Hello audio friends,
up until today I've always used Crossover to open KGs and everything has always gone fine, but this morning I've found a new version that's impossible to open... the bloody .r2rwm!

Does anyone know how to open this type of .r2rwm KG on Mac Monterey Intel using Crossover (24.0.3 vers.), or can you point me to some other way or software if necessary?

Cheers for the advice and tips.

The new extension of part of the new R2R System *cue glorious fanfare*.
You need to have the R2R System installed for the new KG format to work.

And as far as I know, R2R doesn't care about Apple's ecosystem, so there is no Mac version of the system.

If it's just a call-response crack, where you need to paste one number into the KG, and paste another into the software to work, you might be able to work around it with emulating a windows environment in a virtual machine.

If it's a KG that doesn't generate anything, but just applies specific entries into the registry or somewhere else for the software to work, then you might be out of luck, as there is most likely no compatibility between win and mac in this regard.

 

You need to run some kind of virtual machine system that can open a windows application or windows operating system inside it. It will not run on a MAC natively. Die-hard MAC VMers will likely be able to answer as to the best and/or fastest options.
Parallels desktop is good for that apparently. Someone using it can better affirm that.
