Go to the GIMP on OS X download page

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), perhaps the best open-source image editor, has recently been updated to version 2.8. For more information on the changes in this release, check out http://www.gimp.org/.

The good folks at GIMP on OS X have just made a build available for OS X 10.6+. To download it, head over to http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html, and remember to donate to them to thank them for their hard work in making GIMP readily available to all of us Mac users!

Happy GIMPing!

PCSXR Latest Builds Broken Plugins Update

PCSX-Reloaded Latest

I just made the executive decision to include older, working plugins in the event that a latest build of PCSXR includes a broken plugin. This should apply to builds 68616 and on. For other builds, if you get the “missing plugin” message at launch, check out this tutorial on how to replace a missing or broken PCSXR plugin.

Happy gaming!

  • Added installation instructions for official releases of wxMupen64Plus
  • Reduced the number of visible latest wxMupen64Plus builds to 5 to reduce clutter (10 items including source)

What a cryptic title! This is just a little notice that the upgraded version of SpeedofMac.com that’s currently under development has undergone a pretty decent update. Here’s some of what you can find:

Let me know how you like the new look and what you’d like to see go up next!

PCSX-Reloaded Latest Builds Moved

PCSX-Reloaded Latest

The latest change sets of PCSX-Reloaded for Mac will now be posted at http://speedofmac.com/emulation/pcsx-reloaded.php. I’ll keep the old page (http://speedofmac.com/pcsx_latest.html) around for a while with a notice to head over to the new page.

New Website Look & Content

speedofmac_new_look

Check out a new page

I’ve been working away at a site refresh for a while now. I’ll be rolling out new pages for the updated site as often as I can. For now, you can check out the page on wxMupen64Plus, a new Mupen64Plus frontend.

Keep in mind that links on new pages may be broken because the pages they link to aren’t yet live.

If you have any feedback on the new site design, let me know! I threw it together myself, so fixing it won’t be a problem.

Theme Updated

The SpeedofMac.com Blog has undergone a facelift, adopting mono-lab‘s monochrome theme. If you like the new look, let us know. If you don’t, also let us know!

Site Update: Navigation Menu

New Navigation Menu

I’ve thrown together a new navigation menu for the site and implemented it today. I think that it looks pretty snazzy, and I hope that it makes the site easier to use. Let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, or feedback, or if you want to learn how to make one of your own!

Visual Site Update 2

SpeedofMac Visual Update 2

Yesterday, we updated the way that tutorial steps look. Why stop there? That’s what we thought! We’ve updated our site look, focusing on the main navigation menu. We think that it’s a little easier on the eyes, and we’d like to hear what you have to say!
