Yo, wadup? I've been watching these tas videos for a long time. I would like to try to tas some games, but I'm on a mac, and it seems that it really limits my options.

Boot Camp and that virtual box thing (can't remember the name) are your friends ;D

VirtualBox is its name, yes. You'll need a Windows install disc either way. With Boot Camp, you set up your computer so that when you start it up, you have the option of running either OSX or Windows. With VirtualBox, you can run a copy of Windows inside OSX. You don't need to reboot, but you don't get the full use of your processor (since some of it is dedicated to running OSX) and VirtualBox can't make good use of your graphics card. Still, it's more than sufficient to run FCEU, the only one I've tried. I suspect you'd have trouble with N64 and PSX (and some arcade) but that other emulators would work fine.

I'm just going to wait to get a new computer. My mac barely has enough room to do all that.
