Thinking of getting DW.. Question; can it run on Mac?

Is this possible? I have a MacBookPro lap top and my specs are well within standards.. Just wondering if it is supported or not?

I run Dangerous Waters on my 15" MacBook Pro. I have a dual-boot setup with Windows XP on a separate partition using Bootcamp.

Not sure if you were asking if DW will run under MacOS X -- it definitely won't. I've tried DW on a Windows virtual machine under VMware Fusion, and it didn't quite work either (graphics issues.)

Bootcamp comes with OS X, but you'll also need to get a copy of Windows from somewhere to run Dangerous Waters.

Krauter, funny that you should ask. We've finally gotten DW working properly under Linux with a program called Wine.

I do not know enough about Macs to tell you with any certainty if it will work. But, if you can get Wine installed and running on your computer then there is a good chance that you will be able to run DW.

Refer to the following link for more info: http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX

Feel free to ask any further questions in this thread. I will keep my eye on it.

Awesome.

That is exactly the reason why I was asking to be honest

I saw the thread and wondered "Oooh if they could get this running on Mac that'd be great.."

Thanks I'll check out the Wine software.
