Angry [Answered] Boom! Play Mac OS game On Windows XP

Hey,

I am running Windows XP and would like to play a game that is needed to be run from Mac OS. Is there a program that i can run this game in. The file is SIT or DMG and short of buying a MAC (never happen) i couldn't find any way of running this game. I read something about running windows and Mac OS parallel but it seemed complicated and might be bad for my PC. I have tried converting, extracting it but i still can not do it. i have been working on this all day and still have not solved it, i'm getting quite upset
Any help would be great.

Thanks
Shannon

Default Re: Boom! Play Mac OS game On Windows XP

It's not going to happen, Mac games are written in Mac binary.

DMG is a Disk Image, which can be mounted in Mac OS, and SIT is a Stuffit archive, which needs Stuffit Extractor to be extracted (i think there's a Stuffit for Windows).

Either way, the contents of the Disk Image or the Stuffit Archive will be a Macintosh Binary, unless you can emulate a Macintosh, or run an (illegal) version of a PC-hacked Mac OS X - there's no getting around it.

About your recall of running XP and Mac, you could have heard about the illegal PC-Mac OS (it's called OS X 86), or you maybe the fact that Macs can run Windows XP. (Or can run XP in a virtual machine).
