Sorry for not following the normal form, but this is for a slightly different type of technical issue. I am on a Mac, but I really want to play this game. I am not at all computer-savvy, as far as running weird programs and stuff, so I would appreciate the help. Is there a way to do it without buying an emulator, (preferably simple)? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Christian Warrior

You have to install Windows (including Bootcamp) to play this game on a Mac. MacOS X or Windows in a Virtual Machine are not supported.

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

I'm a Mac user, and dual-booting with Boot Camp is the best/only way to go. It's very easy to use (the Boot Camp wizard does most of the work for you), but you need your own copy of Windows (XP and up). In my programmer dreams, I've considered investigating how well Allegiance would compile against Transgaming's Cider, but we have bigger fish to fry right now.

That would be rather pointless, as both ASGS and ACSS require .NET Framework, wich is Windows exclusive.

Also, seeing as OP question was answered, closing as solved.
