Hi, unfortunately I don't think any of the programs bundled in the Dark Game Studio work on mac os x but require windows. I'm not sure how well DarkBASIC Pro/Classic or FPSC will work on a mac running windows as the system requirements say that it will not work under PC emulation. So if it runs under bootcamp awesome but if it doesn't then you will need to buy a pc.

i will also the irony is remembered i have a netbook in my basement soomewhere i got it out and the netbook like most netbooks dont have a dvd drive so i might end up having to get one i can plug in to my netbook from ebay and my netbook might not be able to run dark basic for all i know and if that doesnt work and boot camp doesnt work i miht have to buy a laptop or pc meaning this software which would of cost me 31 pound to get would then end up costing m about 800 quid if you include a copy of windows 7 for boot camp am i lucky
