Hi, I've spent the last few weeks writing a VJing patch on a shitty samsung N360 running windows 7.

I'm doing some VJing in London next week and I'm trying to open the patch on my MacBook Pro, having some issues.

Not sure if its possible to simply transfer the file and open, if the patch is compatible between two versions of PD? is this possible and if so how?

Any help would be amazing.
Thanking you in advance.
Much appreciated.

Most patches will be compatible between operating systems unless you are dealing with a) objects that only take advantages of features of a particular OS (which you'd probably already be aware of) or external objects and libraries that have only been written and compiled for certain OS's and not others (those might be less obvious). But really all you have to do is try and open the patch. If you get some "object couldn't create" errors, then it might just be that that object isn't yet compatible on OSX.

Generally speaking, though, there really aren't many objects that work on Windows but not OSX or Linux. It's usually the other way around.

Anyway, all you can do is just try it. If you don't get any errors when you open the patch, you're probably good to go.

Hi maelstorm just wondering, the person in your profile is it a photo of you?

Yeah, from about 8 years ago.

my experience espacially for gem stuff is, that there is a difference in windows and osx, for example in how they handle fullscreen options or live-cams. but also my experience is that all differences are manageble.. good luck
