Hi User555, We are going to teach you how to fish. Go to www.google.com and type in Direct X and OS X and you'll find your answer.

OnePlane Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Dudes.. posting bs like that just sucks. A. Shared Mem videocards suck/won't work B. Direct X and Mac OS X have -100% in common. C. If you need help, post SPECIFICATIONS of EVERYTHING involved. The know-how is here, be nice to get some, or be eaten.

kroeatschge Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Seems you try to run Windows Games on OSX. Make sure you have Mac OSX Version of the game and you should be fine.

OnePlane Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 TS wants to run games on Mac OS X on a non-Apple x86(_64) platform, but hasn't got any hardware acceleration yet. No hardware acceleration means: No hardware acceleration You cannot run anything that depends on hardware acceleration. Solve that problem by getting hardware-accelerated video, and you're all set. Emulating or using translation layers to run stuff still requires you to solve your hardware driving first. If you have games for windows or for mac and they need it, you have to get that first. System Profiler will tell you that Core Image is Hardware and Quartz Extreme is supported when you're done.
