Possible to play Morrowind/Oblivion on a Mac through some pr

Post » Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:07 pm

Well I have multiple computers, a PC and a few Macs, and on the computer I am mostly on is a Mac for school as it's MUCH more convenient for things that I do, and I'd really like to play Oblivion and MW on them, but everytime I want to do that, I have to turn my computer off..turn it back on..hold the apple key..pick the windows partition before boot up..wait for THAT to log on..etc..
It's just an ordeal and I'd really like to be able to play without doing all that. Is there some sort of program that lets you play windows games for the PC on the Mac? Like boxer lets you play DOS games on a non DOS system?

Also, please don't link to anything illegal, if it's illegal, I don't want to do it.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, my windows partition was bought legally and I paid for it, so I did nothing illegal like most people do.

The only alternative to boot partitions that I know of is emulators, and you're both getting to shady legal territory and poor performance territory with those.

I don't know what that is/means, could you provide a link for me?

Yes. There are a couple of other applications that have a similar function, such as Fusion.

Ultimately, however I think there must be some loss of fps compared with using bootcamp.
