Well-Actually War Trall Khoth Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I got a shiny new Mac, and BoE won't run on it, because it needs Classic. But I'm persistent, and crazy, so I didn't let that stop me. I now have the Windows version of BoE running under Wine using Linux emulated by Q (mac port of Qemu), connecting to an X11 server running on my Mac. It's kind of slow, and fiddly to set up, and there's no sound, but it works and doesn't involve installing Windows on anything.

I know I could just look up the answer to this, but I'm lazy: that's all free, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk D Pliss Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 n/m Darn it, I need to figure this out sometime. Disregard these when I accidentally do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'd say Boot Camp for your new Mac, but that's probably not what you had in mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Khoth Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Boot Camp would require restarting to play, and buying Windows. I may well do that anyway, if I end up wanting games with steeper graphics requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Milu Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I've thought about buying an old PC in the future. Or maybe a new one, since PC games are easier to get and much cheaper. But I won't do it until my 5-year old mac dies, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoned Roamer rivka Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Sorry, but I'm a computer illiterate. How do I do that? I don't mind the no sound (I frequently turn mine off), but talk of servers scares me. I only have the one computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
