Hi DIGGEI I play it on a MAC but under windows.


I have tired windows xp with SP2 and Vista both work great and very smooth. If u need help u can email me. Open bootcamp in utilities and follow the steps...
By the way don't try to install windows xp with SP3 it will fail. U can install win XP with SP2 and then upgrade to SP3

To install and set up Windows on your Mac, you’ll need:

¦
An Intel-based Mac computer, with the latest firmware updates installed

¦
A USB keyboard and mouse, or a built-in keyboard and trackpad

¦
Mac OS X version 10.5 or later (the latest version of Mac OS X is strongly recommended)

¦
At least 10 GB of free space on the disk you’re installing on

¦
A licensed copy of Windows XP Home Edition or Professional, or Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate

Important: You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc. Service pack 2 is required for Windows XP installations. Do not install an earlier version of Windows XP and attempt to update it later to service pack 2. Use only 32-bit versions of Windows.

thank you very much Nadim,
I will follow your instruction.
As a matter of fact I am very tired of windows and all the troubles it' causing to me since late 80' and was very bound to "switch" to MAC...
but could not do without Arcade (so far...)...and sure..i could install windows on a Mac side by side to MAC-OS but I suppose i will incurr in the same problems as before...or not?
i found in advertisment that wmvare is an emulator for running wondoww programs on a Mac without installiing Windows...anything about that?
(consider that the only wondows program i would use is Arcade....)
Sure the best would be a version of Arcade suitable for MAcOs..but it doesnt seem near , so far...

Thanks for great help mate

Any emulator program will be very slow when it comes to running graphic intensive games compared to running them on a Computer running windows natively. Give bootcamp a try it's part of MAC OS just make sure that you meet all the requirements. I don't know which problems you are talking about. Your windows partition will be exactly the same as any other PC running windows. If you intend to write files on the windows partition you should format it FAT32 not NTFS. If you do it NTFS u will only be able to read it from MAC ( unless u install additional software) ... Good Luck

The mac version of 3D Live Pool will be released soon, however it's an offline version. AT will steadily support multiple platforms in the future.

Great news Guan i'll be glad to test it if u want.

THX so much Nadim !!!!
THX so much GUAN!!!
I'm looking forward the complete version for MAc and i offer my support as a tester, from now, for the standalone version!!!!

I really wanna get rid of windows/vista/xp etc.. etc.. ( after 25 yrs of screaming out at it!!! )

Let us now when the great moment comes!!!

P.S. for NAdim... i tried Arcade with wmvare on a Mac and, as you correctly stated, it lacks lo much in graphics that i agree i will use bootcamp and install XP or Vista
(btw...any problem with Vista + Arcade????)

ciao
Diggei

long life to Arcade on MAc!!!!

forget the question about vista - you already answered me about that...
