VMWare.
I don't think detailed discussions of using virtual machines is allowed here (last time there was a discussion about it, that seemed to be the general thing: no specifics), however.

I was under the impression most of these are now blocked by Nexon?
I think boot camp is the best option.

I couldn't tell you if this is legit or not but I can tell you that if it is the guy isn't sharing.

Damn, I'd love to be able to do that >_>
I've been playing on a Mac with BootCamp, but it's such a hassle having two operating systems installed when one is just for things that Mac can't run natively. I think virtual machines can still work but you have to alter something in the program settings, otherwise MS detects that you're running a virtual machine and refuses to open. Pretty sure there was a thread in the technical support section.

VMWare/Parallel/VirtualBox work, but there's tweaking involved. For me personally they still work great to this day. Your experiences may vary.
If you're willing to try here are some threads to get you started. Updated information are usually near the end of the threads.

I personally just use Bootcamp. Throw a disc with Windows on it at your Mac and start the bootcamp assistant. From there on it's child's play. You'd have to restart your Mac every time you switch though.

I don't know if it will make any difference but Tyler, forgive me if I'm wrong is XgrantwallX's brother and I think we all know who he is.

From what I understand it is possible, however it requires registry editing so that the Virtual OS doesn't know it's a Virtual OS (Which is what MS apparently searches for). I don't get Nexon's big deal with Virtual PCs...it's not like it's stopping botting or anything.

I can dual Maple with some sandbox applications too. Requires far less work, resources, and hassle.

It usually doesn't really matter that you can do it with another program, whats important is that you CAN'T do it with the program they blocked. In other words it means they took 1 out of 2.

Bootcamp, parallels. Also, it's just a Mac, not a Mac PC, you insult me when you say that.
