What started out as a temporary workaround (I am away from my wintel for the winter), is turning into a beautiful experience. Using Boot Camp I partitioned the internal hard drive on a Mac, installed XP SP3, installed drivers from the OSX disk, and installed SH3. The whole process took about an hour with 80% of that being the Windows install. Apple recommends backing up the system prior to partitioning; the time to do that is not included in the one hour.
Five days into it with one 25-day patrol under my belt, it works great. The only issue is with the intro movie looking funkie, and who needs it?
The iMac is a 20" with 3GB, 2.16ghz core duo, and ATI Radeon x1600. This was a stock iMac as of 2006 (except for the memory which was upgraded from 1GB).
