Anyone tried this on a Mac running Windows?

Hi.

I'm seriously considering a Mac - maybe an iMac or Mac Pro (desktops)

I was kinda hoping to dual boot with Vista and run SH4 on it whilst working on my PC... has anyone tried anything similar?

Thank you!

I had a Macbook Pro bootcamped to Vista (later XP). It was the older one with the Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) 2.00GHz and 2GB RAM and ATI x1600 256MB video in it. SH4 v1.4 ran just fine on it at 1440x900, tho it did get pretty hot. It ran fine both in Vista and XP.

I run SH4 on the latest 24" iMac running Windows, it works perfectly. SH4 looks great I can run all the graphics settings on full at 1900 x 1200 and still get a high frame rate.

Yup. I run it on my MBP. As noted before - it can get a tad hot but that's nothing that unusual (although natively I can always just boost the revs with SMCFanControl.

All I would say is tweak the settings of your graphics card to get peak performance. Running the default Apple drivers the game was pretty awful. Grab yourself some new drivers and you'll have a ball.
