Paulo Greimel Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Today I was playing with Xcode 2.4 and discovered a very nice utility called OpenGLProfiler. This little tool makes some applications work without a QE/CI enabled VGA. Just select the app and lauch it from the OpenGLProfiler. You also need to specify some settings. I attached some pictures of settings that worked for me. But it is very slow for some things (almost all of them), I think it could be the beginning of a solution to the non QE/CI machines (even with Leopard). Using this, with an integrated VGA AGP of 64MB, I was able to: 1. Use CoverFlow in iTunes (slow) 2. Edit photos in fullscreen in iPhoto '08 3. Launch Numbers '08, Pages '08 and Keynote '08 (In Numbers '08 and Keynote '08 3D charts won't appear on the canvas but on Pages they will. Also I can't play presentations in fullscreen in Keynote, but almost all effects and transitions will work. Exporting .key files as QuickTime Movies works fine) 4. Use iWeb (Normally, iMovie '08 won't launch, didn't test iDVD and GarageBand) 5. Use Grapher for 3D compositions 6. Use Core Image Fun House, another utility from the Xcode pack. Download Xcode 2.4 from ADC and try. Leopard users with no QE/CI could try and post the results (using the newer Xcode, version 3.0, this one come with the Leopard image). I also didn't test Dashboard. Cheers, Paulo P.S.: If it is too confusing (I don't speak English very well), tell me and I'll change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcouto Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Nice man!!! It would be a good solution for who have a geforce 8x00 series, because probably the "emulation" will be faster enough to be happy Sure I will test it. I tried it. Very nice. Now I get coherence to work at parallels. (it's not pretty fast, but it works). The only problem is that you can take advantage of this with one program at same time.

Paulo Greimel Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yep. I would try it in Leopard but my wireless don't work. It's very nice in Keynote '08, I get nice animation effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSCXP2005 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Could you possibly give a link to the tools, do you know if this would work with enabling QE/CI on VMWare Fusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjlange Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 This looks like exactly what I've been looking for, but the images in the first post seem to have disappeared, does anyone know what settings should be used? I've tried a variety of them, but none have seemed to work. If someone could help me out, that would be awesome. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Greimel Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'm receiving a lot of private messages, so I've decided to post a reply here. Last week I logged in and saw that some of you were requesting the images that are now missing in my first post. I'm really busy at school and I don't have Mac OS X installed on my notebook anymore, and that's why I am unable to re-upload the screenshots. I remeber changing many settings related to QE, many of them were some sort of "strings" you'd get by opening an inspector and dragging the ones you wanted to a box inside the own inspector. To test if the settings are correct (I think it's a combination of settings/"strings") just open iTunes and try CoverFlow. If it works, you're all set, and you'll be able to use the other apps I listed in this thread. I know it won't be a problem. People in this forum are very smart and if I made it, you guys can too.

Best wishes, Paulo Were you referring to the Custom Pixel Format option? I am trying to use this on Xcode 3, and have not been able to achieve QE/CI working on the OpenGL Profiler. The one thing I would like to know is if you were using the Custom Pixel format, what Attributes were you using? Since there are many Attributes, it would be hard to find the combination you used, especially with a lack of available screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio92 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Finally after one year and a half of no response from anyone I managed to get it working! All I did was select "Radeon X800 XT" (I don't think this matters) and check "Use custom pixel format", choosing "kCGLPFAccelerated" in the "Edit" option. Hope it helps!
