Fledgling Fyora ctbk Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've tried to install Geneforge 5, but after making me choose the resolution it keeps me saying that it cannot load graphic resources. I've got a macbook running Snow Leopard with a case sensitive file system, but the problem remains even if I move the G5 folder to a case insensitive drive. Can anyone run the G5 demo in Snow Leopard? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 It works just fine for me on Snow Leopard in both windowed and fullscreen modes. I've never reformatted my hard-drive, so If I remember correctly that means it's case-insensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Rare Blacksmith Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 About a year ago I posted some solution in this forum. But it needs some work in Terminal.app. G5, and now A6 do not run on a case-sensitive disk per se. All new Macs have their disks formatted now case-sensitive, journaled hfs+. The solution is to create an appropriate .dmg file, mount that and install G5 resp. A6 on that. The following commands did work for me. hdiutil create -megabytes 70 -fs HFS+ -volname g5 g5.dmg sudo hdiutil mount -mountroot /mnt g5.dmg Then installed Geneforge 5 on g5. That did it. For playing afterwards you just have to mount the .dmg file in Terminal.app. The mounted volume will show up in the finder. sudo hdiutil mount -mountroot /mnt g5.dmg Good luck. Edit: for Avernum 6 you will need larger .dmg file, something like that: hdiutil create -megabytes 120 -fs HFS+ -volname a6 a6.dmg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also... why do you need the Terminal to create the disk image? Is Disk Utility not good enough for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Disk Utility not good enough for you? You're right, that probably comes from my personal history as a Unix veteran ;-) Disk Utility does the job perfectly. Anyway you have to use the command line for mounting the image. The image has to be mounted on a path with strictly lowercase characters. The Finder won't do that ...
