We have recently added a few sections like an extra Game Blog and a News Blog, and a Emulator zone called "The Arcade".
Most of the Game Porters already moved there.
Well Guys and Girls, its that time of the month again. Yepp, time for one more of my ingenious Ideas
So i noticed a recent takeover of Ciderised Games in the Games Section, some people are making big progress and some very little.
Others decide not to share their work of successful Cider Port and this keeps the question level and new Topics for these problems created rather high. Rather then digging through all the Pages and wasting hours upon hours of time to port a Game that others have done some time ago, lets collect all the modified Cider wrappers and post them here.
Lets do this as followed:
You create a Cider game that works good/ok/is a work in progress and Upload ONLY the modified Cider Wrapper to your favorite File Upload Website, and post the link with a quick Info what works/what doesn't work and maybe some general info and requirements here.
I'll add them to the first post here with a little info and instructions/screenies to make things easier.
Remember, what we are posting here is not against the rules, only the links to the Cider Wrappers get posted here.
When you want to play one from the Games below, you'll have to get the full game yourself and install it via Crossover/VMware/Parallels or a real PC, and drop it into the Wrapper posted here.
some things to take note of:
- dont just post these Wrappers elsewhere, but ask the person who did them for permission.
- alert me please if a download link gets taken down (only from the first post)
- include some info about the status of your Games, like i have below. (important)
- PPC users, the Cider Wrapper works only on Intel machines. but you knew that, right?

- CPU: Intel Core Duo Processor
- RAM: 512 MB
- Video: ATI X1600, NVidia 7300 GT, or X3100 Intel integrated graphics chip
This game will run on systems with the Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics chip, but not as fluid as a System with a real graphics chip.
Meaning: it will lag a little, and a little more in big Combat scenes.
3. Installing Game / using the Cider wrapper

- right click on the "Knights of the Old Republic.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
"Knights of the Old Republic.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/SWKotOR/"
4. additional installation Info / Performance Tweaks
-none from me
5. Known Issues
- the movies do NOT work, after setting the Game up, go to the Data Folder and rename the Movies/Videos Folder to something like this "!!!Movies", or simply throw them away if you don't want to keep them around (and they waste much disk space)
- if you quit the game normally you get an error massage with the title "Exception raised". ignore it, the exe doesn't shut down properly, so click "no"
you can always fast-quit the game (after you saved your game), pressing "Command+Alt+Escape"

4. additional installation Info / Performance Tweaks
- I managed to throw the save bug overboard with the new Cider Wrapper (the Game crashed previously when you loaded another savegame ingame)
- this Game is REALLY HEAVY on Graphics requirements, no use pleading for help for optimizing this here, just try to lower the settings if it lags for you
(and look at the links in the Known Issues point)
-you can add MODs
- i have added my Preferences Folder that uses some gamehacks and kills some of the Known Issues
start the game first without it, so it can create a preferences folder, then swap the config and ini files form my folder to yours (but this may not work for you)
it goes here "your username/Library/Preferences"
5. Known Issues
- the following settings MUST be turned OFF to avoid getting scrambled graphics:
Distand Land
HDR Lighting
Bloom Lighting
- HDR and Bloom do not work in this release. it is possible getting them to work, but it's a hell lot of complicated and it works only for some people
- the Game lags a bit when you kill an enemy (a known sound issue)
- if you run into an object on the ground it sometimes makes a loud noise (a known sound issue)
- minor issues with Sound
Optimizing the Game can be difficult but there are people who came to some solutions, lookie here and here .
