Anyone out there tried running Eve on a Mac using a Windows emulation program? Did it work reasonably?

No, but I slept at a holiday inn express last night.

For the benefit of anyone seriously looking at this thread:
Tried it on a laptop, didn't work. Maybe someone with a really top of the range Mac might get it to work, otherwise there is just too much memory and processor speed lost in a processor running an operating system running a program which emulates another processor.
OpenGL rules!

When it comes to playing PC games on a Mac I'd advice against it. I have a G5 Mac as my primary system for several reasons: security, speed and since I'm an editor my NLE of choice is Final Cut Pro.
But when it comes to games you're safer to keep a PC around as opposed to trying an emulator like Virtual PC. Games are so graphic and processor intensive that so matter the horse power of your Mac the emulator just won't be able to keep up. PC's that run Mac emulators suffer the same sluggish performance.
Stick with proprietary software. It prevents the headaches.

Note that even if you did, you'd be running it on HARDWARE EMULATION... this is a very bad thing
it's hard enough (never managed) getting EVE to to run on a Linux machine which runs an x86 processor (the kind of processor the EVE binaries were written for), on a PPC system, you would need to run a program which emulates the x86 processor.
This will not be kind to your CPU

That's what I meant. My bad. Thanks for the clarification.  |
