I got a shiny new Mac, and BoE won't run on it, because it needs Classic. But I'm persistent, and crazy, so I didn't let that stop me. I now have the Windows version of BoE running under Wine using Linux emulated by Q (mac port of Qemu), connecting to an X11 server running on my Mac. It's kind of slow, and fiddly to set up, and there's no sound, but it works and doesn't involve installing Windows on anything.

I'd say Boot Camp for your new Mac, but that's probably not what you had in mind... -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Boot Camp would require restarting to play, and buying Windows. I may well do that anyway, if I end up wanting games with steeper graphics requirements. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. New Mac BoE Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I've thought about buying an old PC in the future. Or maybe a new one, since PC games are easier to get and much cheaper. But I won't do it until my 5-year old mac dies, at least. [ Tuesday, July 04, 2006 13:59: Message edited by: Milu ] Posts: 259 | Registered: Saturday, June 1 2002 07:00 |

Sorry, but I'm a computer illiterate. How do I do that? I don't mind the no sound (I frequently turn mine off), but talk of servers scares me. I only have the one computer. Posts: 51 | Registered: Saturday, May 28 2005 07:00 |
