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 ?

oh: "This title currently does not work on systems with an ATI card."

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.

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

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.

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

[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

Reading configuration.

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\

Anyone want to help me out

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?

No, games wich requires cd, dvd don't work yet.

 

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:

 

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

 

should do the job (note: not tested).

does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix the error

 

GTA

Cannot find 640x480 video mode

 

thanks its driving me NUts

 

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.

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).

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.

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....
