I've always tried to stay away from parallels. It's expensive and I would rather do something like run my computer in bootcamp (which is already set up) but have my teammate's in OSX because all the code is synced to the cloud so it doesn't really matter what computer we code from. It looks like Parallels works great and good luck with it, but I just don't want to take the plunge yet. Thanks anyway!

EDIT: I added DirectInput 8 and I really hope it works, but unfortunately I can't test it out until later tomorrow. I'll get back with results though!
