My main computer died last night, leaving me with no tracker, and I couldnt take it anymore! I also don't like using parallels as my macbook ins't quite fast enough for my likings to use it, so I looked for an alternative, and there was none. So I looked around for a few posts here and that lead me to "Crossover". Heres what I did.
First thing you need is Crossover for Mac which can be found here: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
I had TONS of problems with the 6.0 version, but using the 6.2 version, I had no problems installing at all. This program may be for Intel macs only, I dont know
Secondly, download pokertracker3 of course
Third, you will need to install Postgresql on your mac. This may be for intels only again, but I am not sure. I got it here: http://www.postgresqlformac.com/ and I downloaded the 8.2.5 unified installer.
Unzip and run the POSTGRESQL .PKG you downloaded , fairly self explanatory. There are readme's as well in the package after you open it. Go to the /Server folder and run the file in there, and it will do an automated install of postgreSQL, and then install Client Tools if you want.
Once you have that installed, open up Crossover, and go to "install software". It will take a minute to refresh a list of software, then you can choose "unsupported software". At this point it may as you to make a bottle, but I just used the default WINXP bottle. Choose install File option, and select the PT3.exe install file, and install it wherever you want. Once you do that, just go to your folder that you installed it too, and run the Pokertracker.exe and it should open automatically with Crossover. It will then prompt you to set up your postgresql database information, then it will open PT3 like normal
Im sure theres a bunch of stuff I forgot to write, but this should get you in the general direction.
Hope that helps some of you on macs while we wait for a native version
