just a quick question for mac users..

How well does RCT3 run on a macbook pro? anyone know?

 

i'm kind of nervous to get it. I know how smoothly it used to run on my old windows desktop so.. haha.

 

And i've heard how well it runs on laptops. so i was just wondering if anyone had it and could let me know how well it performs. thanks

I've been wondering the same thing. However, Im sure it runs fine if not like normal.

 

But remember RCT3 for Mac is only to Soaked. Wild is not compatible.

unfortunately i remember.. haha

 

either way. twister dude. is it weird i was looking through my old posts today and forgot how in love with your park Greeley Experience i was. haha everything was sexy.

Actually I have 2 very fortunate things to tell you!

 

Legally you can install Wild on the Mac! Purchase a Wild for PC disk and then follow the tutorial in this video:

It's perfectly safe, I owned wild for my PC beforehand so I already had a copy of the disk, so I had a legal licence and there's nothing preventing you from installing it on a Mac!

 

So all you need to do is download the 2 files linked in that video and follow the on screen instructions. For this to work though, you do need both RCT 3 Vanilla and Soaked installed, you'll also need a RCT 3 Soaked! Disk for Mac as well.

 

So that solves one issue.

 

I currently run RCT 3 on my 20" aluminum iMac and it's about 2 generations old, so your Pro should run RCT 3 just as well- and that's saying a lot! I'm able to run RCT 3 on it's maximum settings fairly smoothly. I also have a 13" aluminum Macbook [from before it was moved into the pro line] and it also runs RCT 3 very well!

 

I hope I was able to help you today!

No, not without additional software and it's very expensive. Plus you need a copy of Windows.

 

The reason it's possible with the expansion is because you're really just adding data to an already installed product.

shoot. haha yea i have boot camp on here. Allows me to instal windows if I have the operating system disk. But alas, I don't have one around here. haha
