Members in our team were able to get DS on to our Macs pretty easily through bootcamp and windows 7. It's way more expensive, but reliable that way.
It ran faster on windows 7 premium than it did on ultimate because there was more space to run the program in.
However, we relied on an Asus that was given to our team since it was devoted specifically to being the DS computer and had less chances of crashing.
