[QUOTE="deufeufeu, post: 21515, member: 1029"] Hi, I've got a macbook air 11" from 2011, the one with the Nvidia geforce 320M graphics card. I was afraid to buy TPA on this platform (I already own it on Vita) because of the reports, mostly from this board, from macbook users. I'm pleased to say that TPA works quite well with a solid 60fps, even when running in 1920x1200 trough an external display. The only concern is for the cooling of the MBA which is not really built for this kind of hard work. [rant on] Nonetheless I've to say that I'm not really impressed with the port. It's clear that TPA code base is based on Pinball Hall of Fame, William Collection (there's even the logic code for Taxi inside the program). With an already old code base and probably only a few devs, it's clear that those non mainstream ports (mac and pc) are doomed. The lack of options for custom controls for example would be laughable if it was not something I paid for... [rant off] [/QUOTE]
