Updated 21 March, 2002.
On March 24, 2001, Apple, Inc. released its newest version of the MACINTOSH operating system MAC OS X (pronounced MAC OS ten). MAC OS X represents a significant change from previous operating systems (for example, MAC OS 8.x and 9.x), and sports a new graphical user interface, along with some major improvements to the underlying OS core. The MAC OS X core, based on a UNIX kernel, includes improvements to stability and performance, such as protected memory, preemptive multitasking, and symmetric multiprocessing. For more detailed information on MAC OS X go to http://www.apple.com/macosx.
Many applications written to work with MAC OS 9.x or earlier do not run natively on MAC OS X. To help bridge these operating systems, Apple will also ship MAC OS 9.x with MAC OS X. With MAC OS 9.x installed, MAC OS X launches OS 9.x when an OS 9.x application is started for the first time (this is referred to as running an application in Classic mode).
For KODAK digital camera users, it is important to note that MAC OS X does not support serial connections, and KODAK USB digital camera drivers from MAC OS 8.6 and MAC OS 9.x applications are not currently supported, even in Classic mode. What this means is that any MACINTOSH digital camera connection software developed by Kodak does not work with MAC OS X. Kodak image editing and printing software (for example, KODAK Pictures Now Desktop software), as well as third-party software that does image editing and printing, will work in Classic mode.
MAC OS X includes Image Capture Application that works with digital cameras supporting Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP or ISO 15740), including the KODAK EASYSHARE DX3900 and DX3215 Zoom Digital Cameras, KODAK EASYSHARE DX3700 Digital Camera, KODAK DX3600 Zoom Digital Camera, KODAK DX3500 Digital Camera, KODAK DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera, KODAK mc3 Portable Multimedia Device, and future KODAK cameras. Apple also includes native MAC OS X Image Capture Application support for KODAK DC220, DC260, DC265, and DC290 Zoom Digital Cameras (see Image Capture Application). With the release of MAC OS X v 10.1 on September 29th, 2001, the Image Capture Application now includes support for the KODAK DC240, DC280, DC3400, and DC5000 Zoom Digital Cameras.
This following table contains compatibility information for all recent KODAK digital cameras shipped with MACINTOSH software:

DC4800 Beat Piston Honda with one punch. In the second fight against Piston Honda it is possible to win the bout by scoring only one punch. Dodge his punches but don't retaliate. Then when he goes into his Piston Punch routine, hit him in the stomach like in the first fight. Cheats are user contributed and may or may not work for you. Whenever possible the cheats have been tested. Some cheats may work for some people and not others due to differences in game revisions or differences in hardware used to play the game.

Using MAC OS X Image Capture Application
The Image Capture Application in MAC OS X v 10.1 lets you do the following:
- Open the Image Capture Application or a user-selected application when the camera is connected.
- Transfer some or all files from the camera to the computer.
- Open a user-selected application after file transfer.
- Rotate images during transfer.
- Delete images from the camera.
- Delete images from the camera after transfer.
- Set the camera's date and time to the computer's settings.
- Resize images after transfer.
- Create a Web page after transfer.
Note: The Image Capture Application provides no camera control or properties information, and does let you transfer files from your computer to the camera.
KODAK USB Card Reader Compatibility
If you use the KODAK USB Picture Card Reader to transfer your images to a MACINTOSH computer, the card reader does not work either natively or in Classic mode in a MAC OS X environment.
KODAK PALMPIX Compatibility
KODAK PALMPIX Software relies on PALM Computing Desktop software developed by PALM Computing. PALM Computing has information on running Palm Desktop software in classic mode on OS X at: http://www.palm.com/support/macintosh/mac_compatfaq.html .

Check out the new macam wiki! Hopefully this can become a useful tool for all users.
macam is a driver for USB webcams on Mac OS X. It allows hundreds of USB webcams to be used by many Mac OS X video-aware applications. The aim is to support as many webcams as possible.
In addition, macam also supports downloading of images from some dual-mode cameras. macam especially tries to support those cameras not supported by Apple or by their manufacturers. Windows 7 iso to usb.
macam consist of an application and a component. Run the macam application to verify whether your camera works with your Mac and your USB setup. The component is the actual driver that allows other applications to access the video-stream. (note: iChat does not recognize most USB webcams unless you install iChatUSBCam - this is shareware unrelated to macam)
Many thanks to the spca5xx/gspca Linux webcam driver project, especially Michel Xhaard and friends. Their hard work and helpfulness have made many of the recent advances possible.
If you have a camera and Mac OS X, please help out by testing and reporting the results. Thanks!
