RandomX till i'll have an wide monitor i can't help you,
but you can try on goole to search for "cedega 1920x1200"
and change the config from the ~/Library/Preferences/
same with the games wich are not running
google will help you a lot.
Also... seems that cs1.6 has some problems with cedega.
i'll download cs16 and rest of the games (oblivion, gta...) to test
and i will keep you guys posted

Oblivion doesn't work, I tried disabling shaders and everything but all 3D part are like solid white with some black polygones. The menu is slow and the mouse too sensitive.
I tried those :
Oblivion not working (only 2D, slow,bad mouse support)
Secret Files Tunguska not working (only intro videos)
Guild Wars not working (crash instantly)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R not working

I'll try some others and report back.

Madden 07 - Perfect
Need For Speed Most Wanted - Perfect
Need For Speed Carbon - Perfect
Counter - Strike 1.6 Non-Steam - Doesn't run
Medieval 2 Total War - intro good, main menu doesn't display correctly so counts as a no go...
Checking Call of duty as i'm typing, and i know there's a mac version just keen to experiment....


Okay so call of duty 2 doesn't work....
i will try battlefield 1942 and sim city 4 tomorrow....
G-Force
Wow this is great, thanks for the discovery!

Battlefield 2 isn't working for me, the screen goes black and then it returns to the desktop.
kozlowski
We gotta make a compatibility list because I guess it's not the same one from Cedega on Linux.
som3on3
G-Force you need a NO-CD crack and add winxp version, read.
kozlowski, it's the same only files are a little different.
Also.. most games supported by cedega should be supported on mac too.
Till monday i am alittle tied up, but then i will start veryfing games and see howto make it work.
You can play Need For Speed meantime biggrin.gif

One more games that is running near-perfect: GTA San Andreas Used max setting with 1680x1050 smile.gif
There are problems with mouses sensitivity and all the people in the game have missing textures! The textures are present in some cut-scenes... But I suppose these are minor issues that can be easily fixed with some tweaking.

NFSC don't seem to have these problems but can't use widescreen resolution sad.gif

EDIT: Somehow I managed to mess up vice city and san andreas tongue.gif
Cyman
If Madden 07 works then it's certainly worth to try the same with NBA 07, FIFA 07 and all the other EA Sports series titles.
Soündless
anyone tried san andreas? i think someone should write up an applescript that converts it for you (i am just lazy like that)
hippy_dave
hi guys
thanks for the files & the info... i'm having a bit of trouble getting the heroes framework running, the only crack i've found won't patch my FreeverseLib file, it says the file doesn't match. please could anyone share either a crack that works with the version of heroes posted in this thread, or a pre-patched copy of the FreeverseLib? thanks! smile.gif

I used the demo, which doesn't require a CD... whistle.gif But I will try my full version some time.

Neither Tomb Raider Legend, nor Tomb Raider Anniversary work.
FIFA 07 doesn't either.
som3on3
i am downloading fifa 07 now.
and i will test. should work with no problems.
cyclonefr
As I told you, FIFA 07 doesn't run at all, though it works perfectly with Crossover.
Suzuka
NHL 07 doesnt seem to work, I get the loading screen, but then it goes black, then when I escape it (apple option esc) I see it flash back to the NHL screen really fast
when I run it windowed, I just get a white screen

EDIT: heres the error I get
Wine binary not found
This sound card s driver does not support direct access
The (slower) DirectSound HEL mode will be used instead.
This sound card s driver does not support direct access

Binary not found? whats that supposed to mean
wingk1314
hmm...
i see that the graphics quality differs with different gfx cards even with proper drivers.
My Hackintosh's 7600GT plays need for speed most wanted badly.
It lags (not really that bad but it's horrid compared to xp) and there's a few gfx errors where as Gerard Slee's ATI X1600 on his MBP seems to perform smoothly without any gfx glitches.
I'm assuming that the Ciger engine has been optimized for the gfx cards in original macs.
some one correct me if i'm wrong though.

So we probably have to live with the glitches dry.gif (hackintoshes)
Suzuka
I found a fix the the mouse glitches!!
Go to ~/library/preferences/Heros of Might and Magic V Preferences and open Config
Find
"AbsoluteMouseSensitivity" = "100"
and change it to
"AbsoluteMouseSensitivity" = "1"

or whatever feels confortable

Tried it on a MBP and NFSC isn't that smooth when there are lots of car in the screen, specially at the beginning. Otherwise, no glitches but I can't enable motion blur and road reflections so the game looks like {censored} compared to the DX9 version.

Hi all, the only game i use windows xp bootcamp for is guildwars. I now run it under crossover with no sound and all settings low and it is more or less playable. No way to make it run under cider ?
som3on3
cyclone, i have motion blur,
i only don't have the rain effect sad.gif

Has anyone gotten Steam to work? It works on Crossover but it is really slow. My brother plays Garry's Mod a lot. I (after much convincing) installed OSX on his AMD System. He has a 6600GT. It works using Crossover, but is slow. If I use Cedega it just crashes. No errors, no nothing.

If games are running slow on your computers, disable BeamSync. It nearly doubled my Frame Rates. Also is Cedega faster or slower compared to Crossover?
jpschoute
Oke it says in the thread that guild wars just crashes ?! someone who also tried it. IT will be rocking to play GW. I have a reather slow internet connection so, if someone could test it for me....
MacApprentice
I tried a few things with Guild Wars and it ALWAYS crashed Cider.

i'd say it's faster than Crossover.
I was playing CS 1.6 on crossover and althought the speed was ok.. there was a few minor gfx performance lags.
(which really shouldn't happen considering the low system requirements of the game).
On the other hand, Ciger handles Need for speed decently which is alot more gfx intensive.

Anyone tried Colin McRae Rally 2004 or Richard Burns Rally ?

Any help ?

I'm working on getting Joint Operations and STALKER working ATM. I'm running on a GMA-950 so I don't have terribly high expectations (the lappy struggles with those games under Windows). We'll see.

Fantastic, i'm running Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast smooth and without ANY glitches!
This is SO great!

update: yay! Far Cry is running as well biggrin.gif (graphic glitches as described on cedega wiki tho')
G-Force
Ok, I installed my retail copy of Battlefield 2 and patched it to version 1.41. Mouse sensitivity was way too high, but fixed thanks to Suzuka. Changed emulated Windows version to winxp, doesn't fix anything. Anyway, it looks like this:


Note: the full version runs right away. To get the demo working i had to change the pixel shader version from 1.4 to 2.0. But same result as above. Multiplayer doesn't work, game crashes.
curlyboy
First game i tried is Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast and seems to work just perfect until i get into actual game then olololololo my display is upside down any ideas

I DID IT! I got Oblivion to run at playable speeds, the only problem is, the mouse is a little twitchy, Unfortunitly, you wont get to far, once you exit the Sewers, the game will crash


heres my Oblivion.ini file, 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"

I got Wroms 3d to work....

Link the worms 3d.exe in the bin file and edit the config file in your preferences folder to 800x600 resolution and absolutemousesensitivity to 1... works great...

Here's a better version of Cider, it came with X3 Reunion, it seems to run Oblivion better, Im sure it will use other games better too

Ok so yes mouse support is really bad (it's unplayable really) and after some times the sound just stop working, too bad thumbsdown_anim.gif
I'll try to tweak it a little more.

sound works fine for me, btw, are you using the Cider file from my last post?

I'm using the X3 one, got it to load the game without going to the useless (X3 specific) launcher. I'll try some other games with it

nice work suzuka, please upload the files someplace else, so i can post them on the main page

edit: nevermind, I fixed it. The only weird thing is if I ask for file infos in the Finder it takes 3 or 4 minutes, locking the Finder...
