Title: Running on OSx
Post by: JoeBlo on April 17, 2014, 09:35:18 AM

Does anyone successfully run RA2 on their Mac?

I mean using a virtual process, im currently trying to engineer RA2 to run on OSx but im hitting a lot of brick walls so in the meantime I want to just be able to run the game virtually so I can continue with my other mods, etc.

I installed XP on Virtual Box but it refuses to run RA2

So who else has done it and what program did you use? just to save me going through the OS install process a bunch of times with different programs :)

I've always been very happy with the results of using the Boot Camp program that comes with OSx.

It will partition your hard drive and install a native windows OS onto it. At startup you just select which OS you want to run.

only issue is with moutain lion boot camp only supports windows 7 minimum. Which i wanted xp support to run older 3DSM programs. That and I prefer the native mac with just windows in a little window :P

I might give wine a go before I try boot camp
