Attention! This page is under construction. You should not use this as a guide for now. Also, PWO on a Mac is largely unsupported by the Developers. You will not get any support from them if you ask.

Requirements

If you're using Solution A, you will need:

• An Intel Mac (PowerPC Macs are not supported with this solution)
• The Virtual Machine Software you will be using. You can use pretty much any software that supports Mac OS X, such as Parallels Desktop for Mac ($80), VMWare Fusion ($50), or VirtualBox (free, but not tested). NOTE: This guide will be using Parallels.
• A license to the software you will be using.
• A Windows XP or higher install disc/image file and a license (product key) for that version.
• A Pokemon World Online account. (Register at the Playerdex)

If you're using Solution B, you will need:

• A Pokemon World Online account. (Register at the Playerdex)

Solutions

Solution A: Virtual Machine (Easy)

1. Install Virtual Machine software
2. Install VM Additions
3. Install PWO, fixes if necessary

Solution B: Wine (Medium-Hard)

A topic on the forums recommends using Wine, which is essentially a Windows simulator, but you don't need to have a Windows install disc or even a Windows license.

1. Install Wine Bottler
2. Winetricks (directx runtime and vb6run)
3. install pwo
4. fixes if necessary.
