Updating Smarty on a Mac, help please Computer guys

Hello all. Unfortunately I have a Mac/Apple. The Madselectronics site says I need a "Windows Emulator."

Anyone know if the "Crossover Mac" available at Best Buy will work? It is $70.00.

Does this sound right?

Thanx.

this is only if you have the new macs with intel chips. If you have an older Mac with a Power PC processor your S.O.L.

Thanx a bunch for the tips guys. I would like to be able to do all my Smarty stuff at home w/o botheing others. But I did find a Cummins performance buddy on here that is close to me (Hello Big Horn 06). I can hook up with him on Saturday and he can download the latest version on his computer. It is going to rain so I loaded my level #9 for some fun in the mud/wet streets. I would prefer less smoke, and I would like to see how the 2.11 smokes.

Thanx.

Virtual pc is a microsoft program for older style macs. I own a sign shop and only run macs. The newer intel chiped macs run both OS and Windows side by side.

Thanx mykal41. If it does not have a newer intel chip, is there any way to make it work?

Thanx again.
