The new version of Crossover Games (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/) is capable of running SWBF2 on your Mac. Try it out :D

Hang in there buddy. When you get a new computer you'll be able to run SWBF II and play online. I have it running on my computer thanks to AG here. :)

He figured out how to port it using crossover and it's been running on my computer ever since.

Before you had to do a lot of crap through Cider and Crossover (Legal Issues, Compatibility Issues, Difficulty, etc) but now you just have to install the game via Crossover 8.0 and you'll be fine. Right now all is needed is an Intel Mac (or a PC if you'll be fine using one).

Uh....what are you talking about PPC macs? O_o

Unfortunately, there is no solution for PPC Macs with the exception of the outdated and unrecommended Virtual PC for Macintosh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Virtual_PC).

if that will work with swbf2 then ill be fine with it
unfortunately, i only have 6gb available in hard drive so it better not take up too much room.
I just glanced through that link, and in pretty confused as to what it does and how to get it (as always when using wikipedia)

That does not work with games, as far as I know. You couldn't even install SWBFII with 6gb of HD space.

Your only solution is to get a new computer, either Mac or PC.

That's why I said it was unrecommended to choose Virtual PC. Unfortunately, it's time to get a new computer. :(

If you still run OS9 applications on your PPC (you shouldn't be) then you could use OS9 Emulation software after a bit of work.

it has been time since last spring.
unfortunately, any new computer is expensive and i cant buy one right now :(
Title: Re: Going to get swbf 2 soon
Post by: aeria. on November 09, 2009, 04:37:27 PM
PC's are relatively cheap now. Especially one that can run SWBF2.
Then again if you prefer using a Mac, it will be expensive :(

Note to Red: Don't bothering trolling in this topic...

It is true that i prefer macs, but i will definitely be getting a PC a, because its cheaper, and b, you dont know how many times i've gotten interested in a cool game to find out that ITS ONLY FOR THE PC (pcs are better for gaming)

That's good to hear.
Remember: That when a video tells you to install ActiveX, don't install it! It's fake!

Besides that, you'll be fine :P
