Title: SA:MP on a Mac
Post by: AK47 on September 05, 2013, 04:33:50 pm

Yo,

I recently showed my bigger brother when I played SA:MP and he got pretty interested but there is one problem, he got a Mac laptop.
So I wonder if anyone can pass me a full "guide" on how to install the game and get a working SA:MP on his Mac.

Cheers,

Hey there have you ever heard of "Wine" or "Cider" or even "PlayOnMac" (Like playonlinux) the allow you to run Windows files on a Unix or Linux operating system and since Mac OsX is built of of BSD (Unix) this should pose no problem with these programs just run the gta installer and samp installer and all is good

As a Mac owner, best way is to just get Windows installed via Boot Camp. This will save you a lot of trouble trying to run it through Wine. Personally, even if you do try to get it to work from Wine, it will still be worse performance than what it is equivalent on the Windows side. Simply said, Mac OS X (not Macs) is not made for gaming.

Once you get windows, You wouldn't have just one game to play. Personally I have my entire Steam Collection on my Macbook on the Windows side.
