New001 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Still, it doesn't work. I don't know how it works on yours, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbettcher Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Well as you can see here it works quite well. I haven't noticed any glitches yet. Full screen works as well. I also own a iMac G4 20", so I have a whole whack of software and games. I have yet run into a problem running any of my old games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when I try to run Halo, it quits telling theres no symbol "usleep_" in the 9700GLDriver Kext. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbettcher Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I haven't touched any ATI kexts. It just worked out of the box. What version of Halo do you have? The version I am running is 1.0.2 Display: Type: VGA-Compatible Controller Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x5b62 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New001 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Ok, since Halo 1.5.2 doesn't work on my x86 mac I downloaded 1.0.2, (don't ask how) and my CD-key from my purchased copy WORKED for it. Now I'll only be using 1.0.2 for my x86 mac until/if Macsoft releases a UniBin patch for Halo mac version. Thanks to MetalFishX on #macvidia on freenode, I understand now why Halo runs slow as it is (under Rosetta). He/she said that the PPC CPU has to distribute that shaders to the GPU, thus requiring Rosetta to do so, all the time. And the fact that I'm completely stuck at 1024x768 in Halo (CAN'T change res?!?!? ), isn't good, I had to trim down some settings, AKA Shadows off, Particles off, 30FPS cap, etc. So now I know why Halo runs slower than I thought it would under Rosetta. A UniBin patch would be a definite improvement in performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know why i have that bug since the demo is 1.5.2... Thanks for the tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsSam Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 my CD-key from my purchased copy WORKED for it. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you can use any serial number for Halo. I remember when I played Halo for Windows, I just typed in random letters and number and it worked. They may have upped the security since then, but if you're using 1.0.2, the security should still be as basic as it was when I played. The Mac version may be different though.
