macmarauder Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 needs G5??? i ran Virt PC on my old B&W G3.anyways that must be the new one, no there is no one that free. not yet anyways, they're working on it now. maybe if you can be a little more specific about which programs you want to run it can find you free mac ones. games are the only real problem on macs 90% of everything else i find a mac version for doing the same job.

jcl Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 You could try Bochs or QEMU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macmarauder Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 very interesting finds. i shall definitely check them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheLetterK Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Virtual PC is really the only viable option at this time. If Virtual PC is considered a turtle, then EQMU and bochs are considered crippled snails.Emulation is a poor solution; find native programs. There are few tasks that absolutely require the use of an emulator of Macs.What are you trying to do that requires Windows so badly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
