According to SONY, the developers for EverQuest: Mac left and so its unsupported. The platform for an EQMac would be completely different so, there would not be a version of 5.7-DR6 that is mac-compatible or something like that, if that is what you are looking for.

EQEmu can be used on Mac OSX and above... As it uses FreeBSD as its backbone OS... And because it IS using FreeBSD (unix basically) the Linux emu can be used.. This is all to say it CAN be done... Now how easy is a different matter... You would definately have to enable Linux Binaries (meaning that most things that are Linux specific, can be run on a FreeBSD machine)... check out this page and do some searching around for more information about it... http://www.freebsd.org (http://www.freebsd.org)

i'm afraid Mac isn't same byte ordered as x86 linux, and the code was npt repudly safe on this (dixit kathgar a while ago), but oh, well, ...
