rmcjfrank Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Anyone use Wine or an emulator to run LOR on a Mac? I understand I can use boot camp to run Win 7, but looking to run within the Mac environment. Wine looks very complicated, and I tried Crossover but got an error. Am trying out a Macbook Air for travel (and want to program while on the road). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greentree38 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Parallels Desktop is sold at the Apple Store.... You can run it in Coherence mode where you just see your Mac stuff and can open Windows Apps.... I think it's about $120 and then you add the windows operating system...Does anybody know if there will ever be a Mac Version?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greentree38 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Same!! A full Mac version would still be easier though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Saul Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I will sometimes edit in Parallels, the 2560 x 1600 helps But I've never tried to run a show from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcjfrank Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks all, think I have it working for now with bootcamp and win7...but will check out Parallels when I get my hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3955 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Parallels is much better....you don't have to reboot the computer. Nice to have Windows running in it's own little window, or in coherence mode windows and Mac apps just live together in the same screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
