I use RSR converter. Told Poser 7 with the latest updates converts  rsr files on the fly. Have not tried it yet.  Old habits die hard. Real old Daz installers will not work on OSX. If you buy an item that has the older installer Daz basically says tuff beans. I redown and use the windows installers. Has become a minor pain. Whereas before I had an intel mac it was a major pain.

I do dual boot all the time and run XP for Morphing Clothes, TC2, XD3, etc. There are some real old Phyton scripts that have problems also, New ones seem to be cross platform for the most part.

File paths to assets like runtime/geometries/yadada/obj will not work. They have to be : instead of /.

My Intel mac has an older Nvidia card. I do have openGL issues from time to time. Have a new card on order. PoserPro rendering crashes if you have the monitor set to millions vs thousands of color. Hope the new card solves that. Might be my machine as it is first gen intel MacPro.

Mac un unpacking zips over write files unlike windows. Granted I install 100 percent by hand into over 20 some odd runtimes.. PhilC has an installer helper that stops that. But since I install by hand, I have never tried it.

Been a Mac head since Apple II's Used to the interface, etc. Each OS has it's pluses and minuses.
