Windows on Mac

[Rudy]

I would like to run Win2k on my new mac (because i have a gba flasher that only works for pc and i hate having to go to my pc to do it), so i would need a vitual pc program that would be able to detect and use that usb device, is that possible?

Just as you explained it, it will work you just need VPC.

I was considering buying a GBA flasher, but no native OSX support turned me off. I'll wait untill one is coded. :)

It's cool that VPC can make use of peripherals connected to the mac though. Didn't know that feature existed

Its.. ok, i ran a stripped down XP Pro w/ a TI-89 EMU for my math final, and it was decent on a 800 MHz iBook, your not going to bo able to do anything amazingly spectacular with it.
