| City of Heroes on Leopard (Without Bootcamp) |
|
|
|
I recently received an Apple Mac Mini from my older brother (Shadoblade), and I was wondering if is possible to run CoX on the mac software without having to use bootcamp and reboot over to Windows? I don't mind doing it too much, but I would really rather stay as far away from all windows software as possible, and rebooting is kind of a hassle.
I read a few posts on the official forums about it, they said it runs well and is possible, but none of em said how to actually do it. (figures)
So any information or input would be very mucho appreciated.

You can uses parallels or VMware Fusion, which allow you to open up windows like an internet window or word or something like that. But you have to buy that software and it isn't very good for playing games on. Bootcamp is the best way to go, you just need to buy the windows xp or vista software and install it.

Yeah, I have bootcamp. What im asking is if theres a way to run CoX on the apple software. I really don't like using windows, especially on an apple computer.
Looks like I'll just have to slide back to WoW. Oh well.
