Anyone was able to run this on unsupported OS?

from Sins Forums
Just wondering, I am considering moving to Mac or Linux.

Was anyone able to run this in a virtual Win host on a mac OS OR via WINE in Linux?

My investment in games likes these is the only thing keeping me on Windows....

Works on Bootcamp. That's all I know. Hardly fair because I don't know of anything on the Intel Macs bootcamp that does not. Still.

mac and windows are pretty compatible. my brother runs half-life 2 for windows on a mac os and it works fine. you should be able to run it on mac but im not responsible if it doesnt work. you can always ask the devs to make a windows to mac compatibility patch.

And don't you know Micro$oft knows it too, lol
That's why they've poured da big bucks into games, games development and platform development

I've not tried WINE in Linux but I doubt that it will run well. You could try something like VMWare or the free VirtualBox but the game (or any game) will probably not run well.

The game works quite well on a partitioned MAC (aka Bootcamp) but keep in mind many games leave a large footprint of diskspace and you may not be able to keep many games on your Windows Bootcamp.

I've uninstalled all other games and have only Sins!

Someone has a guide here on how to run it under WINE.
