Some really good VirtualBox alternatives you can use So, there you have it – seven good VirtualBox alternatives.

I guess you mean QEMU's port Q (). I used Q some time ago and though it's a nice solution it lacked an important feature: you couldn't save the virtual machine's state. I had to shut down the VM, I couldn't suspend it. That may have changed, so I'd recommend that you test,, VMware Fusion (trial version ) and Parallels (trial version ). At least in my case, it's the little details that matter, so it's worth doing your own research and forming your own opinion. You will have to sacrifice memory and CPU for running a VM, but I don't think there are many differences between the three virtualization products (unless you want hardware acceleration for X11, then you probably have to go for a commercial solution).

I'm looking to use my PS 3 controller on my iMac for STEAM games that don't support PS 3 controllers, but support 360 ones. On my Windows PC, I would install MotionJoy and use it to emulate the PS 3 controller as a 360 one. Is there any way to do this on Mac? Ps3 controller on mac for steam.
