| 08-18-06 / 12:07 AM : Virtualization and games : article&interview (cjed) |
| Macworld makes the point on available solutions to run Windows games on Intel Mac : Boot Camp, Parallels, CrossOver, Cider, VMware. We can also read the last interview of Aspyr's Glenda Adams at IMG, that (among other) speaks about virtualization (she said there isn't a perfect translation solution, Cider included, a mac port requires a lot of efforts to make it look like a mac app). There is also a question about the long awaited port of Deus Ex on OSX... badly not on the short list for now. |

It will be licenced to games editors to accelerate their Mac ports. The remaining problem with reside in code using workarounds to Windows API bugs... |
