Silkroad on a mac

[Pure_Vigilante]

Is there a way to do this?
I remember seeing a post about it about 2 years back but can't seem to find it now.

Short answer: no, not until someone updates WINE.

Long answer: Maybe, somewhat, but I haven't tested past a certain point that involves uncool 3rd party stuff.

@Tasdik thanks

@_Equal_ what do you mean update WINE?

[Atibu]

bootcamp, or parallels fusion. Otherwise wine does work on linux, no idea if it is working on a mac though for silkroad

1. make partition on mac 2. bootcamp that shit with xp or 7 3. download/install sro 4. Play

thats how i have been doing it for 3 years and works perfect for me

To make it work with a mac actually gives you profit:

1. Sell it
2. Get a PC
3. Profit
4. Play SRO



I feel like a troll today

Silkroad works in wine on Linux just tested it.

Is this true? Winehq's appdb (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3195) lists Silkroad as "Garbage". So someone updated wine? Maybe winhq didn't get updated? Last I knew, there was some kernel-level feature or something missing in wine that GameGuard (or whatever Silkroad uses) expects to see when it loads. That prevented SRO from running on wine in Linux the last time I tried. That was sometime back in the Spring I believe. If SRO is working in Linux again via wine, that is GREAT!

If it works in Linux, I'd think it should work in OS X as well if you use updated wine libraries. I'm not a Mac user though so who knows.

To all the people suggesting running XP under boot camp on the Mac... That's not the same thing. That's just running SRO in Windows on Mac hardware. I would think people would want to run SRO without having to reboot. Still be able to run other OS X apps while running SRO.
