SE4 Boot Camp

Has anyone used Apple's Boot Camp to install Windows and play SE4 on a Mac?

Dunno, but SE4 runs with only a few glitches under WINE on Linux, and given that both Linux and Mac OS X are Unix-based I'd venture a guess that WINE runs on Macs as well...

Re: SE4 Boot Camp

Boot Camp lets you dual-boot an Intel-Mac with Windows, Ed. No need for emulation or anything like that, it would run naitively.

And no, I haven't done it yet. My Apple laptop is of the PPC variety, and not enough spare cash to justify getting a shiny new x86 variety.

I just installed SEIV on my Intel Mac Mini (using Boot Camp) and, aside from problems with the audio driver, the game is running fine and fast.

I keep up with all my PBW turns at the cottage using a Pentium 1; 166mhz lappy with 48 megs of ram and a 2 gig disk.

I play SE4 on a Transmeta 925Mhz Crusoe laptop with 368MB of ram. It beats the crap out of the Pentium 166Mhz, but that's about it.
