This is super rad and all, but honestly once you go the virtual box route it's not even hard anymore. Getting it set up is odd, but now it takes me maybe a minute to back up my songs.

i read the whole thing and decided to just do it on windows ha ha

Were you or anyone able to back it up on mac? I tried though couldn't get it to work.

could really do with a decent step by step right now!

Thanks ant1!

maybe take out the "-Werror" switch to stop warnings being treated as errors

it should at least build then but i dunno if it will work

I installed MacPorts, downloaded the source, relocated it to my Documents folder, and got through the first two sudo commands, but I get an error when I try to "sudo make"...

sudo make
cc -g -Wall -Werror `pkg-config --cflags libusb-1.0`   -c -o ems.o ems.c
cc -g -Wall -Werror `pkg-config --cflags libusb-1.0`   -c -o main.o main.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
main.c: In function ‘main’:
main.c:403: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type
main.c:405: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type
main.c:407: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type
main.c:409: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

What did I do wrong? Thanks for any help!

as soon as you published this tutorial, i threw out my virtual machine and started using terminal. Soooo much easier and less fucked up now. thanks so much for explaining this stuff cuz when i first got my ems cart, i tried lib_usb and just got overwhelmed. It was mostly the installation process that threw me off.

anyway THANX

Whoah.

Edit: I just played with that, and I'm too far out of the loop to get it together.

It looks like platypus just compiles a nice graphical executable from a bundle of scripts. EMSFlasher is written in C, so I'm not finding an easy way to roll it up with Platypus.

Aah, good idea! If I had a Mac machine I'd definitely give this a go. Alas, I'm Mac-less.

At the risk of sounding egotistical, I reckon this should be stickied - most Mac users would be fools not to use this in place of a virtual machine!

Maybe someone could wrap this in an app with Platypus?

U need to install MacPorts first: http://www.macports.org/install.php

Ugh, perhaps I'm an idiot (forgive the bump by the way) but I'm encountering the same problem of whenever trying to use the "sudo port install" commands, it spits back at me "sudo: port: command not found"

I don't know shit about shit, what am I doing wrong?
