Hi,

has somebody tried to get rFactor or GTR2 to work on a Hackintosh? Is there a possibility to run it with an emulating software for ex. Codeweavers Crossover, or Darwine? It would work fine with Wine 1.1 on Ubuntu, but I think it is not aviable for MAC.



Thanks for Help

There is a Cider port of GTR2 on the Net (1,6 GB) - check Vortex torrent for example.

And what about rFactor?

Edit: Solved

How can I change the resolution in GTR2 and/or in other Games?


I need 1920x1200 for GTA San Andreas, GTR2 ...

How do you mean solved? Did you manage to get rFactor working on your Hackintosh?
I'm buying a G25 this afternoon, and I'd love to be able to play rFactor without rebooting, especially since I don't have Windows at home anymore, I haven't for 3 months now!
GTR2 running in Cider eh... I'll have to give that a go. No point in downloading the whole thing again!

No, I havent tried Rfator yet. At the moment there is no Cider Port. But I think it will work.

I got GTR2 working fine in cider this weekend, my G25 wheel wouldn't work properly though, although I half expected that. Strangely enough it didn't work well in Colin McRae Mac either, even though it's a supported wheel :S
I have a feeling rFactor might not work, it has some pretty weird copy protection on it. I know the trial won't cider never works with games that have windows open before the game starts.

I'll try and find a version of rFactor that doesn't load that screen, we could be lucky

For sure you can modify the rFactor files, that the screen doesn't shows up anymore. I will try it too with the rFactor Lite Version, which is free to download.

Yes, rFactor Lite might be a good idea. I'll give it a go now maybe, depends how busy I am today

EDIT: It's going to need to be a cracked version, I can't find a way to get rid of that screen in OS X
The 1255 version of rFactor has a crack that doesn't reqiure a loader, so I'll try on that

2ND EDIT: AWESOME! It loads fine, takes about a minute on my Hackintosh for some reason, I'm looking into that one, probably when I get home. I'm using the Lite version, if I get it working, I'll use the Full version later. Mouse isn't working yet, but working on that one

Okay, this is a bit weird, Mouse works, loads fine, and it automatically goes to the create profile screen. I enter the details, click create/launch whatever it is, and then it pauses. After a while, it'll just un-click the mouse button, and not progress past this point. I've tried copying over the profiles from another windows install with no luck.

Same for me. But Widescreen works :-) (1920x1200)

EDIT:

Same problem with the full-version.

Yeah, I'm able to get the proper resolution on mine, do you mean that widescreen mode works and passes that point?
Yeah I tested both, copied profiles across from windows PCs, all sorts of stuff. rFactor should carry profiles fine if you copy the right folder, but Cider doesn't seem to recognise this for some reason. Maybe there's a registry key missing somewhere.
I did try to force in the command line to load a specific profile, but I have to admit I haven't had a lot of luck with the command line in Cider, i've never noticed it actually doing anything
Let us know if you're able to get something interesting happening, maybe there's just something we're missing, it's SO close to working

Mabye someone can try to get Rfactor to work, who know Cider better than me.

Any news?

I haven't really had any luck, has anyone else managed to get anywhere? There is a new version of Cider out, I might give that a go and see how that goes if I get time today

Did you managed it to get it to work with the new Cider version?

Has somebody tried GTR Evolution with Cider, VmWare Fusion, Crossover or Darwine?

Yes, tried it with Cider.
Does not work.
Well the Race 07 game works, but the expansion (GTR Evolution) does not (yet).
The game installs GTR Evolution expansion in the game folder, but the path to the expansion, is listed somewhere outside the game folder, and I havent found out WHERE!

Apart from that stupid hick-up, the game SHOULD work.
I did get GTR2, GTL, and Race 07 to work anyway...
