Default SH5 - Anyone playing it on a Mac?

Sorry people if this is an old post topic, I have a new 27 inch iMac and I was wondering if I can run SH5 on it through bootcamp or through Wine bearing in mind I have the OSX 10.6.4?

No idea, but as I recall people are doing it with SH4.

I'm thinking of doing the same with my iMac near the TV (nice cause it's dead quiet, only ever heard the fan go on once during a firmware update over a year ago (was part of it to test the fan, lol).

My gaming rig is noisy as hell.

Well, Ijust spent 3 hours on Wine to find out that it won't work and it's not supported by Wine at the mo (which they did say to be fair). Looks like its Sh4 instead.

I have SH5 installed on my MacBookPro and it works well (not speaking about the bugs of the game).

I created a separate partition for the PC using BootCamp, and installed Windows XP and then the bootcamp drivers - but I think you can also install Windows7: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Good luck!

I can not answer for SH5, but I tested for SH3 and it worked
