I'm new to all of this, never played a windows game on mac before, but I thought I might get some help here. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread or anything like this.
I copied fallout new vegas from a friend who I'm pretty sure downloaded it illegaly. Don't know if this is relevant, just want to be sure.
It is VERY relevant. You could infect your system with a virus or other
malware. Never, ever use software of a dubious nature, even on your Mac.
So I guess what I need is to told what to do step by step. I want fallout to work because I've heard great things about it, and I hope somebody doesn't mind going to the trouble of telling what needs to be done.
First thing: Pay a visit to our Applications Database to see if the pro
will install and run under Wine (rating of other than Garbage) when run
on a Mac.
Second thing: If the program will run, go and purchase a LEGAL original
copy.
Third thing: Get Wine from MacPorts, Fink or if you are feeling
venturous, download the Source and look at the Dependencies page on the
Wine Wiki and then build and install it.
