Amiga emulation combination for Macbook
« on: September 28, 2009, 01:18:05 PM »
Afternoon all.

I'm a long term user of Amiga Forever and love it.  However I no longer have a PC and have gone Mac / Amiga only lol.

My Mac is the MacBook Alluminium 2.4ghz Intel one and I'm not wanting to Boot Camp it so was wondering what you all think the best mix of emulation software would be to run on the Mac?  I'm using Snow Leapord.  

I don't think there is anything as sweet as Amiga Forever for the Mac but whatever recommendation you make - I will give it a go.

Thaaaaanks :)

Cool - thanks for the update. I'll give that a try. I actually have Parallels but not installed it yet.  My Mac is a unibody one too but can't remember if it is 2.16 or 2.4 ghz but it only has 2gb ram.  Might try and upgrade the ram (which I think means replacing the ram already in it - what a waste!).  On a seperate note, have you tried playing any PC games using Parallels?

Thanks Crom00, I have an Optimised XP Pro build I was thinking of using.  Persia, I read through this benchmark report between Parallels and Fusion.  Have a read - looks interesting http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.25/25.04/VMBenchmarks/index.html
