Is This Possible?

Ok, I just thought of something. This is mainly a general question and not limited to rpg maker xp but it involves rpg maker xp so I thought I'd ask it here. When you create a game disk, it creates an exe file or something that plays on windows. Now, I kno some people who own a mac instead of windows. Is there a way to convert any games made in rmxp or just any exe files to app files(i think thats the mac one) so that both people with windows and macs can play any games I create?

It might be possible to play RPG Maker XP games with Parallels although I have never tried. (I don't have a mac)
RMXP was not designed for Mac so I doubt it will run without a windows emulator.

Why doesn't it work on Mac, the RGSS?

If so, parallels probably won't work, since most of events act as call scripts ; see the "Interpreter 1-7".

The problem is more that exe-files can't run natively on Mac. (Not Windows exe files at least)
Hence the need for an emulator. Emulators are not perfect so it might not work. I doubt there would any RGSS specific reason for it not working.
Well, I guess the requirement for a DirectSound compatible sound card could have an effect.

I don't really think you read the post properly. There is nothing about the RGSS being an issue.

Parrelels costs money and needs Windows OS to run which also costs money, cross-over is the best (as it doesn't need to create the Windows OS enviroment) but that also costs money.

Point your mac users in the direction of DarWine and you yourself should look into Cider.

So according to Cider's site, I'm understanding I have to contact them then they will produce a mac version free of charge?
