Mac 10.8 question
« on: February 03, 2013, 11:51:47 pm »


               I just got a new mac mini and I'm dying here. All my fun things tell me I can't use them. Is there any workaround to let me play NWN1 on this new machine? Works great on my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (such a cuddly beast, Snow Leopard).

Thanks for any help. I'd hate to think I'll be consigned to WoW.. (ick)':unsure:'

               Use Wine, Bootcamp, or set up a partition to run 10.6

Unless NWN1 is re-compiled ( and rewritten ) to support the new mac frameworks, it's just not going to run on the latest macs. It would actually be cheaper to do what most ported mac games do now, and have them redone using an advanced wine wrapper. It might happen still.

( Blizzard always was the only company that truly supported macs, always surprised that this little studio that did all our mac games is the major player it is now in gaming )

               Thanks so much. I may just have to figure this WINE thing out. Now that I have drive space for it.
