HP Tuners + Mac Book ???

SOCAL.M6.ZLE · 03-21-2024, 04:18 PM

Hey guys... I know HPT is NOT MAC Compatible... But I was wondering if anyone is running any emulation software like Parallels in order to use HPT on a Mac Book?

I need to replace my old PC, and use a MAC professionally, and would prefer a switch in that direction, but was worried about issues. I reach out to HPT but never heard back.

Thoughts?

I run HPT on Mac using parallels, and have ran it on both the old Intel Macs and the new M1, M2 Macs. It actually runs windows in parallels better than my 4000+ dollar engineering laptop for work.

Current 14" MacBook Pro has no issues connecting over USB to HPT / flashing etc.
I'm also using it to connect to OBD using Engineering suspension software to recalibrate Mag Ride etc.

I run HPT on my mac when I travel. I use VMware Fusion to launch a VM withing the Mac OS rather than trying to dual boot parallels or the other options. Works great and no issues. Best solution in my opinion if you must have a Mac.

Hey since it's basically the same question... for those running Macbooks, have any of you successfully used Cosworth Toolbox?
