Title: SA:MP for mac?
Post by: Duneseek on August 11, 2011, 02:24:17 am: Hey guys, it's been a LOOONnngggg time since i've been on here. looks like a lot has changed, and everything looks awesome!
I was just curious if there's any possibility i can play on the server/get the SA:MP client for my macbook pro on Snow leopard? I read about using parallel but it would take uber long and i heard it is slow/laggy.
Thanks!

Technical questions are technical.
Moved to the correct board.

Post by: SugarD on August 11, 2011, 11:22:36 am: Just to make this a bit clearer, the only way to play SA:MP on your Mac is to install some sort of software that loads Windows natively. GTA:SA is now available for Mac OS, but SA:MP is not. If you want to run both together, suggest it on the SA:MP forums at http://forum.sa-mp.com/ (http://forum.sa-mp.com/).

Post by: Julio. on August 11, 2011, 04:53:09 pm: I know WINE (Windows Emulator) works on linux, don't know about Snow Leopard.

However, I suspect that with WINE you need to install Direct X to it as well

If it's for gaming, I agree with this.

I have a PC for stuff like this, but try CrossOver, and WINE. Bootcamp is for dual boot, so you can also try that. I've never really tried to game on Macs, besides MineCraft. I've heard that the GTA III trilogy is on Mac though. I would really recommend a PC for gaming though, but that's just me. I use my Macs for the stuff they were made for. Music, videos, and graphics design. Mac machines are not gaming machines regardless of the effort they're trying to put behind it.
