Midnite application running in Linux

The one redeeming feature of 10 is that it is not as slow as 8.
Still prefer XP over any of them and Linux over all of them!

I'm out of my league a bit. I only have an android phone.

is there any possibility of upgrading via android using this apk?

AFAIK, updating the firmware in a Classic requires direction connection with a USB cable.  Unless something has changed and there's a network-based firmware updater now.  Not sure an Android phone supports serial link commands over USB.  If I knew what the Classic uses to communicate over serial link I'd attempt it at the command line with just a simple bash shell script.

Probably the main reason I stick with the mac environment regardless of it being pricey. The OS.

My wife has her MacBook Pro and likes it.  OS X is ok, but it's like Windows in one way - it is commercially packaged and you do it the Apple Way or No Way.  That sort of turns me off on it.  The last Mac I had was a PowerBook G4 and I ran that right up to the end of when they stopped supporting PowerPC and went to x86.  When I sold it on eBay several years back it had PowerPC Debian in it.

Sure. I have used linux. Nothing wrong with it. I would classify it more as an OS for those who really want to learn nuts and bolts of getting it all to work. OSX is for those that either do not or simply do not have the knowledge to tinker with theirs os. I'm happy with OSX just working.

I was able to get it running on my desktop running mint linux. Pretty straight forward so far. Got to unlock the classics and see if I can write to them now

Looks like I have all the functionality I had under windows, except the Local App runns about 3x faster

Hey
some news about a new App? Long time gone

Just tried ... installed Air in Wine on a Mint18/64bit
then the Local App - first thought, it looked well
but can connect a classic, open up the window with the gauges,
after some seconds it is like frozen
sometimes can enter the serial number, so i could access the classic, and if it tries writes data to classic,
game over. "connection closed" or keeps "frozen"

[binkino]

Possible a way for other users?

We can not use Air+wine - so I played around after changing from XP to MINT18/64bit
I am not new on this, but never worked enough with it, so I find out some things, other for sure allready know, but if this help will help some one, time was not wasted.


In Linux you can get Oracle VM VirtualBox for free (search in the software depot of your distribution)  + the  additional expansion here, http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.18/ if you want to use adaptive sreenresolution (really best thing ever)

Take a image of an XP or install it fresh without any extra programs into an virtual HDD and install in it the Air and App
You can reduce the screen resolution to a minimum, (800x600 is ok) just big enough for showing the app
Or change to "seamless mode"* (menu shortcut is HOST+L --- it can do it automatic after start if wished)
That works also great, so long as we don't have someting really better usefull. On Android also no update, not working better, just useless.
You have the windose in the background and only see the local app, best emu ever so long.
