Win 7 Virtual Machine Runs MMD on MAC and Linux

Posted on March 13, 2016March 24, 2016 By Kazuki Matsuoka 8 Comments on Win 7 Virtual Machine Runs MMD on MAC and Linux

Windows 7 Virtual Machine runs MMD MikuMikuDance on MAC or Linux!

My old post said "not on a MAC"... but now, a Win 7 virtual machine runs MMD on a MAC!After I wrote my post on “Why MMD cannot run on MAC computers”, I began to do more research as I discovered that people CAN install Windows on their machines using Bootcamp and other software. I find the software around shops all the time and they are pretty pricey and I haven’t had much success with the software… but I found an easy and genuine way to get a virtual Windows working on other operating systems through Microsoft’s website with VirtualBox!

Learn how to download and install a Win 7 virtual machine to run MMD on a MAC!

SEE MY NEWEST Full-Page ARTICLE where I will show you how to install a Windows 7 virtual machine that will be able to run MikuikuDance!

Of course, not all MACs, not all computers, can RUN a virtual machine… or have the disc-space or graphics cards to manage it! My article describes some of these concerns… but you will have to discover, for yourself, if your machine is up to the task.

See how to download and install a virtual machine that may allow you to run MMD on your MAC!

I hope it works for you!

      No, MMD is purely Windows software.
