I want to try oblivion on a computer and only a mac is big enough to not lag so I was wondering if I could use oblivion on a mac

[BabyFawnLegs]

There is no mac version of Oblivion but it will work well with a Wineskin/Cider wrapper... You can get one here: http://portingteam.com/files/file/5928-oblivion-goty-steam-compatible/

could u possibly friend request me so I could ask about this in a conversation

i had this and made a wneskin wrapper for it. Wineskin wrappers are made using a program called 'Wineskin Winery' which is free. It is basically an app which you install your game or other windows software inside. It contains windows frameworks/library files that allow you to run windows software in OSX (a mini vmware/parallels ...... kind of!)
Download Wineskin Winery (google it), and have a look at their website, it has documentation that explains it better than me. Make sure you up date the 'engine' to the latest version, create a wrapper, then once it's finished close wineskine winery and locate your wrapper in finder (probably in your home directory application folder) and right click on it. Select 'show packae contents' and it will show you the files inside, one of which is an app called 'wineskin' which is the config app for your wrapper. Pick install software and ten you have some options depending on how you install oblivion (I can't remember precisly how i did it).
1) If the game has an installer pick the first option, which will ask you to locate the installer exe file.
or
2) If it doesn't need installing and is just a folder with all game files in then pick the 'copy folder into wrapper' option. Then choose where to put it (c:/program files is the usual location)

It's worth reading up on the wineskin winery page to understand the other options avalable via tis config app, but I seem to remember that there weren't any changes which were essential to run oblivion.

Your app should be ready. navigate to the wrapper icon in finder (the one you clicked on to 'show package contents') and double click. Your game should open.

You can make a wrapper for a growing number of windows only apps (make one for each program), but google first to see if any special settings are needed.

Good luck and enjoy oblivion!!
