I'm so lucky to have obtained an apple computer..
But now I want to cheat on it - and SCAR wont work on it..
I tried to get iBot to work on it, but I couldn't..
does anyone have any experience in cheating on a mac?
can I run windows on a mac?
someone :) I need help

perhaps you could get a virtual machine like VMWare and install windows on it, except you hate windows so that would just bring you back to square one :p

welcome to the one reason i wont buy a mac Lorax :p

I have a friend whos really into macs and i'll ask him about running windows on it. He was talking about having the ability to run both windows and mac OSs on a mac. I'll see what he says

I dislike Windows, and perhaps hate it, but I must conquer my hate in the need of cheat..

then what do you run on your other comp (the one you use SCAR on)? Windows?

Yes the other one is a windows, that's why i rarely turn it on…

Do a Google search for Apple's Boot Camp (Its a dual boot utility) So then you can run windows 98 or Xp on your mac (If you feel like activation…).

Also Ibot will work on a mac due to being coded in Java (You might just have to look at the batch file and open the same file prefixed with the Java command in the JVM(Java Virtual Machine))

It sounds nice, but do you know what will happend if I install a version I previously used on another computer? - Do I need to get an entirely new windows install?
or a fake one?

xp- install it (and a few program) every 30 days on its own partition (takes me 1 afternoon every month)

Win2K-basically same as xp, cept no need to resinstall but older

98- faster with less features (I'm less familiar with tweaking it so I don't use it)

I'm too scared to get a fake/cracked one.

What you are trying to say is that I can run two copies of Windows xp - but I need to reinstall it on one of the computers every 30 days?

That's what I do. Separate partition so I only erase the OS and few programs.

Nice and if I install it on one computer then it won't affect the other one?

Nope. If you activate a copy of windows on one computer (to get full use of SP2 and vb.net and some bug fixes and not having to resinstall every month), and then try to activate the same copy on a second computer, it will see the activation code being tried on 2 computers (it can tell by sending info about components) and won't work. During activation it connects to the website and that's when they can tell if you used on 2 computers. To get around this, just don't activate. You can use xp fully (except for SP2, vb.net etc) for a month without activating, then locks you out*.

*There's a trick here to get limited and annoying use without activating here. It says view a help file or something, and you click that, which opens up internet explorer, which is also a file explorer, so you can open explorer, taskmanager, files etc, but you won't have start menu.


Edit: if your just using it for scar and rs, it will be easier for you then it is for me. Have scar, srl, scripts, maybe a firewall and AV on a usb, maybe even create an unattended xp install cd. Maybe 2 hours a month, vs 90 bucks is pretty good.

Yeah, i used that anti-activition cheat method. Works great, you say "take me to your website" or something like that, internet explorer pops up, and you can do whatever you please.

I don't know where my cd for windows xp is, but I have one for windows 95…
Can I run SCAR and runescape on windows 95?

I assume so. I've never had 95, but I know it works on 98.

What kind of Mac do you have? An Intel-Based or Power PC based? (What processor?)

swt is suppose to work on mac thus ibot should work but it may require some knowledge about how swt works on mac.
