Hi everyone

Just in case there are any Apple Mac people out there, I just wanted to let people know that I have a 2008 iMac 24", with the 8800GS GPU, 4GB Ram, and 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo. I'm running Snow Leopard and Parallels 4.0.3846.

AND BOTH SH3 and SH4 work virtually flawlessly in a Virtual Machine!!!

Yay!!!!

Which mean I can leave them playing whilst I work, and when a contact pops up I have an excuse to stop work and 'blow sum s**t up'!!!

hehehehe

Thanks

Thanks for the information. :up:

I never have tried it on my iMac 24" with VMware. Happy to hear it works.

I use BootCamp and play it on my 15" MacBook Pro.

I just installed SHIII on a bootcamp XP parttion using a Macbook Pro, works great except for some of the key bindings and I need help.

Here is my setup: SHIII patched to 1.4b, GWX 2.0 installed along with SH Commander.

Pressing F1 brings up help and it states Numpad (+) for time compression increase and (-) for decrease ut idont have those keys on my keyboard. I have tried editing them for -&= but it is not working. Anybody know the correct syntax to enter?

Thanks

With older models in the past it was possible fn+F6. This feature has been removed with the new MacBook's Pro.

I don't use TC with numpad, just click on + and - to adjust time compression.

Some Mac portable computers have a group of keys with small numbers on them that can be used as a numeric keypad. To use these keys as a keypad, press the Num Lock (F6) key to engage Num Lock, or hold down the Fn key while you press the keys in the keypad.
