How to play in a MAC?
« on: April 22, 2007, 02:49:20 pm »
I use a MacBook and I've just been told that it is possible indeed to play on it, but I don't know how!
Please help me!

Perhaps an emulator or something downloadable?

Sorry, but MM said he hates Macs and won't release a version available with it.
Where did he say he hates Macs?

Yes, you can play Soldat on your Mac, just not natively. As you mentioned, you need a Windows emulator. Try Google to find one.

By natively you mean like not so often?

By like you can't play it on a Mac OS. You can't just install and play. You need a Windows emulator.

There's bound to be some tutorials on emulator sites.

Remember: Google is your friend.

First of all I want to know if when I download this emulator, I'll run Windows or MAC, or inside MAC I'll open this program and can run .exe and stuff?

Umm....it's not an Intel Mac?

Or is it?

If so, then Parallels Desktop came with it. And you can run Windows on it.

However, if you REALLY want to get it working, use Ubuntu Linux on your Mac. Then it should end up working if you follow the instructions.

David, if your Mac can dual boot with a Windows install on it as said above, I have an unopened OEM Windows XP Home Edition I can give you. PM me on the !EliteCTF site if you're interested.

Bootcamp is a well known and well working one, as far as I know.

But what I don't understand is that if I download that program, just that program will run, or will like switch?
