i use a macbook pro, although i cheat (parallels with windows vista)

ecuflash runs native in mac, evoscan needs windows.

I have a new macbook, because windows could not cut it and sucked horribly and I am frustrated I waited so long to make the switch lol.

Anyway, I was curious about this too and I remember reading there is tuning program to use for evos on macs, but I do not know the name. I am pretty sure evoscan requires windows. You could purchase one of those mini pc's (the $300 ones) and use it purely for tuning and traveling because they are extremely portable because of their size.

i switched a few years back cuz windows does give you a headache sometimes.

There is also a logging app called mitsulogger or maclogger...... something like that, and its for macs but i could never get it to work right...... that was a while ago tho so maybe they fixed it

p.s. those mini laptops suck to see maps on if you are using the tephra v7 roms. You can't see all of the maptracer feature in evoscan either so i would go a bit bigger if possible

download virtual box for free.
get a legit copy of windows to install on your sandbox.
download ecuflash and evoscan

and voila you are logging and tuning and flashing with your mac

good luck !!!

I suspect you're thinking of donour's MacLogger:

There's also an older version of EcuFlash (1.38) for MacOS as well, also mainly thanks to donour's porting work:
