rogabean Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well I can give you good news about Crossover Mac for you DVD Shrink fans... It's a little buggy and you need to select the DVD drive as a folder... but it works! I just ripped a dvd using it. edit: ok it's super buggy at the moment. I just tested the ripped files and they are full of artifacts... so strike earlier comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tested the ripped files and they are full of artifacts... so strike earlier comment. I noticed that as well. For me it froze during the analysis, but you could see artifacts galore and plenty of green frames. But maybe Alpha 3 will work better. At least I hope so, cause this is the best DVD ripper/encoder out there, and it's free! Who knows, maybe they'll even get the nero plugin working...

ras Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I've heard it doesn't feature a list of open processes/applications (such as WineHelper in Darwine), is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogabean Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Alpha 3 is a big improvement over Alpha 2. I will say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 In this new one, I've been able to install and run HL2 with about 20FPS. Not too bad, but the fonts ingame are like corrupted..any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bittered Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I have alpha 3 but I haven't had a chance to play around with it as much as I'd like to. I used alpha 2 quite a lot and I wrote a mini-review of it, feel free to take a look - http://www.davejeffery.com/journal/crossover-mac I'm going to test ou a few games with alpha 3 and maybe I'll write another review.

torncanvas Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Is there a specific link somewhere to download the beta? I'm on the list (private2), but I can't find a download link anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torncanvas Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Nevermind, found it! Apparently the beta page isn't linked from anywhere on the public site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatux Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I wonder if Cedega will also jump on to the MacOS X ship. xboxrulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacApprentice Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Cedega has already been discussed here somewhere I think, Mac OSX port is called Cider (Apple... Cider... bad joke...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogabean Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Aye.. Transgaming is working on something. Sadly it will not be end user and will be licensed to Game Companies instead for porting. Disappointed me, as I've been a paying member of Transgaming since the very beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBee Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 am using crossover alpha 3 here. works a treat! very very impressed. previously using parallels and also tried q. this makes those obsolete for me to run winslows stuff. running office 2003 in crossover is so much quicker than running office 2004 mac through rosetta.

milesce Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Playing with Alpha 3 of Crossover Mac now. Can't seem to get Quickbooks to run -- it finally installed okay (under Win98 bottle) but won't actually launch. The good news -- so far -- is that I got steam installed and running, and it at least launches Half-Life (I haven't tried HL2 yet). !!!!!!! Can't get HL to run full screen yet, need to figure out how. It runs in a window, looks like 600x800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesce Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 So far: Half-life will only run in a window, it doesnt detect any video driver so it's small and jerky and performance is generally lousy. Installed Office 2003 -- Word, Excel, Powerpoint all launch and run MUCH FASTER than Office 2004 for Mac (which is running under Rosetta). Can't seem to get them to print though -- if I can get that going, I'll probably dispence with office mac entirely. Outlook isn't supported yet, hopefully will be soon.

sev7en Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I'd like to run latest Office 2007 Beta2 but Windows XP bottle is still a missing feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I tried running Trackmania Nations, but i keep getting an error about illegal disc mounting or something like that. Very funny to get that message on a free game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
