You could set up a dual-boot to Linux and install Istaria on that following this guide, more or less, maybe.

free application that allows you to play Windows games on Mac.
it works great on Linux , tho I don't have Mac so can't tell if Istaria works with it on Mac.
But I heard from someone having Mac that "Wine" does it job.
Thisll help. I knew that wine would work for mac but they never had a mac download so i didnt know which to use.

Triple posting? big taboo? I duno. Anyway heres what I did and maybe someone can help me here:P
I downloaded PlayOnMac and ran it.
I downloaded Istaria and the .Net framework.
I ran Istaria.exe , of course it didn't work because I needed the launcher.
I tried to launch the launcher but it did't work either.
I downloaded the launcher from the site ran it and tried to link it to the Istaria folder but when I went looking for the folder I could not find it. It was gone:P but when I went looking with the finder I found it. Though it was a pain in the butt.
Go>Computer>Users>[insert name]>Library>PlayOnMac>WinePrefix>here
thats where it saves everything. Everything downloaded is saved with its own prefix so it doesnt confuse them.
Any help is awesome!

Alas gone are the days when this was easy to do.
You would be wrong then=D i have no discs =P

It's been forever, and I'd love to be able to play this game with my boyfriend however he has a Mac and can't get/afford/whatever that bootcamp thing.
Is there any other way?
I thought this would have been available to all by now!
(Sorry to be ranty but )
It's no simple matter to convert a program designed for one platform to be compatible with another. I'd wager that the code would have to be either largely rewritten or heavily expanded upon (which would make already cluttered code much more so).

While completely unsupported, you might have some luck running Istaria on wine.

It's not as simple as using bootcamp, but it is free...
You can get anything you want in life -- just make a lot of noise and bite the right people.
Currently playing Istaria through Parallels Mac-Windows 7 without a problem
Nope there is an istaria beta download here on the community site to play on mac. idk how it works exactly it might be wine....

i posted a thread bout this when i got a mac a while ago.
looking on the download page i cant find the link to download it to mac anymore :/
it was a Beta Mac Download maybe the devs removed it ...or I'm just blind.
Wow it's amazing how time flies by... it seems an age ago I saw this thread.
I ended up with a mac book pro with bootcamp and a split 128/128gb ssd, and put Istaria on the Win7 side. It runs very nicely. My experience of running games, primarily Steam games, has been pretty unfulfilling. I have the silly resolution screen, and nothing supports it properly. If you run in the half-resolution 1440 x 900, the image doesn't fit. And yet there is no issue running games on Win7, even with the screen, so it's a no brainer to use Windows for the games.
I hope it continues to work well, as I'm in South Africa for 9 weeks from Sunday. :|

Instructions for running Istaria on Mac with PlayOnMac

I tried running through the process they discussed in support but i keep getting a flashing screen and then istaria crashes after it updates. Anyone have a clue as to what that is about?
