App That Runs On Windows For Mac 9,5/10 2173 votes

Hi, me and a few friends have been playing the mobile game 'The Blockheads', (like Minecraft but 2d and more of strategy), and we wanted to do multiplayer. And, as it turns out, you need to either rent or host your own to play multiplayer. And, being the one with the fastest internet of us all (25mbps down, 8 mbps up), and the host of our Minecraft server, I was picked to host it. So, no problem, I can do that. Except, the server software is Mac only.

Aug 20, 2012 A Mac application will not work on a PC. Mac applications will not run on an iPad. IPads and Mac computers are different hardware platforms.

Now, I have a pretty decent Windows 8.1 PC (6-core AMD processor 3.8-4.1 ghz, 8 gb ram). So what I was thinking is I could run Mac in virtualbox, and run the server in that.

A few issuse though: Is there a *legal* free version of OS X 10.8 I could use? And then, I know all Macs have an Intel processor. So would it even run with my AMD one? And then, how much cpu/ram would that version of Mac use, just the OS in virtualbox? (I wouldn't have it on 24/7, just when we go to play ) Thanks!

You would have to buy a version of the Mac OS, but I think the last one that came on DVD was 10.6.8. You would have to figure out how to make this run on your PC, which would not be easy for an AMD machine. You can search the hacktosh communities to see if anyone has successfully ported Mac OS to an FX-based pc, get help configuring a system starting with 10.6, and upgrading to whichever system is compatible with your software. The Mac OS is not free, but it is inexpensive: OS X 10.6 is $19.99 from the Apple Store, and the upgrade (done through the store app on the dock) to 10.9 Mavericks is free. I'm not sure you can use an AMD system for a hackintosh, but I doubt it'll be easy if you can. You would have to buy a version of the Mac OS, but I think the last one that came on DVD was 10.6.8.
