Quick load on Mac

Q: I have a MAC – will QuickLOAD/QuickTARGET work on a MAC?

A: If you use an emulator or a program to allow Windows programs to run on MAC i.e. “Parallels” , “Virtual PC”, “Crossover” ,”WineBottler” or other program it may work. NOTE – MAY work, it also may not. Some MACs may already have an emulator as part of the software package – look and see. Do some research, ask us ( qload.rjd at gmail dot com). We may have an answer as things are always changing.
There are no guarantees that QuickLOAD/QuickTARGET will run with any emulator or conversion software as there is zero support for doing such – you do so at your own risk.

Yes Sir, I saw that. Before I contact them for advice I figured it couldnt hurt asking to see if anyone was running it.
A new computer is not in my budget.
Thanks.

This is how I did it on my MacBook.

1. Download Virtual Box software
2. Download windows 10.iso installer
3. Set up a virtual hard drive. There is lots of YouTube videos on how to make one with virtual box.
4. I didn't want to set up accounts with windows so I shut the internet off when installing and just kept telling it to install without internet. (You have to shut off the internet on your MacBook)
5. Once windows installed I installed Quickload in the windows program that was running.
6. If you don't want to pay for windows I sort of figured out a way around it. I turned off the auto clock update function in windows so it doesn't know what day it is. Virtual box allows you to save the machine state instead of shutting it down. (if you shut it down the clock will update) That way you get quite a bit of time before you have to reinstall windows and QL. Or you could just pay for it and not have to do any of that last step.
This is the only program I run in windows so I wanted to be as cheap as possible.

This works well for me and im sure their is many better ways to do it but im not very good with computers. YouTube was my friend getting it running and figuring out how to use virtual box.

If something doesn't set up right you just delete and start over it sucks but after like attempt 4 I finally got it. Most of them was because I didn't want to pay for anything.
