Well, using Crossover 6.2 beta2 LFS runs!

The Speed is playable, but it has sound problems and a wheel will not work I think...

Crossover is a 30 Day Trial Version...

Sounds good for 6.2 final or later!

Just download the x - Demo of LFS and try it!

and a wheel will not work I think...

I cured the cancer!

Only problem... it kinda kills the patient.

It plays, but no wheel support other than Momo.

How did you get it run?

I have a MacBook, OS 10.5, Crossover 6.2 final, but there only appears a black window whenever I start the LFS.exe.

We're talking about LFS2, right?

I installed Boot Camp and that works fine, but it's a bit annoying to always restart and have Windows installed for only one game^^.

I dunno, I haven't played it since Tiger, so Leopard might have messed it up, also the Macbooks GMA graphics chip might mess it up, seeing my iMac has a X1600.

I use Windows for LFS pretty much, but I play it so often, I never boot out of Windows :p

Oh, right, Leopard or the GMA could be the problem, whereas LFS runs perfect under Boot Camp :/
But you didn't set up something special to make it run?

Edit:
Okay, I got it running now!
Had to set to "Start windowed" in the config.
But it runs not very smooth so far, I try to improve this.

I didn't do anything special to it, all I did was install Crossover and run it. It's more hassle than it's worth though to run it in Crossover, rather than rebooting into windows.
