Hey guys

Theres good news now for you Intel Mac Users. Its possible to run Windows Games like RO , Need for Speed , GTA Series on OSX. It will run as a Native Application , meaning that you dont have to load Windows or emulate it via VMWARE or so. Its pretty cool to show it off to your friends

Thanks to the so-called leaked cedega found in 'Heroes of Might of Magic V' , its possible to edit them and put your own games inside like GTA Or Need for speed and run them as a native OSX Application

Here is a complete how-to

but i just seen my friend using mac pro playing games as u stated..

but dont know is it running on mac os or windows..but sure with apple you can do many things like games and editing or many things i never seen at pc
...you can do at mac..

Going to try it! I want Tiberian Sun 3 and upcoming Starcraf in my Mac OS!

cool! free cedega.. love it!

Blizzard games have ALWAYS been MacOS native. Starcraft2 has also confirmed MacOS support.

- NFS Carbon
- NFS MW
- Sims 4
- Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I and II

It basically works , most of the games at least and they give you near i would say 90% performance you get in Windows. You might notice few 'lags' here and there but ey , you got that app to run as a native application under OSX without the need of reboot


This is not for noobs and it involves editing the plist to point to the fake installation directory. Read the guide there ten times. BTW I Tested , it even works with Pixel Shaders 2 , although it lags a lot. So I think that I need to have a kick-ass card now

Yeah I know, tested some old school game (not in the list) like Crazy Taxi & Biohazard 4, can see the intro & start game options before I freezed.

can someone comfirm whether GTA works or not...Thanks I really want GTA

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

I quote from insanelymac forum. This guy manage to get GTA:SA working but mouse problem.

Crazy Taxi does not work. Take a look at what games are supported by WINE. Most older games does not work as they check for some weird Windows strings and OSX is unable to mimic them ...

Too bad, for a macbook user, it's a "no-no" unless the pro user.

Aiya I too scared and lazy to do la, like so many things have to do wan...I'm not a pro so I won't do it...

Scare? Scare for what? You are not messing up your mac osx system or what. Just wasting your time and your hdd space... That's all

typical windowz phobia huh?
i've been messing around with my osx for long time now, havnt come accross any major issue (touch wood).

Any one tried BackRow?

Yeah BackRow aka AppleTV UI works fine on MacPros and even on real macs....You can get the whole installer {PM me if you want it}

Is it the same one here?
I tried that but it doesn't support other input method besides the IR remote. MacPro doesn't have IR

you need to change some text.. it can make the mouse as the input. Try search at insanelymac forum or pm prasys..

u meant the IR emulator?
lol... im pretty much fine with VLC for now.
will try those when im free, thanks alot.
