Hey everyone,

Been following the topic for a while but just can't get GTA: San Andreas running.

At the moment, it goes fast through the splashscreen until it reaches the 'Made for Nvidia' logo than freezes.

I usually wait a while and then press the space key or click (on the trackpad) which makes the game suddenly boot up to the San Andreas logo and just as quickly quit.

I'm running Cider on a MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo on Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Howie.

i "found" a ready .dmg of nfsc on the web . Installed on a clean system leopard 10.5.2.

The game starts for me but crashes at random times for instance sometimes during the game or sometimes at the first screen. i believe the problem (looking at the console) is this :

are u asking for need for speed most wanted widescreen hack

Search and Download 'Universal Wide Screen' software

 

after downloading do the following in windows,

 

1-You would have to change the .exe file , from which u start the game to speed2.exe

2-Select underground 2 in the tab

3-Patch the .exe file to whatever resolution you want

4-Finally run game and change the game resolution to 640x480 and u will have whatever resolution you patched it.

5-Once it has been patched it can be run in OS X with the same resolution.

Note: You can use this with any need for speed and many more games listed in it.

 

wow, you answered :( my 1-year-old Question thzz lol

well, i was asking if i can do this in mac, but the things turn out it can .....

here is a proove :wacko:

 

Most Wanted works too.

 

Here is how to do it!

--HOWTO--

1. you need and NFS Installed Cracked version (no-cd crack!!!)

2. download Heroes of Might of Magic V for osx (search ussaul places)

3. apply crack on it and see if is running (if it does your good to go)

4. Do show package contents on the heroes app and go to "Contents/Resources/trnasgamming/c_drive/Program Files/" and put there Your Need For Speed installed game

5. Copy this dlls from windows into c_drive/windows/system32/: d3d9_24.dll to d3d9_32.dll (you can find this dlls on the web too)

6. Open Info.plist from Contents folder and change Cedega Game dir and Name to:

<key>CedegaGameDir</key>

<string>c:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need for Speed Most Wanted</string>

<key>CedegaGameName</key>

<string>c:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need for Speed Most Wanted\speed.exe</string>

 

Or what's the folder you put in transgamming/c_drive/program files/

Save the file, cross your fingers and click the application.

Let me know if it works, and if you have other questions.

Also... seems that oblivion works too (thanks to suzuka)

here is how

edit Oblivion.ini file and put it in

 

/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/Heroes of Might and Magic V Preferences/p_drive/My Documents/My Games/Oblivion

 

There are also some other changes to your config file (Located at /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/Heroes of Might and Magic V Preferences )

 

find

"PixelShadersLevel" = "1.4"

and change it to

"PixelShadersLevel" = "2.0"

 

and find

"AbsoluteMouseSensitivity" = "100" (or simmilar)

and change to

"AbsoluteMouseSensitivity" = "1"
