Anyone using a Apple Mac with Hoster

Look at the same webpage for Vista settings. It now has the differences on it for Windows 7 as well.

Found it - thanks

OK so I made all the changes recommended for Windows, turned off Aero, etc. and Hoster is still sweeping slow. On the default "0" the music is so far ahead of the lyrincs the singing on a known song has started before Hoster stops drawing the song splash screen. I've tried setting the offset as far as it will go negative and it's still behind the music. I really had hoped to get this to work. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Deeter, you are in "uncharted waters" here. MTU doesn't support any Mac operating systems. This set-up (Parallels desktop running Windows 7 Pro) may be ok for things that do not require hi speed syncronization. Consider that when you are running this emulation you also have the Mac O/S and who knows what else running in the background to acomplish this.
We don't even know if the controls for this emulation are the same as an Intel Windows 7. If some of those controls are not turned off your sync will be off.

Yeah, I realize I am in the tall grass here. Since I am purely a recreational Hoster user, it's not super-critical to get this working immediately. I am on the way to China for 3 weeks, but when I get back I'm going to try to get Hoster going- maybe using bootcamp and XP if I have to. I'd sure like to make this work on the mac, but if I have to I'll pick up a barebones laptop just for Hoster.
If anyone has any helpful hints about how best to configure Parallels, I'm all ears!

You can change the sweep settings to try to sync it up under the Tools Menu\Options. Select at least -0.25 and that should help, keep going lower if its still out of sync until you find a good median that seems to work for you.

Bryan-
Thanks for the help but that's not working. I've set it as low as -2 and it still runs behind the music. I'm getting close, though, by playing with the screen resolution and the offset. I was able to get a pretty close match by setting the screen resolution at 1024x768 and running a -.5 offset. The behavior at those settings is as follows- the lyrics page shows up, then there is a slight hesitation on the first line of lyrics then the rest are in sync. It does this on each page of lyrics.
As I said, I think I'm getting close. When I get back in country I think bootcamp and XP is the next thing to try. I hoped to get it working in Parallels since I have 2 full gigs allocated to the virtual machine.
