RJSim Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 What type of Mac do you have? Intel? What OS are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkiesel Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I would love to get mvp working on my PowerPC G4 with Mac OS X Leopard. There are some ways I have found: 1. Darwine (runs just windows apps on powerpc and intel.) 2. Q (Runs a whole windows os in powerpc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJSim Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have MVP running on my Intel iMac with OS 10.5.4. If you have an Intel Mac, it makes things a lot easier to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon48 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have a 2.2 ghz core 2 duo macbook with an Intel GMA X3100 with BootCamp running XP Pro. I've had no problems running MVP 05 or MVP 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronmexico Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 A) No piracy. I'm gonna make it simple. To run boot camp you must have an intel mac && nowadays Leopard unless you can obtain the boot camp beta which runs on Tiger. Power PC may emulate but will provide shitty results of running XP, with no DX support so you can count that out. A graphics card helps, but it runs with a hesitation here and there on a MB with 1gb ram and integrated video card. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amwarrior15 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 i dont have leopard or tiger but do have "Apple BootCamp 2.0 Drivers" but i cant seem to figure out how to install it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Drivers are just drivers, they require bootcamp to be installed before they are functional. They are made to run on XP so your mouse and keyboard and peripherals, etc are picked up by Windows too. Sorry, but OS X 10.4 or 10.5 is required to run boot camp of any sort.

amwarrior15 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 does mvp 05 work on vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yes, though the same issues are involved, the only catch being Vista would be even harder to emulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildmoon Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 What ronmexico said. I run MVP on an intel mac leopard with boot camp and have no problems at all. i tried running it with vmware fusion but couldn't get it to work, ditto with darwine. i have not tried parallels. all create "virtual machines." fusion and parallels let you run windows and mac os at the same time, but boot camp requires a reboot each time you switch from mac to windows. don't know anything about power pc.

xNc1212x Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just got a macbook and im not going to run it on this because it would hinder my space. I have seen it however working on macs using bootcamp. Ive heard almost better results from macs than pcs. Glad its even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 YAY, NC got a Macbook. I'll tell ya from personal results, I have a year n a half old macbook, so 3 processor levels down at the minimum, runs great on Macbook using boot camp, sucks on a virtual machine because thats just what it is, it's a virtual machine. I ran it at max quality and it was great, so I'd say go for it if you're planning on using boot camp. If you have ever read PC Magazines review of the Macbook it declared it the best PC Machine out there, so it is plausible that it outperforms most PC's.

Nameless Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I gotta question I got a fairly new macbook I'll say I got it this past march, and it has bootcamp but I don't have leopard..I'm currently running on VMware and it works and all but a lil sluggish at times and the graphics are not the best as you can see in the dynasty..I'm just wondering if it would work on bootcamp even though I don't have leopard..
