[Intel] Any list of Universal Binaries and apps running under Rosetta?

Question

[Intel] Any list of Universal Binaries and apps running under Rosetta?

Hi!

Sorry, I'm not sure about posting into the right group, but found no other place with similar threads...

I just try to figure out if all my apps will run under Rosetta or are available as Universal Binaries (and how much will the vendors charge for them). It's really a pain...

Do you folks know any web site or forum with a "Rosetta compatibility list" and an overview about available Universal Binaries?

I will not consider a change without e. g. a working backup solution (Retrospect), AppleWorks, EyeTV and a few other apps...

Bye, Matthias

Hi Matthias,

This list is fairly complete and is regularly updated.

Hi Clint,

http://www.versiontracker.com/macintel/updates/

Shame on me: I checked out VersionTracker for special apps, but missed the complete listing of Universal Binaries. THX

Does anyone know a source for Rosetta-tested apps, as well?

I would also not that the VersionTracker page is RSS encoded so if you use an RSS reader you can see the latest additons there.

Hi Matthian,

This site doesn't have many listings but should grow as applications are tested.

Have a good weekend.

Matthias,

Perhaps someone else can comment on whether AppleWorks runs under Rosetta, but it's not likely it will ever be updated to a Universal binary.

Mike,

AppleWorks seems to work unter Rosetta (referring to

My greatest concern is Dantz' Retrospect and I haven't found a testing or even an information a Dantz' web site, yet.

But replacing my iBook with a MacBook wouldn't happen in the near future anyway...
