The program GGDT will not work on my computer for some reason I downloaded it off of The Halls, ad followed all of the steps, but it still didn't work. Does anyone else have this problem, I have a mac, and was wondering if there was an alternative program that would work on mac

If I remember correctly when I took a computer class it allows you run windows on a you mac so you can use both the mac os (operating system) and the windows os. Now I don't know if you want to do all of that just to run the program.
You could check craigslist or ebay for a hella cheap xp computer for like twenty bucks.

GGDT runs with Wine if you want a free way to run GGDT. Here's a tutorial on how to do it on Linux. The steps should be similar for a Mac.

There also are two cross-platform simulations that will run on a Mac given that you have Python (which, I believe, is included). Neither of which are particularly robust or easy to use, though, I know at least the one I wrote will give you basically the same numbers as GGDT. See this page for more information and some links if you want to go try something else.
