Prime95 doesn't run on Mac

kolen · 2013-04-06, 22:57

I have a Mac and I dual boot it in windows. Prime95 doesn't run on Mac but runs fine in Windows. I tried 27.9, 27.7, 26.6 and nothing works.
When I run prime95 (by double click), the app "pops", but nothing comes out. So nothing happened after I run the program. No programs shown, no errors shown.
I also tried that on my another Macbook Pro, and it still doesn't work.
The instruction in the website is very simple, it just ask me to open the app. Is there additional steps I need? Any other thing I need to install?
Thanks.

Try double-clicking the program's icon again after it has been launched.
This should open a window for configuration.

Oh. It's related to the app I used to unzip: keka. I don't know why after I use another unzip app things are fine...

I am experiencing the same problem. What app did you use to unzip in order for Prime95 to work on Mac? Thanks!

Mac has built in Archive Utility app for zip/tgz/etc - just right-click on the zip and go to the "open with" submenu.
