sethoramma4 · 05-12-2008

Does anybody know of any games that have been tested working on os x86 (tiger)? i have tried a ton of demos from apple's website, simcity4, and age of empires 2.
none work.
any suggestions?

Do you have QE/CI working on your video card?

what is that?
i have a nvidia geforce2 MX 64mb.
which if you look on the sim city 4 page is what htey say is good , im pretty sure.
with age of empires 2, it gives me a message to restart my comp... so thats not good.
and with SC4, i get a message that it will "launch with my software drivers" or something like that. dunno whats up.. i tried tribal trouble too.. didnt work at all. AND now peggle deluxe doesnt work either- tried it- on like all of these games i get a "_____ quit unexpectedly, close-report-reopen" message. something has got to be wrong.
i dunno whats up.

oh okay, i found out wat qe/ci is. here are my video specs- used macvidia drivers (1.8?)

Macvidia drivers don't support QE/CI if I remember. Try Natit, it could support your card.
That is what I use for my Radeon HD 2400.

i looked on the os x86 wiki, and it says something about the geforce mx 400 (which it says next to my card) not being supported...and having some type of difficulty.
so.... should i not install it and just deal with no video/game?

It won't work; you wont' get 3D acceleration. Cards under the 5xxx series aren't supported in any way.

@Driven: Natit is for ATI cards only.
