i tried to load both 2.60 and 2.61 on my brand-spankin'-new macbook pro (osx 10.7.4) and i get error messages stating that "power pc programs aren't supported blah blah blah)" it's not essential with my mpc4k but it'd be nice to have as an option.

so...am i sol or doing something wrong? works fine on my pc w/ win xp.

The incompatibility with the old Mac architectures makes it a no go on the latest OS X versions like the error message said.

In this thread it was suggested to use vmware and run an older OS X to host Aksys.

There is no solution only the work around mentioned. Use a virtual machine running osx 10.6.8 or lower or windows 7 or Xp. Or use a separate laptop running one of the operating systems above.
