Freeware on Mac

Just wanted to post this here for the record books in case anyone googles the question themselves. If you ever wanted to play the EHM Freeware version on a Mac, PlayOnMac works with basically 100% functionality (just use PlayOnMac to run eastside_setup to create a virtual drive, and then run the Visual Basic exe inside that virtual drive), the only hiccup is that clicking on a player's name in the News pages doesn't open up their profile; but you can still search for them and get to their profiles that way so it's only a minor inconvenience. I could not get this to work for the longest time but now that it does I am having a blast once again!

Thank you for sharing. This sort of question comes up every now and then but with few people with a Mac able to answer.

This is great to know. I used to recommend stuff like Wine that parallels Windows. Never heard of this PlayOnMac before.

I've been playing on/off with it for 6 months now, gotten through a few seasons with no real problems. I think right around the time of my initial post PlayOnMac lost compatibility with the latest Mac OS, but that seems to have been resolved (I haven't updated myself so I can't confirm)
