MacOS – Are there any GameBoy Advance emulators for OS X Lion

Hamrick VueScan

This is a "Swiss-Army-knife" scanning application that supports hundreds and hundreds of makes and models of scanners, even many obsolete ones which don't have direct Mac OS X support.

Download and evaluate the trial version.

I use it with my Brother MFC-6490CW, which does have Mac OS X drivers, but I'd rather use VueScan than use the Brother or Apple scanning software. Although VueScan has TWAIN support, I use it as a stand-alone scanning solution to output PDF, TIFF and JPEG.

Mac OS isnt quite like Windows or Linux in that aspect, you cant run a "bare bones" version of Lion, nor a "Starter" version. Mac OS X Lion comes in a single version with all features.

As of minimum system requirements, Apple is pretty straight forward with that too. You need a mac with Intel Core 2 Duo at least. You also need 2GB of RAM, but I'd say most macs with a Core 2 Duo already have that covered. If not you can upgrade your memory.

To check your hardware click on the Apple Menu, select About This Mac, and then More Info.

As for apps, most apps just require you to be running a certain OS. Usually just games or heavy professional apps require minimum processor speeds/RAM memory.
