Play on a Mac, matey!

I had some trouble figuring out how to make this game work on a Mac, so I decided to pass my newfound knowledge to other ToPers.

Yo, Intro
Splitting your drive makes your computer think it's really two computers, which enables you to load any software onto it. There aren't many steps to this, however it can take around 2 hours or so, depending on the speed of your computer. Also, this process requires Windows XP or Windows Vista. The cheapest you can get them is over 100 dollars, therefore I don't suggest doing this if you aren't willing to spend that much, because it will be useless.

Materials Needed:
-Macintosh Computer w/ CD burner
-blank burnable CD
-Windows Vista or Windows XP

Before getting started, I suggest printing this guide out, unless you have photographic memory, or already know what you're doing. And of course, turn off all programs to minimize time and eliminate possibility of having to restart.

Splitting HD
First, you need to split your hard drive.

How?
Using Boot Camp software developed by Apple. It can be found on their website at here. Follow the steps. Make sure you burn a CD of the drivers when prompted. This is very important! This disk will be your best friend. Put it aside to a safe place.

The splitting will take a while, so go have an ice cream while you wait.

Now You Have Two Computers!
Restart your computer. While it's turning on, hold down the Option [Alt] key. This will bring up a screen that looks like this:

Using the arrow keys, put the arrow to the new drive and click enter to boot it.
Insert the Windows installation disk and follow the instructions to install it.

You should have it all set up now! But since the computer is a Mac, it doesn't have the drivers needed to run Windows Audio, Wireless Internet, or in my case, internet at all. So remember that nice disk I told you to make friends with? Time to insert it. It should start running automatically. Just keep clicking next to install it. It can take about 30 minutes, so go have another ice cream.

And voila! You can download ToP! Happy gaming.

Troubles
Q: Boot Camp won't split my drive! It says I need to go to Disk Utility but I can't repair it there!
A: In order to repair your disk, you need to insert your apple installation disk and boot your computer on that [same option button, ect.] or if you can't figure it out/lost your installation disk go to an Apple Store and ask them to repair your disk.

Q: Ah! Where's my insert key!?
A: Many possibilities, you usually have to click Shift+0[on the number pad], or on laptops, Fn+NumLock [light should glow] and then Shift+M.

^That's the biggest trouble I had, so if you can't figure something else out, post it in here and I'll try to help you out. :]
