short version: no.
MIDS is built using the crapware development framework / API known as .NET
While there is a multi-platform .NET implementation, specifically Attachmate Mono, binary programs making dynamic linked .NET calls generally will not run on Attachmate Mono.
Various legal issues surrounding .NET make it extremely unlikely that support for .NET will ever be in reverse-engineered projects such as WINE that have open-licenses.
It is possible that commercial entities using restrictive licenses, such as Transgaming, may be able to implement a .NET compatibility layer that is less likely to be subject to the legal landmines.
Ah dang. Ok then. Thanks for the info!

It's like parallels or vmware, so you may need more RAM, but since you didn't say how much you currently have I can't comment either way.
All,
I do have a legal copy of Windows 7 on a dual boot on my main gaming Mac but until I buy more memory and parallels or something, I'm forced to boot into Windows to run Mids' or else use an old crappy Windows 98 PC I have. I'm using the crappy Windows 98 PC. But I'm wondering if there are any other options.
I dont know much about Macs but I was wondering if there are any options like Wine etc for the Mac and if anyone had run Mids' under Wine or the equivalent? I prefer free options, but will consider anything. I would just like to be able to run Mids' on the same PC I do my e-mail through so that I can copy/paste from my Mac browser to the Mids' in emulation and vice versa so that I could easily discuss builds without having to go over to the old Win 98 PC and work there, save off text files, copy them across the network etc.
What options do I have?
Thanks!
