My PC needed a new PSU and I didn't have the money to replace it but resorted to using my macbook pro for P1999. The best way to play on a mac is to run bootcamp.

Bootcamp is software already on your mac (assuming it's relatively new should be able to just application search for it on your mac to see if it exists). Bootcamp allows for your mac hard drive to be split and run windows and subsequently P1999. It's very easy to install i just googled installing windows on bootcamp and followed a youtube video.

However, Bootcamp does require a valid windows license so you'd need a copy of windows XP or newer. Windows also doesn't allow for heat detection with your macbook fan so when running windows you'll need to start up in OSX run a manual fan control ( I use SMC fan control) restart the machine which will continue to run the fan at set manual speed. Windows also fucks up something with battery usage and drains the juice fast so you'll be limited to being plugged in to play. you'd maybe get 2-3 hours tops on a full charge.

Goodluck.

This is very very good advice.

Isn't there a version of Wine in OSX?

Yup.

If you have a beefier machine and any cash to spare I recommend going the parallels root as previously mentioned for convenience, otherwise just go with Bootcamp.
