Dolphin for mac

Dear Admins of Dolphin emu,

I think that it would be a huge addition to the site if a Dolphin emu was created for macs. I think you would receive more viewers and downloads and also many more members. I have given up both my gamecube and wii and i would love to be able to play those fun games again. Please do consider

You can install both linux and windows on a mac right? Why not just do that? Mac is so much like linux since they are both unix derivatives it shouldn't make a difference which it is compiled on...

Yeah i tried and the "Virtual Machine" isnt strong enought to run Dolphin, even with the highest perf..
so i was Thinking : Is there a way to use "X11" in order to install Dolphin on a Mac?

i mean im not a compiler-thing-man and i dont understand nothing about the HowTo Google-thing so...

anyway to use X11?

macs are mainly for photos and movies and all the family stuff. it isn't for gaming and i am sure we have more windows users then any other OS so making a mac dolphin emulator wont make much of a difference in how popular the dolphin emulator is.

That's all about Windows emulation software Smile

I managed to get Dolphin (3089) working on Crossover Games 7.2.0 (trial version). Seemed to work quite well, although I didn't have much time to play/muck about. I thought it wasn't working properly until I read that Wind Waker audio doesn't work lol.

I didn't try with Crossover 7.2.0 (the normal one), but don't see why it shouldn't work.

(I'm not saying just going out and buying Crossover to run Dolphin is a great idea, if it ends up not working, there isn't much support. But you can play about a lot with the trial version.)

There may be more PC users, but there are still enough mac users that at least I know that would really enjoy it for mac.

Sorry but mac's have to stay out of the gaming-zone :p
