Hi all,

I have an Aluminum 15" Powerbook G4... Does anyone know where I might be able to find an emulator that will allow me to use the touchpad with the scroll funtions like the newer MacBooks? (I tried to search for it, with no luck.)

Thanks in Advance,
Jason

Search Versiontracker for SideTrack. But the trackpad on your machine does not support more than one finger like the MBPs or the iPhone. All you can do is use Sidetrack to set up zones for scrolling or points in the corners for advanced clicks.

I think iScroll2 allows this... I've been doing two finger scrolling on my Powerbook for a long time now.


(BTW "emulator" only has one "m")
