ETKA 7.2v5
« on: 10 March 2011, 00:15 »
After not succeeding in sourcing a copy of ETKA, I've just managed to buy this for the tidy sum of £1.04 on eBay +99p for postage so happy with that one!  :cool:

So you haven't had it yet Adrian? Yes you can get it of eBay. We will have to see if this version works won't we?

No. No joy with my last attempt. Fingers crossed for this one.

If you need a hand, I can probably give you some pointers. I'm running it on VMWare on a Mac Book Pro and am having to run a Windows XP emulator in a Windows 7 Professional environment. So, an emulator in an emulator. Why they can't revise the code base to make it run on a reasonably modern machine is just annoying.

ETKA uses an Emulator for Hardlock I don't think its the same as what your talking about. ETKA 7.2 doesn't run on Windows 64bit systems.

Would it not be easier to run a dual boot of xp and mac osx using boot camp, thats what i did for my ford dreamscience software, you can spec a dual boot partition from as little as 5GB which isnt much at all really.

Booting into xp then is just a case of resetting the mac and holding the option key to select which os you want to boot to.

You can't easily download ETKA 7.3.

I see that some fool is trying to sell ETKA 7.2v5 2010 for £10,000,000  :grin:

Even more worrying is he has already sold one at that price!  :shocked:
