![]() ![]() ![]() You control two orbiting planets as they travel down a winding path. ![]() Instead, either build yourself a hackintosh with proper hardware, with a trackpad and a bt keyboard, or just go buy a used mac.A Dance of Fire and Ice is a strict one-button rhythm game. You'll be severely disappointed when you get it to work. So, my recommendation, don't waste your time. If you want to simply run some apps that are only available on Apple it could be worthwhile- but not so great for high-performance apps- so no Final Cut, Motion, Garageband, Logic etc. If you're trying to use it as a chance to test-drive the OS before deciding to buy- it will be a lame experience and not really representative of using an actual Mac. The thing opened and ran and did everythign I needed but it was unimaginably slow and didn't really work all that well with my Windows keyboard and mouse- no inertial scrolling, no Command key, no multitouch track-pad- it was like using Windows with an OSX skin on it, but with the added slowness of being a virtual machine- none of the snappy interface features or track pad gestures could work with a Windows mouse. ![]() The bigger question is why bother? I installed an OSX virtual machine on my Windows 7 desktop some years ago, back when you could buy a disk at Best Buy for $30. Otherwise, for the latest version what you'll need to do is go check around and see if you can find it from an illegitimate 3'rd party (a torrent) the new OSX, Mavericks, is free but that doesn't mean you won't be breaking the law downloading a torrent- pretty sure the copyright doesn't allow for distribution by anyone but Apple and authorized retailers. If you have a Mac you don't need a trial- you just get the OS with your computer, and if you're on Windows Apple doesn't allow installation on to non- Apple hardware. On a mac it downloads the OS straight from Apple in recovery mode and handles updates all through the app store, which, on a Windows machine you don't have access to. To install an OSX virtual machine in VmWare you need to either buy and old copy on EBay or something since they don't sell disks anymore and for Macs the ecosystem is closed- nobody goes to their site and downloads a trial. ![]()
