb convolution known for zero latency and good updates across OSs.Within it you can host additional plugins like: Kushview Element acts similarly to a mixing board in a DAW by hosting VST, VST3, AXX, AU plugins with an easily understandable GUI. ![]() It can also accept external audio via ASIO for processing. For Windows it can be setup as an audio device so all Windows sound is routed through JRiver Media Center's DSP. Besides its own filters, it also supports convolution filters from Audiolense, Acourate, RePhase, and DRC with automatic sample rate matching. JRiver Media Center supports crossovers for Windows, macOS, and Linux with up to 32 channels of DSP. CamillaDSP cross-platform IIR and FIR engine for crossovers, room correction etc. ![]()
