Using CMANO on a Mac - 5/17/2015 4:56:44 PM

I'm getting an iMac tomorrow and will also be installing Parallels 10 desktop and Windows 8.1 to run a windows virtual machine on the Mac. Does anyone else use a Mac to play this game, and if so how do they find it? I can always fall back on my old Dell laptop if I have to, but have been running into overheating issues with that hence the switch.

Thanks for the help,

Christian Boe

I'm playing it on a 2012 Macbook Air, and it handles most scenarios really well unless I go above 5x time compression. I'd imagine you'd be absolutely fine.

What setup are you using to run C:MANO on your Air?

I run CMANO, as well as a ton of other Matrix games, on a 2009 MacBook Pro 17" with Win 7 64 in BootCamp. Runs perfectly, though does require a reboot.

I find that the performance degradation using Parallels or Wine in OSX 10.9 is not worth the extra 1min it takes to reboot natively into Windows 7 via BootCamp.

Did you manage to get Command to work in Wine? I tried for ages, but couldn't figure it out. Just curious.
