SH4 on a Mac?

skookum · 09-08-08, 11:18 PM

Howdy,

I'm getting an I-Mac. Has anyone had any experience here running SH4 on a Mac using Bootcamp? How well is it running? Any issues?

I saw pictures of a Itel mac running SH4 awhile back on this forum. I believe it ran pretty well with few problems.

Just make sure your Mac is up to speed in the way of RAM and it should cope OK, at least that's what the feedback said.

Goodluck!

My old man has it running on his Imac successfully, the trick is to make sure it has the Dual Boot option so when you start up the windows side it makes use of all the hardware.

His system specs are supposed to be 20inch IMac, 1 gig of ram with a X1600 Radeon GPU in it.

Hope you get it running.

Just bought SH4 Gold Edition (v1.5) today. My iMac should be here in a week. Dug out my old copy of Windows XP. And now I wait, drooling.

I have SH4 running on a MacBook Pro using BootCamp. Works very well. I'm going to try it on my 24" iMac as soon as I install BootCamp on it.

When I read the heading a mental image popped up of a sub on a burger, in between these cheese and lettuce....maybe because yesterday I got a missed call listed on my caller ID from "Ronald McDonald"...no kidding...

Then I realized hey...there is a computer out there called Macintosh...

..apple or something like that. Thats what he was talking about...:hmm:
