TufenHuden Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I don't own a Mac-don't care to but for those who do-I've ask around at major PC stores Techs and ask if this can work and this can. It's called Virtual-PC for the Mac-vers-7 you can play games at 1024x780-and higher this has different vers to buy-XP-Home/Pro and supports G-3,4,5-Macs-I did ask at Micro Center(PC superstore)on if they had a testbed for this and they did for for vers-6-but they wipped they HD for the new Mac-Tiger OS. Just to tell you it isn't cheap-at $250.00 well even though I don't like Macs-I still looked for fellow wargammers who do-not saying anybody does-with all do respect-well maybe someone can testbed it here some links to MS about purchase and trouble shooting. I hope this helps the Mac users for Wargamming goodness..

Wicky Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 VPC doesn't work for CM as it doesn't make use of the graphics card for 3D hardware rendering. MS forum page and another [ May 22, 2005, 02:01 AM: Message edited by: Wicky ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes when I first had a dual install CMBO disk from BFC - Still it might work by VPC 8 but I suspect the cost of a G6 and software will make it a dubious proposition. We've been through this before two years ago and nothing has changed - Nov 30th 2003 [ May 22, 2005, 04:16 AM: Message edited by: Wicky ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TufenHuden Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Well got and email from this emulator: ----- Original Message ----- From: iEmulator Support To: TufenHuden Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 12:05 PM Subject: Re: Question about gamming. Hi John, Unfortunately the answer will be "no" to all three questions. There is no emulation solution available that can do what you are asking for. Believe me -- I'd like nothing better than to be able to run Half-Life 2 on my Mac, but an emulator that's able to do that is still some time away, I'm afraid.
