treyhamilton25 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I was just wondering if anyone has gotten any games to actually run on their Hackintosh. All mine crash before they start. Or I have to force quit them. I'm so lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yes, games work fine, no problems here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ugh, I'm still new to all this, so I guess I don't have my setting right or something. Hell I don't even have sound yet, and any big image, i.e. video thumbnail, ad, etc, are all flickery. Guess I still have kinks to work out. Warcraft crashes before it even starts. And emulators for games I DO own wont work. Something about PowerPCs are no longer supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 GxApi: GLL Shader Model: Unknown Vendor ID: 0x0000 Device ID: 0x0000 Device Name: (null) Driver Version: Video Memory: 0 MB AGP Memory: 0 MB Â This is one of the errors it gives me in the crash info.

Gringo Vermelho Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Your video card must be fully working (ie hardware accelerated OpenGL) in OS X for games (and lots of other stuff) to work. Â Intel GMA HD is a marketing name that covers many different models of Intel on board video. Some (like the 4500 HD) don't work in OS X at all and probably never will. What model do you have?

treyhamilton25 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have looked everywhere. And the only thing it tells me is intel gma hd. Or, Intel HD Graphics Core i5. I can try to find the link to my specs if you want. Â Edit: HERE they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It looks like the GMA model used on Arrandale CPUs like yours is the 5700, which is not supported on OS X. This means that you will not be able to play games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 So I guess I'm better off on windows then? Â Also, where did you get that info from that page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I didn't. I found your CPU on the core i wiki, then googled which model is used on the Arrandale family Core i CPUs.

treyhamilton25 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yea, I searched for a more in depth spec on it and seen. I'm so disappointed. So I'm guessing I'm not supported on any Mac os then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 That's right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyhamilton25 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well, my gf's Dell is Intel HD 3000. I've heard that is supported. Guess I'll play games on hers, and just use mine for projects and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
