NetCat & Mac OS X

[Sisee]

Hello.

I want to edit my Pokémon Diamond and PEarl saves to include the event items, so as to get the special Pokémon. (Platinum I'm okay due to the official events being broadcast over the internet.)

I could do this on my PC, but it died and I'm now running on an Intel Mac with OS X 10.5.8 and although I've been on it for over a year now I've never been able to get NetCat to work.

I've tried installing it via an online guide, but when I get to the stage of downloading and installing NetCat itself through the Terminal it doesn't.

I really don't want to install Windows on my Mac, so any help, I'd be greatly appreciative.

I have been trying to use SavSender, but don't know if I should be using SavSender 1.1 or an alternative for this.

If there are any stand alone apps or easier alternatives to this, I'd be open to suggestions.

For example I own 2 DSs and 2 Flash Cards, is there a way of sending my save from my proper Pokémon to the SD card of the other DS with a Flash Card in it?

PS, I've followed guides online for NetCat, and they all end up the same way. And frankly are hard to follow.

If anyone has a step-by-step of their personal experience in getting it working, that would be better.

Thanks.

I don't know what NetCat is, but I run Pokesav on my Mac.

There's an application called CrossOver that you can use to run most Windows apps on Mac. Pokesav works, but legal.exe and the PID/IV Generator are some things that don't work...

It's not free, but you can get demos for 30/60 days.

You can also download Darwine (a Mac port of Wine) which is free and allows you to run most Windows apps on a Mac. Pokesav is a great example because it doesn't require any external files to run the program.
