JoeP Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 you must wait for a MacOS version of WINE to run CS. or a virtual machine like VirtualPC (without CPU emulation, like VPC for Windows) or VMWare (still not available for MacOS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In VMware or VirtualPC you don't have directX support=no Games. Maybe something like cedega in Linux (Wine + DirectX) will be released for OSX86 one day (hope so). At this time I still have one Windows installation for the Games, only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 "In VMware or VirtualPC you don't have directX support"... yet! direct access to the GPU has worked on mac a few years ago (RealPC). i think it would be far easier to achieve that now on a OSX86 machine, don't you? but a cedega-like thing would be better, since having a real Windows running in a virtual machine means to have the same risk of viruses & co than on a real windows machine... Don't you think Cedega has a good potential market share with Mactels? by the way, CrossoverOffice (another WINE-based company) already said they would support OSX86 as soon as possible :-) meanwhile, i use DosBox to play Worms (the 1st one), best game ever, yeepeee!!!! (but no sound :'() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but no sound :'() For my old DOS Games I use a Win95 in QEMU (the original without SSE2 support). It boots in 10 sec with sound enabled (Linux as host), DOS games are working and it's faster as my old Pentium1/W95 PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 i've been trying to remember this name (QEMU) for 24 hours gotta look for a MacOS version... if ever it exists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJägermeister Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 i've been trying to remember this name (QEMU) for 24 hours gotta look for a MacOS version... if ever it exists! It exist but just for PPC. The PPC version don't work in OSX86 (tested). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 yup, i've seen that... so we need to wait for a X86 virtual machine to come to OSX86... i've read about MacOnMac a few months ago, seems to be an OSX version of MacOnLinux (which is intended to run MacOS inside Linux on a PPC hardware), i tried to install it on my mac but it didn't work. i don't know wether it could be a good basis or not.
