rst007 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 hi all, i have osx 10.4.1 installed on my hackingtosh, he booted fine and everything work fien from hardware. Now because i'm a hugh diablo 2 fan, i tried to install this on my new apple, but he says that he cant instal it on this machine, i have the mac version from diablo 2, so if i try to install it on my original G4 he installs it with classics. Any ideas to install this on my hackingtosh? can i also get classics there to work? txs for people who wants to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin R. Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 10.4.1? Wow. That's relatively old. Only way you can do anything like classic is to try and run something like SheepShaver on your hackintosh system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 upgrading is disabled (afaik) with the current DVDs. if you have a reasonably compatible system, you could try the 'paulicat method' - this uses Apple's 10.4.8 combo updater and a replacement kernel and one kext. i've used it and it works for me, but then i have an intel 945 chipset and an intel proc (ie fairly close to a real intel mac). this compilation might help you: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=34871 as for sheepshaver, you could try the Universal Binary version here: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/sh...aver/#downloads you'll need a copy of Mac OS 9 (or 8, or 7.5 + a ROM image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezoflip Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) No, forget sheep shaver. u can download a universal native installer for diablo 2 from blizzards website here Edited March 1, 2007 by Jeezoflip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Would even run in 10.4.1 (if you have a GMA900/950) but you gotta have in mind that this game WON'T work if you don't have any display driver framebuffer loaded, whatever version of MacOS you are using (which you can have loaded if you have a GMA900/950, or any GeForce 5/6/7, or even ATI Radeon X1xxx ; for the ATI, you need at least 10.4.4, and if you have a GeForce you have to install 10.4.8). Hopefully it was helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(INTEL p4 3.00ghz lga 775 on intel 915gag motherboard with MSI geforce 6600gt tdi 128mb pci express, 1gig ddr ram) so i try again this evening. any sugestions to get my 6600 gt fully to work would be helpfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Get a new dvd, your hardware is compatible. Just get a new dvd (10.4.8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Your Diablo 2 error ocurred because GeForces aren't compatible with 10.4.1 as I told you in my previous post. Go get a 10.4.8 DVD (not .3, .4, .5, .6 or even .7 BUT .8!), and it'll work. No, you can't update from 10.4.1 to .8, sorry. Apple did to many changes. 10.4.8 combo update is only for .4, .5, .6 or .7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezoflip Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 well i have qe and ci on my geforce, and 10.4.8 and it still doesnt let me run it with open gl. It makes me run it in software mode, which like moves every 3 seconds. Its rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
