I have a Mac Mini and need to get a SIM. I have XP installed on there as well but would prefer is the SIM ran on OSX.

Is there anything out there?

Not that I know of.

Phoenix runs with at least some of the Windows in a Window programs. I am not a Mac guy, but a friend is and just got Phoenix.

But it's not good.

VERY GOOD, but only windows. I run it on my MacBook Pro in XP without difficulty. You have integrated graphics on the Mac mini, but Phoenix runs with some of the least system requirements. You can D/L the "demo" on their site which uses the sim engine to run. If the sim demo runs smoothly, the real version should as well.

I feel your pain. I had to capitulate and buy an OEM copy of Windows XP Home to run in Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro just for sim'ing. Maybe someday...

If I ever win the lottery... I am paying for a port. The only reason Windows runs in my house is for a sim.:mad:

I actually do use Windows for two other things: uploading firmware to my Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station console and monitoring/uploading firmware to my Maxpro X6 charger. I'm in the process of remedying the latter, i.e. writing my own monitoring and firmware upload app.
