i just got this for my Mac. do i need to download SA for the windows, or can i use the mac version in parallels? im confused how this works

You are booted into Windows, aren't you? If yes, then the Windows one.
You can't run sa:mp in osx anyways

well i just got parallels. windows 8 is downloading now as we speak. so i need to download SA for PC thru parallels?

edit: i have steam with SA for mac, if that helps

[Forever Alone]

Better buy the game, ffs.
But yea, you need the windows version of san andreas. Only sad thing is, that the steam version is not compitable with sa:mp, you'll need san andreas version 1 or 2.

so once i get the pc version to windows screen, just download samp and it should work?

SA-MP only runs on Windows for the Windows version of GTA: SA. As long as you have that, it will work in Parallels.
