Has ANYBODY managed to get this game run on Mac?

[raustbd]

I'm a huge fan of both the survival horror AND roguelike genre, but I have a Mac, and apparently this game can't run on, or be emulated on, Macs in any way. Has anybody successfully been able to run this game on a mac? I really want to play it!

I know there's a program we can get to emulate virtual desktops, for example i could have mac and linux on this same pc using the virtual thingy but i forgot waht it's called, maybe it could work on mac o.o if you do some research on google. But then you'd have to torrent the boot cd to instal windows on the program, it's a slightly complex proceed. If i remember what it is i'll post it here...not sure if it would make rogue survivor work though.

If someone can get it running I'd like to know.

About Mac/Linux porting:
There might be a Mac port the day I can get a MONO version running without too much hassle. Same for Linux.

Right now I prefer to focus on the game rather than porting it.

I have a solution.

Sell your "I was a victim of advertising" mac.

If you find a yuppie or self absorbed brat looking for one, you can probably buy 2 PC's that are equivalent or better than your current "but the TV told me it was good and everyone at starbucks has one" mistake of a purchase.

LOL wow. As much as I LOVE juzzo's reply, that isn't ALWAYS the case

And I'm pretty sure it's very easily to get a virtual PC running on a Mac. Does it not work on that?

That's the error I get trying to run it in wine...

I only say this in hopes that it might lead to a very easy port if not some insight on how to get it to run. I'm forced to work off this terrible thing so it's not by choice, I assure you!

by the way, LOVE the game! watched plumphelmetpunk's let's play a week ago and have been trying ever since to get it to work >.<

Going to exalt that mac hate speech lol. "It can't get viruses!"(that's because mac's cant do anything). On a side note I hope you get this working, really is a cool game.
