I've been planning on getting a Mac book when os x leopard comes out. I see it comes with bootcamp, is that all i need to start running ro? is there anything i need to do in order to be able to run ro off a mac book?

Bootcamp emulates Windows - afaik you shouldn't have to do anything except open RO in Bootcamp being that it should work exactly like Windows.

p.s. Type "macbook" into tts with Microsoft Sam. hilarious.

Bootcamp just allows you to install windows xp/vista on your mac. You still need a valid license and install disk to run windows on it.

Been playing on one for 2 months now without any problems, except the graphics chip is a bit limited when you play in window mode :x

I play RO on my macbook and I love it. The game is a lot less laggy and smoother than it was on my pc. Installation is pretty simple just need a blank cd for the drivers, an xp/vista installation disc and a good authorization code ;p

And you prolly going to use window mode, there is a dll file that if deleted or renamed will lock mouse in ro window, but i can't remember which one it is, does anyone know? (it also killed autofollow function).

Found a fix for it by myself like a week ago.

I had some weird black clouds on pretty much every spell while playing on window mode, but all was fine in full screen.

Then I changed my resolution to fit iro's (16 bit depth desktop as opposed to 32 earlier) and now it works like a charm.

If you're a student in college you can get a copy of windows vista ultimate for 30 dollars. Just FYI.

Each college is different. Mine only offers Vista Business at 75 dollars. :(
