Cooooooooooooooool!!!! That's just amazing.....
So what are the limitations of this? Are there any maximum specifications fro games to run?
manan
another request if some 1 is uploading the package plz dont use megashare ...
HChKn
Here, as posted above: My mirror for the template: http://simpleupload.net/download/88750/HOMAMV.zip.html

And no it runs at almost the same speed than the original, because it just adds the Win32 and DirectX API Calls to OS X and doensn't emulate a whole PC.
som3on3
thx for the mirror WordsBG

ariadri

You may want to look at my tutorial. You'll need to copy the game content inside it.

Alright. I'm going to try SimTower and get back to you all. I know it's an old game, but it's a classic.
And I'm only doing this because SimTower Mac is only for PPC and will only run in Classic mode or OS 8/9.
After that, I'll try out some more fun stuff such as Rainbow Six: Vegas.

EDIT: No dice for SimTower. I wonder if it's just because it's not a 3D application. That really shouldn't be the case as Cedega (the basis for Cider) is designed to run any Windows apps.
Also, going to try Star Wars: Battlefront later as well as Tribes 2.

EDIT2: I couldn't get Tribes2 to work, either. I don't really get it. I copied all of the necessary .dll files and edited the Info.plist but still no results.
Also, I'm not going to try Rainbow Six: Vegas because it's SM3.0 only and Cedega only supports SM2.0, so I'm pretty sure that it's same to assume that Cider only supports SM2.0 as well.

I got oblivion to Kinda work, the only problem is the mouse seems very sensitive, even though I lowered the sensitivity, anyone have any ideas?
fobis
Okay, this is kind of pissing me off. I've tried 3 games now and none of them work.
Apparently, Oblivion and SimCity 4, NFS:U2 and NFS:MW work. How come none of the games I tried work?
Would anyone care to rewrite a tutorial or something? Obviously, I'm missing something very important.

EDIT: Sorry if I came off as a little impatient here. I'm just tired and I'd really like this to work with some games...
Any help is greatly appreciated...

I Sortof got Oblivion working, but the graphics dont display correctly, its all white
RandomX
wow this actually works!

i have NFS:Carbon working perfectly. but i don't have surround sound, is there a directx plugin i should add to "system32". plus the colours are a bit screwy and i have the wrong resolution, and i cant use the custom res changer because im not technically in windows....


but im glad it works! thanks

I spoke som3on3 yesterday on irc, and he said he coudn't get it working with 10.4.9
So basicly everyone who got it working here is running 10.4.8 or lower ?
HChKn
I'm running 10.4.8 Tubgirl Final (for MAD) with 10.4.9 Upgrade by Myzar (for AMD). But I haven't tried to many games yet (because I don't have them all installed), I'll try GTA: VC today and perhaps some Sims-Games (cause my sister should have them installed on her PC).

Oh and I almost forgot. There's another cider game out there. It's some WoW-Clone Online Game. You can find informations on the cider Homepage. Maybe someone can try to run something with this one, cause I had no time to research to much about it, but the "demo" for Mac is only about 40mb. Good luck.
som3on3
ok...
on 1049 works (forgot to add AppleHDA driver biggrin.gif)
RandomX: can't you change resolution from game?, for me it works
fobis: read the tutorial carefull, maybe you missed something
and for full surround i will have to do some searching, if i will find anything, i'll let you know.

the game you mean is Myst Online: URU Live. you can download the demo from apple
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/game...ineurulive.html
riws
Does it work with ShaderModel 2 cards? Myst Online requirements says: Intel GMA950 chipset not supported
I have 5900XT and only black screen is my result
Prasys
I wonder if i can port Star Wars KoTor or KoTor 2 to the mac , it would certainly kick ass
som3on3
yeah, cool, SW rulez too
i will try Supreme Commanders biggrin.gif
after i will complete my working projects biggrin.gif
Prasys
http://www.mediafire.com/?3jmnj9exbdx <-- crack for Most wanted [ thanks someone]

Again I am speechless , it works fine. I gotta say I am pretty amazed that it works in the first place

A place to check if your game works

http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wik...he_Old_Republic

Again GMA 9xx series is not going to work as they lack of Hardware Pixel Shaders and other complex stuff. On the other hand , DX8 Games would 'just work' fine

HOMM5 works with Intel GMA, manual says, but Myst has in plist file, that Intel GMA 950 OpenGL Engine is "InsufficientRenderers". On my Intel PentiumD SSE3 + 5900XT + 10.4.9 none works, in console i get "wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger..." or just black screen or black screen with mouse cursor
Suzuka
Anyone know how to edit the Registry in transgaming?

This is exactly my problem on 10.4.9, even though I also tried the same things in 10.4.8, I always get black screens before the main video of the game, then I'm thrown back to desktop. My console sais the same thing as you.

Is there a workaround for this error:

"Cannot find 640x480 video mode"

This comes up with GTA 3 and Vice City.
Is there a command line command which sets a custom resolution ?

//edit

oh: "This title currently does not work on systems with an ATI card."
from http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wik...uto_-_Vice_City
cyclonefr
Tried Tomb Raider Legend, Virtua Tennis 3, or Sam & Max.. All don't seem to work. Managed to edit the registry manually editing the reg files in Transgaming. It seems games that have some menu before launching the actual game (to configure the resolution, etc) don't work.

And yep, NFS does work on my hack.
Suzuka
Morrowind won't work, at all, odd because Oblivion at least ran o_O
Kaspers
How about the command & conquer series biggrin.gif.

Same here with my NVidia, so *that* is not the problem :/
Will try San Andreas when I've got more time. Oh and I could'n get "Sims: Life Stories" to work, too. Seems like NFS-Titles work best at the moment.
ariadri
gta san andreas works but there seems to be some graphical error that i get
for example the people are just white figures
other than that it works ok
on hackintosh 10.4.9 nvidia card 7600

hi
for all testers, try change the windows version frrom 98 to xp
from /Users/your-username-/Library/Preferences/Heroes of might and magic V preferences/config
edit that file and change from
"Windows" = "win98"
to
"Windows" = "winxp"
hope it will help get more games running
prasys had a succes with Star Wars
Kaspers: There is an osx versionof C&C out there
and Cyclone, please try the winxp and let me know
cyclonefr
Will do in 15 days, don't have the time for now... Deleted all the games... Anyway I tried Command & Conquer 3 in win98 mode and it didn't run.
And this is where the registry is... So maybe the games didn't work because of the registry... Will modify the reg as well puting the right keys in it, but not now.
Suzuka
Anyone want to help me with Oblivion, I'm basing it off this guide
http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wik...s_IV_-_Oblivion
After installing, and getting Oldblivion on, you have to change the registry, which is in ~/Library/Preferences/Heroes of Might and Magic V Preferences/system.reg

At the top you have to add
CODE
[SOFTWARE\\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion]

"Installed Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion\\"



[SOFTWARE\\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion\1.00.0000]


But now, Im getting an error from Oldblivion, in the log file, I get
CODE
Reading configuration.
Checking for new versions.
Trying to determine installation path.DONE
Installed to:
C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\

Anyone want to help me out
wingk1314
tried need for speed most wanted.
it's definately playable.
the speed is a bit choppy though.
and the sound aswell (probably due to my USB sound card - can anyone confirm the choppy sound?)
and there's a few gfx errors such as black shadows from objects and cars.
Other than that... I'm pretty amazed it works O_O.

Going to try other games tonight.
Will update on progress here.

P.S. does anyone know if games that require DVD/CD's will run?
Aivarz
Just wanted to say that there is no need to copy game files. I made hard link to game folder on win partition and everything works. That's in case of NFSC.

That's not totaly right, I think. If it need the CD/DVD to check for copy-protection the answer is no, definitiv, but just loading files from a cd/dvd is posible. Just add a new device to ./Contents/Resources/Preferences/config. Something like:

CODE
[Drive T]
"Path" = "/Volumes/DemoDVD"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "A Demo DVD"
"Filesystem" = "iso9660"


should do the job (note: not tested).
ariadri
does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix the error

GTA
Cannot find 640x480 video mode

thanks its driving me NUts
som3on3
WordsBG, that was already tested
it crashes.
That's why you need a NO-CD crack!
Gerard Slee
awesome.... NFSC runs at full speed on my mbp..... Thanks... i'll send updates of other games....

Sry, same for me with GTA Vice City. If you've got an Windows Installation (unlike me), then try to change the resolution inside GTA to 800x600 or whatever and try to find out where it saves this setting (registry I guess), check LOCAL_MASHINE/Software and such stuff. When you're lucky and find something we can use it to make GTA on Cider happen.
NeSuKuN
Oh god, you've found the holy grial. If I manage to get Ragnarok Online working with this... I'll kill the last windows OS on my home (I just need HL2->Crossover Office, starcraft->native and RO->cedega? to survive)

RO runs even on wine at platin state, so i should run very good at cider (even crossover mac (note: it's not crossover *office* anymore) should do the job quite fine).
Gerard Slee
Tried to get Counter strike 1.6 -non steam to load, but to do that i need to get into hl.exe. and switch to Counter strike, is there a exe which runs counter Strike directly....
NeSuKuN
kRO doesn't run neither on crossover mac nor with cider T_T haven't tested with darwine yet
som3on3
CS16 works more then fine under crossover.
Gerard Slee
true, but if you could make a self contained app it would be awesome... Oh but the cracked verion doesn't work on crossover...
Suzuka
Well, I've given up on Oblivion, it just wont work right, next week, my friends letting me barrow Battle Feild 2142, FEAR, and...I forget what else, but hopefully those will work
greenfrogz
I tried to play counter strike 1.6, and i followed all the steps from this thread. Too bad, I am getting an "Application quit unexpectedly". Any idea why this happen?
Lantern 303
Got GTA San Andreas and Hitman Contracts working. Changed "VertexShaders" = "N" in the config file to fix graphics on both but having control problems the mouse is way to sensitive on GTA so it's impossible to control the camera but the keyboard works fine but on Hitman the mouse works fine but the game can't see keys to map them how I like apart from that they run sweet on my iMac any idea's.
RandomX
the game is working great but as i mentioned before i only have limited resolutions. im on a 24" imac, so 1920x1200, the max i get is 1280x768 or something weird like that.... everything is distorted and weird...


any help would be appreciated....
