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.

for xtra developers, here are some info about cedega

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"

Everyone, can join #games now on irc
let's go developing from there

how did you do it?

i'd love to know too?


RandomX

sorry, but proof would be actually explaining how to reproduce it. this looks more like a video playing fullscreen or some screen switching going.

no screen switching or anything else, this is a real deal

This means that soon enough we might get Windows Games to run on OSX or that Carbon got ported to OSX.

Sure, I can do that with my KVM switch too.

Fusion doesn't support DX9, as we all know. I've played Carbon on a C2D iMac under Windows though.

YES, you are right
i am trying to make Most Wanted now
see if everything is ok,
also i am trying to make a torrent to upload the game, so everyone can play
but my upload speed is too low
only 12k/s

and azurael, i am talking about playing games without windows

dude do u mind posting how u did it

Please tell us how. Crossover????

It's done with Cedega.

ROGUE is right.
done with cedega
and made as an .app
so everyone cand double click on it and play

cedega .. its a paid software how do u make an app to .app

Cedega is GPL licensed, so as long as you're willing to compile it yourself from CVS, you can have it for free.

Even if it does work, I don't expect you could get playable performance from this at the moment...

is very playble,
i am still searching for someone to make a torrent
to put it out there
so everyone can play
but can't find anyone
seems that NFS is not such a needed game on osx (

@azureal could u help with it coz i dont know much about linux or mac

som3on3, great work. you really should try to post up some tutorials on how to do this... I'm sure the community as a whole would greatly appreciate it.
I would love to see Rainbow Six: Vegas or Command&Conquer Tiberium Wars or Company of Heroes run like this. I really don't like dual booting, you see.
Anyways, if you need help seeding and such, I can try to help for a while. And I can even try to help port more games like this if you'd be so kind as to enlighten me.

som3on3, can you please

1) Post the compiled version of Cedega, that works on Mac ( I dont wanna install XCode)
2) Give a few pointers, on how to use Cedega with NFS Carbon

Seriously, why would I wanna download 4 GB again, so that I can play Carbon. It would be far easier to just convert it using Cedega.

me too want the cedega engine for mac and will it work for the other games also or only for carbon ?

Most Wanted works too.
I'll put an tutorial this night.

In about 3-4 weeks I'll be in a situation where I an setup a 24/7 fileserver with around 250GB of storage. If you can get the torrent *and* the files to me I could host. I'd also be game to seed Cedega (sorry, probably won't have static IP for ftp)

can't wait

how do icompile cedga/cider :?

How did you guys used Cider? Cider is said to be the Macintosh product, which is available only to Games Software Developers while Cedega is a Linux release. So what's the deal here?

--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

hold on guys
i'll upload the framework

thats great......i hope you are able to get more games working

I suppose you also need Cedega to get the trick to work. Can you tell us where to download it for Mac (maybe I just didn't look carefully enough)? Anyway this would be very kind!

How about reading before posting? Heros uses cedega to let the game play on a mac. Inside there is the Windows Heros-Version. What he did (and what is kinda genius) is replacing heros with carbon. So it'l execute carbon insead of heros. That's really useful. But plase uplaod an empty version of the game (with nothing inside) because i really don't want to download 1.6gb of an (for me) unimportant game just to try it out and perhaps play some gta on my mac. Thanks and contrats to this very cool information!

Instead of accusing me you can explain me how it should be obvious to suggest from the How-To posted that Cedega is indeed included in Heroes of Might and Magic V?
Anyway I agree with your idea to upload just the basically necessary files and folders. If this is not easier, it is at least time saving for those who want to try this method.

First because he said to replace the content *inside* of heros and he also said it works via cedega. Second because Transgaming (The Procducer of cedega) mentions it on their website.

The second argument seems more logic (or obvious) to me than the first. You still accused me of not reading the How-To which wasn't true and needed to be clarified by me.

what's the arguing about ?
play NFS
and say how it goes

Brilliant idea! som3on3 will keep us busy, I will try this tomorrow, thanks a bunch!
Do you think something like Lineage2 will run on this? I hope so!

can some 1 please tell me how to get cedega :?

heros of might and magic V is an cider-game. the how-to shows you the way to get cider from heros of might and magic

@som3on3 can you upload the necessary files and folder from heros of might and magic v

can some 1 upload the extracted files for cider ... tahnx it will be gr8 help to every1

Thnx to som3on3

thx alot. now i can test it

He sent it to me, too. I'm uploading it right away.

{will be edited}

so ... guys.. did you played NFS?
hows it running?

i doesnt have nfs at home but i've try it with San Andreas. Its not working. Now i test Simcity 4 Deluxe

not all games are running, to make them run, you need a little tweak on them.
the files i sent has dx9 to run, i'll try to find san adreas and test.

now i've tested simcity 4 and it works
but i have many popups and so on...

//edit:there is the video i've upload to show you the pop ups
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyDbPtatG5U

Also..., since we're speaking of games,
Starcraft II is comming
http://www.starcraft2.com/

I created a little tutorial how to make such games (and change the icons, to make it look better, but i guess you should know howto).
Anyway here's the pdf: http://www.box.net/shared/q2kklm4uxc

The Upload of the template will take another half hour, thanks to my slow internet connection (16 kb/s upload :A)...

edit:
Here's the Mirror: http://simpleupload.net/download/88750/HOMAMV.zip.html

nice WordsBG
like the pdf
i'll added on 1st page

This is really great. I will test this asap (i.e. when I have all necessary files). Big thx go to som3on3!

I tested every Need for Speed game after NFS: Hot Pursuit 2, in my system nothing runs. I get the black screen to the upcoming video from the game, then I'm thrown back to my Mac desktop.

I'm on a Hackintosh with 10.4.9, Titan, QE/CI enabled...

Please provide more more information about your comp or any logs file
also...
get Heroes V and see if it is running
let me know, thx
