iMaster 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 Well, you can get the official version off Steam. But it won't support the mod, obviously. I've experimented with Crossover Games to no avail, so your best shot is to use Parallels or Bootcamp with XP or another lightweight Windows and stick to that. I have an MBP 2010 17" + a 22" Asus TFT screen, I run parallels on the second screen in a window so I can play anytime I want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RG 1 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 Some do. But if you have a ton of Windows games, teh best option is to run Windows as a secondary OS or as a virtual machine (Parallels) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted August 9, 2011 I'd recommend bootcamping with Windows 7 or XP instead. Would spare you most of the problems Parallels and VMware may have. You can do something like mine where my Windows in my Macs are customized to be for gaming reasons only -- i.e. the taskbar is hidden, and the desktop icons are also hidden, and the thing visible in your desktop are a dock app for your games and some nifty desktop gadgets. If it is just for old games, however, Parallel or VMware would do. You can try and check videos of games tested out in Parallel or VMware in YouTube for reference. :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
