[QUOTE="MadAxeMan, post: 232097, member: 4083"] I too came up with a solution! Just last night, I was up tip 3am playing away. While I was building a dual monitor pc for my wife's office (to go with her macbook pro); I realized I had enough parts sitting around to also build me a pinball arcade pc (I had also been considering giving bootcamp a go as well) AMD Phenom II x4 3.0ghz 9800GT card 8gbs ram Bare in mind, I can only play the DX9 version (because 9800GT can only go up to DX10), it was still vastly superior to the mac version There was just no contest Game play was consistently smooth, all the settings were max out Graphics were far better, no scaling issues like the mac XBOX 360 controller worked with it right out of the box (rumble too!) trying to get a controller to work on the PA mac was a joke. Nudging was far more forgiving. Mac 2 nudges in a row = tilt There are many things I use my Mac for, and will continue, because it is just does it better than pc, Pinball Arcade is definiently not one them. But I now have a pc that only does Pinball Arcade, and it just friggin rocks If you can, I highly recommend making the break for it too. I highly doubt the mac version issues will get resolved anytime soon, let alone catch up to the vastly superior pc version (looking forward to moving up to DX11 eventually) and on that note, my time in this section draws to a end and I will be in the pc section more. Best of luck with the Mac version :) [/QUOTE]
