My brother has a mac, and when we went to install PSU, it wouldn't accept it because it isn't a Mac CD.. Does PSU come for the Mac?

He was even gonna pay for a month so he wouldn't have to deal with offline >_>




Edit: Fixed a typo... Lol

Spoilers: You can install Windows on most Mac boxes

PSU wasn't made to be installed on a mac. But it can be done.

There are quite a few ways to get PSU on a mac. The way I've tried on my macbook (which did NOT work out). I used BootCamp, which could be downloaded on the Apple website, it's free. All it does is run windows on a different partition, but be sure you have ALL the right stuff to do it.

You need an Intel Based Mac, make sure you have a Windows XP WITH SP2 on it. It gives you the directions on the website.

There are also virtualization-type solutions (Parallels), if dual-booting isn't your type of thing, but I can't really say how well they'd perform. Certainly less so than a multi-boot solution like BootCamp, I'd imagine.

The game won't run natively in any version of Mac OS, of course.

Un-install Mac OS and install Windows XP on that hardware

HEYA GUYS!

Sorry, but I actually played PSU on my bootcamp enabled macbook for upwards of 6 months. It can be done (the reason I didnt play it on my INFINITELY superior Dell Inspiron E1505 is because I got the dreaded error 51) and wasnt TOO bad. There are some annoyances, especially when I knew my Dell could handle it MUCH better.

But yes, an intel based mac with Bootcamp and the proper know-how can in fact play PSU.

Do I need a windows disc to use bootcamp? -.-;

Well, technically, a CD key, as well as an installation disc, yes. Boot Camp just gives you the ability to install and use Windows on the machine--you need to provide the Windows yourself.

As A2K put it, yes and no. You will need a CD key, but obviously there are less reputable ways of getting your hands on an entire OS. Ways that arent to be spoken of.
