EU needs a 3D card to work, and from memory most virtual apps don't do 3d direct rendering too well, because they can only do the software acceleration not the hardware. Since OSX is unix, you might try looking at the wine project, I'm not sure if wine runs on OSX but I would assume it might, it's worth checking out.

You might get it to run on a Mac if you use boot camp for the XP OS. I know others have asked this question before but I have yet to actually see an answer for this.

With virtualization software the performance will be too low. Bootcamp should work though:

EU and MacBook - IT WORKS!

Entropia Unverse on MacBook (it works) !!

Goodluck with it

Weird question...
Hypothetical? Yes, slow, graphics might be a problem, but yes, it should (could) work.
But why using a VR-Machine? If you have an Intel-Mac, use BootCamp to install Windows and you have a "normal" Wintel PC.

I used VMs for all kind of stuff, but to play a game?? (yeah..)
It just donīt make sense. You run an OS to run a Software which runs an OS to run a Software... why doing that if you donīt need to?

What if you wanted to run EU and some Mac software at the same time?

Yeah, like Photoshop and iMovie on OSX & EU+Fraps on Win in the VM. So i could edit the ingame video in realtime on my MAC

Seriously, what OSX software would you need to run while playing EU?
