I currently just bought an apple computer to use for school. I was wondering if there was a quick and easy way to get SubSpace running on it? I would prefer not to use bootcamp or another product like that since I do not have Windows XP readily available. Or if so, is there a quick and safe way to get it for free with a crack or something? Please! Any help would be welcomed right now! I sure hope one of you can help me! Thank you so much!

Lots of love,
Left_Eye

No, Continuum is Windows-only due to its heavy reliance on DirectX. It can be run on Linux through Wine, but nothing else.

The commercial version of wine might be worth a try as that has mac support.

You can download a trial version. Its only like $30 to buy.

If you've got an Intel Mac, you can use parallels. As doc said, there's also Darwine for the PPC based Macs, that will run like a !@#$%^&* due to the Direct X requirements - however, if you've got an Intel mac you can get Continuum running on it, and it should run fine natively - but it will no doubt require some cracking as Continuum isn't a basic console or one-screen application.

I'll be getting a Macbook hopefully very soon, so I can try and get something done - good luck.
