Apple have just released their big yearly Mac update, this year called “Big Sur,” ย and Genki English is now fully compatible if you decide to download it to your current Mac! ๐
No upgrade charges, all you need to do,ย If you haven’t done so already, ย is to download the free new “Elmedia Player” :
- Download the free Elmedia Player from the Elmedia website.
- Select File -> Open and open the Genki English MENU.SWF file.
Fingers crossed that will keep your Genki English working for a long time to come on your Mac! ย And as always do be careful with Mac updates as they often do break a lot of other, non Genki English, ย programs you might use everyday. ย ( My music Mac is still on Mojave!)
Be genki,
Richard
P.S. ย Windows users, as usual, ย have nothing to change, just click the “1 Start Here.exe” file. ย We don’t use any of the installed Flash Players. ย ๐
P.P.S. ย If you want your students to use the Genki English songs on their iPhones, Android or iPad, ย the online GEMS system is for you with a 60% discount for VIP teachers. ๐
P.P.P.S. ย There is also a version of theย Elmedia Video Player from the Mac Appstore.ย however it hasn’t been updated to the latest version yet so use the download link mentioned above.
P.P.P.P.S. ย ย Apple also have some new MacBooks out with a new “M1” chip. ย ย Whilst Genki English *should* work fine on those, ย we can’t 100% guarantee those until we get them fully tested.
