KRP works like a charm when run through bootcamp on my Mac. It also makes paint and track insertion way easier than I imagine it could be on a Mac version.

how do you download bootcamp?
how long does it take?
what does it change?
cheers!

Bootcamp should come pre-installed on every mac since around ~2007.

You first need a disk with Windows 7 on it. I would link straight to a free version, but I'm not sure if PiBoSo would like me doing that on his site. However, a search of Pirate bay will find you tons.

You also need another disk with all the latest drivers which you can get for free from the apple support site.

Follow this video like gospel and you'll be fine. http://www.johnnythegeek.com/?p=440
Partitioning around 40Gigs is more than enough for KRP and all the paints,tracks, what have you.

It doesn't change anything on your Mac but simply gives you the option to open Windows when you hold the option button on boot up.

It took me about three hours of trial and error, but Mac savvy neighborhood kids can easily do it in one when bribed accordingly.

Hope that helps.

A native Mac version may be created if there are enough requests.

Are there good force feedback steering wheels for Mac? Looks like Logitech controllers aren't supported anymore: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3539326

I'd happily pay for a MAC version.
I agree that there are so many mac users now that it would be worth it.

There aren't many requests for a Mac version so far.
Anyway, the top priority at the moment is to have a more solid netcode and to optimize the graphics engine.
