Now ive seen 2 good posts in this forum about afk bg honor farming bots, but i have a question... Right now im spending 3 weeks at my relatives house and all I have is a mac, how can I make those work on a mac?

Im pretty sure u cant run any .exe programs on a mac without having Parallels or any other sort of emulators. I might be wrong though.

Can you please help ? Im sick of bging :(

Macs are iffy. Not many people spend the time to make things for them. You could always get a windows emulator for your mac. Other than that im not sure what you can do. Sorry

heres a good emulator you may want to look into http://www.winehq.org/

Also, another option would be to learn a simple cross-platform language and write a small bot in that. I would try Wine first though if your not into programming :D

I thought there was a port for mac. OS X is based on Unix (Actually Apple uses Darwin, which is a Unix-like OS, much in the same way that Linux is a Unix-like OS) I never followed Wine closely though so im not sure.

EDIT: I was right. I thought there was just a different binary release for OS X on the Wine download page, but it looks like its a separately maintained project from Wine. http://darwine.sourceforge.net/

I didnt really go through what they wrote on the Wine site since I didnt really understand much of it lol... Well I tried downloading darwine but apparently the link is broken ?

http://sourceforge.net/project/download ... uperb-west

I also tried the direct link:

http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/s ... 0.9.27.dmg

I wasnt able to get the download working either, on multiple mirrors. From the looks of it, the Darwine project has been abandoned, as there has been no news for over a year.

from the Wine FAQ:

3.2. I want to run Wine on an Intel Mac OS X (MacIntel) system, will it work?

(Also see the previous question.) As of March, 2006, simple applications are just beginning to to run on Intel Mac OS X. It's possible in about 6 months we'll see applications running similarly to how they do on Linux or FreeBSD.

There are some complicated issues surrounding Wine on Mac OS X. Working with low-level features, such as signal handling and system registers, are quite different on Mac OS X. Further hampering the issue are some bugs within the operating system. Beyond that, integration on Mac OS X becomes difficult because it is vastly different than a traditional *nix desktop. Menuing and graphics drivers are just two areas that require a complete reimplementation in order to be functional.


Good news, but its from march of 06, so its unclear of their current progress.

your best bet right now is to just buy a commercial emulator http://www.codeweavers.com/
