Yes, I know it's 2011, but I'm just getting round to trying to run Grand Prix Legends and its variants (esp. GTL) on a Mac (27" iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 16 GB RAM, OS X 10.6.8). The built-in graphics:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4670
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Displays:
iMac:
Resolution: 2560 x 1440
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color

I have Parallels 6, Crossover Games (a subset of CodeMasters' "Crossover," which lists GPL as "Bronze," the lowest level -- i.e. least likely to work well -- of PC games that work on a Mac with X-Over, and, of course, Boot Camp, but I'd like to talk to someone who has actually managed to run GPL with all, (or most of) the bells and whistles, successfully.

Also, I have NO idea how peripherals such as wheel and pedal sets work in the PC emulation environment. Right now, the best wheel I've got is a Logitech E-UG8 Red MOMOŽ Force set; I'm certainly willing to buy a G-25 or G-27 (and a Track-IR, maybe), but not if I can't make them work


If there's another forum which would fit my needs, or if anyone has any hot tips (other than buy a Windows PC) on this subject, please let me know.

Thanks!

Bart

Hello Bart and welcome!

The man you need to talk to is Rudy Dingemans overt at SMRZ forums

According to my understanding of Rudy's comments over there, it seems like Bootcamp is the best solution for Papyrus' Grand Prix Legends.

With Respect to GTL, the Simbin effort, I'd guess that Bootcamp once again offers the best chances of succes.

Virtualization and Emulation are not very fit for gaming needs. So yeah, Bootcamp is the best option.

The 4670 might struggle at that resolution I guess. Heck my 4890 struggled with GTL at 1920x1200.
