Even made a nice custom window backdrop for them. http://tinypic.com/r/x0vfyr/7 Anybody who is still finding this article when Googling "Fallout 3 Mac", head on over to forums.portingteam.com and get playing! That's where the gold is. Oh, but beware the dreaded "30-minute crash". There's sometimes a problem compiling the wrapper and some users get kicked out after a half hour for no reason whatsoever. There's lots of help for it though.

(I'm an "X" PC. Just got my first mac ever (the new macbook pro 15" with the i5 chip) What exactly is wrong (morally? physically? technically?) with having windows on another partition of your mac? It's possible - why not just do it? Just out of curiosity… (I’m an “X” PC. Just got my first mac ever (the new macbook pro 15″ with the i5 chip)
