Right I've had a macbook for faculty for a while now, I feel like stunting a bit on it from time to time so anybody know how to get VC/LC/SAIVC to work on my macbook ?
I know it's available on steam but don't think I'll be able to stunt with steam games nor do I want to pay again those games.
Just tried simply to move over the pc files but it didn't work as expected :cc_detective:
Help me out :)

Hey darkyy! So I made the same topic a while ago but noone knew how to do it. First off you must know - mac cannot run .exe files, so simply dragging the pc files wont work. I think there was made a program to run .exe files on mac so I'll try to search for it. The easiest solution is to use bootcamp and just make a small partition for games. If its under 32 gb you can even access the windows partition from the mac partition. Lets try to find a way to do this without windows though, I'd like that too. The search begins!
E:
Open Any Windows exe File On Mac With CrossOver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T728W9LkN_U#ws)
Lets see if this works!

Ive got a macbook to and got vice city working theres a mac version of it search it on tpb :p but you cant stunt on it since theres no user files and stuff
-
Can I ask why you took a Mac in the first place?

Thanks for your reply Blue, I'll check that too later and search harder seeing as people doesn't seem to know the answer :)
Right Artifex but I'm pretty much sure it's possible to do, with windows emulation or such.
I took a Mac because it's way nicer to work with, no bugs, ergonomy, stylish, long time battery higher than any other pc. Best choice for faculty.
-
just use Bootcamp. Should work just fine. google it.
-
I know about bootcamp, was looking for something better. I don't need such a heavy program, it's only gonna make my mac slower and maybe even bring bugs.
I'll find a way to stunt on it easily, or just carry on stunting with the shitty family pc who lags on windowed Vice City hahahaha

GTA on my macbook! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhpXjk-AVFw#)
SUCCESS!

YAY ! I didn't have time to try Crossover yesterday but I'll definatly have a go at it today you sexy naked dude !
Sick stuff, and no heavy bootcamp. I'll update you by the end of the day :wub:
-
Dude if we get this to work for both of us we make a macbook duo lol :cheernutz: :wub:
-
I stunt on a Macbook, I use a program called Parallels.
-
I use vmware. It is an ugly solution so I'm well keen to hear about your experience with Crossover.
-
can't believe we have TWO mac users in USS :(
and they aren't even from USAmerica!
-
I don't use my macbook for games anyway :cc_detective:

Hey M3rrix! You should use crossover if vmware doesnt work for you. I cranked all options up to high, and it runs completely smooth. Awesome! Go to youtube, just download crossover from the link in the description, install and afterwards just open gta and it'll work :) also get the cpu booster that the same guy advertises in a related vid, it really works :)
So yeah everyone I'm running VC, LC, SAiVC and all the other mapmods with 30 fps all options high :) Go get crossover! :D
And yeah Raskal parallels is very demanding for ram and also cpu, Crossover will defo be smoother as it runs in the mac os :)
-
Hey I'm afraid it didn't work on my macbook, I've got a white screen as white as my macbook every times I tried to run it which compelled me to restart ! :cheersad:
-
I used Crossover at a time. I also had that white screen that you mentioned Darkky, I just kept clicking and pressing enter and it eventually lead to the main screen. I might give Crossover another shot, but I do enjoy Parallels being that it gives me the entire Windows platform in sync with my Mac OS.
-
vmware chews up resources like a motherfucker. still, i need a PS2 controller to stunt and i doubt that crossover would support my USB connector and the required driver. i might give it a try one day. good to know people have had success with it.
-
@ m3rrix and Raskal, did you try pressing space instead of enter? I get that white screen too and only space works :lol:

I'm having trouble figuring out how to get Vice City!
Edit: Nevermind, I guess it's not out yet?
-
Since I've been able to run VC/LC smoothly on my macbook, I was wondering if SA would be able to run on it ? I'm sure through crossover it could work aswell however will the computer handle it ? Anybody here tried it ? :euro:
And do you guys know if there is a light version of the game such as Nitzkit's VC and All Beast's LC ? :cc_detective:
