VirtualSMC — SMC Emulator

unwiscunk replied to MaLd0n's topic in NEWS Releases & Updates

Is anyone using PCG Tools on a Mac through an emulator? If so, how easy/hard is it to set it up? Is it as simple as installing something like VirtualBox or do I then need to install Windows on top of/within VirtualBox?
