Does anyone wish that combat arms could be for the Mac cuz i know i want it to because i have had a mac for years and have never been able to get those game that i just really want to get. Does anyone know how i can contact nexon so i can address this problem to them. I mean a lot of people have macs and the number of people that would use combat arms would increase tremendously. If you agree leave a post.8)

More than 90% of the PC Market is owned by Windows, and its a LOT of work to get the compatibility to work on Macs...I really doubt it'd happen

Boot Camp as a product is now for sale, but you can find the free beta of it online if you look around.

If you've had this same Mac for "years", then you probably have a PowerPC processor. If that's the case, you won't be able to use Boot Camp, though you may be able to run Combat Arms under Wine.

Not only does a very, very slim market share use macs, but the number of mac users in Korea where the game was made is even more miniscule. Nexon would laugh in your face at the suggestion.

80% of computers are PCs

Still not enough for them to port it.

Just get BootCamp and play all the games we can play =)

Sorry I'm new to this website

If you have an Intel Mac you can run boot camp. If you have a Powerpc you can run Mac OS only and also are very limited in your games.

Even at the Macgamestore you have to check the requirements because many of the new games require an Intelmac.

So if you have a fairly new Mac and can run windows you can play pc games.

You must have Leopard to install Boot camp and Leopard now comes with a boot camp set up assistant and supports Vista and Windows XP.

I know this is an old forum, but I am putting this down for anyone that stumbles upon it. 1. It is hard to port a game to Mac, but wrapping it with a program like cider is simple. Google Cider for Mac. 2. Boot Camp is a free utility found in the /applications/utilites/ folder of all intel macs. It helps you dual boot and install drivers for windows xp, vista, and 7. Using it legally requires a purchased copy of windows, which is very pricey. 3. Wine, and programs similar to it, like Darwine, are normally glitchy and unstable when running windows applications. Sometimes wine will fail to install a program, and setting it up requires use of the command line, difficult for many people. 4. Programming for Mac is very simple. You can build straight .C files and compile them from the command line with GCC, or you can use Apple's two programming languages, objective-c and Cocoa, and use apple's xcode developer program, with a gui compiler, and Interface Builder, a gui to design simple user interfaces.
