If it works, yes. If not, no ;)

Using WINE you should be able to get the game running as of recently.

Post by **Toonces** » Wed Aug 06, 2008 3:25 pm

Let us know how it goes, we're hoping the answer is "yes"...

Just glad an Admin answered. I would have moved this to a different section.

Good luck.

"Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.

Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris."

Being a Linux user myself, I'm ashamed at myself for not knowing that Wine also works on OSX.

Wine is able to run most Windows program, although there always that occasional trouble program that won't run. I heard that GameGuard won't work in it, or was it Punkbuster... I cannot seem to recall.
