Kyshakk Koan Kennedy Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 What am I supposed to do with DMG file the Gebeforge 4 demo came as? Is it supposed to be renamed? Why not realease the file as a standard Stuffit file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish aixia Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Just double-click on the .dmg and it'll come up as a disk image. It'll act like you attached another drive. You then just follow the instructions you see when you click on the disk image in the sidebar in the Finder window. Disk images are really easy to work with, and as far as I know, there's no special software needed, so you don't have to worry about people not having Stuffit.

Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 What sort of Mac are you using, with what version of the operating system? (When trying to get help, this is always very good information to give.) Geneforge 4: Rebellion requires OS X. If you have OS X, it should be able to handle .dmg files no problem. Just double click on it and you'll see the installer. I am no longer using Stuffit because it doesn't work well anymore on new machines. Apple has declared that all must use .dmg files, and fighting them is unwise. :-) - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Stuffit went and left behind a GLARING backdoor opportunity with OSX, is riddled with bugs, and all kinds of security features. (Some of which we found out about during the beta no less) Apple went and gave them the bird by adding in built in compression utilities that offer better compression than anything stuffit offers.

Kyshakk Koan Kennedy Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Unfortunately I have OS 9.2 on my machine, that must be why I was having problems. Thanks for the info though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
