How to run maple on a Mac?

So I just got a MacBook Air and I was wondering how I can run maplestory on it? Also if running Mae will harm my new laptop in anyway?

Bootcamp bro. Macs are fine for gaming unless you stuff it with pr0n viruses.

if you don't want to use bootcamp, you can download vmware, where you can install windows and run it on top of your mac os. I'm running maple on my macbook pro right now

I'm using parallels with 8gb ram. So smooth and i can use my mac os side by side, unlike bootcamp

I use bootcamp. I bought windows 8 for like $40 but you can get a developers preview for free. I was running maple off my mac without paying anything for a long time, then i decided to upgrade to windows 8 pro and that only cost $40

Here's the video I watched to install bootcamp: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WweZk1Rsd0o]Link[/url]

My friend used parallels but it made maple lag pretty bad (despite the already horrendous lag in game) and it slows down the other processes you're trying to use while on the mac partition of the hard drive.

EDIT: This wasn't with a high amount of RAM like in the comment below. If you have enough RAM you can do it just fine, but I'm assuming since it's a Macbook Air it doesn't have 8gb of RAM

You're ganna need a program to run windows on your Mac such as Bootcamp or parallel. Get ready for "buy a PC".

I saw a program that lets you run windows on a mac.

It was in best buy for like $30?

Point: Macs suck for gaming.
