Macintosh version - Is it a possibility?

Nantuko Joe · 01-17-2003, 05:23 PM

This is for TMy more than anyone else.

I, most likely being the only macintosh user in the game, have a problem.

First off, I can't download the Downloadable Version, because my mac can't read the PC software.

Next, the game itself works, but goes VERY SLOW. So slow that I can't even pull off a Shinkuu Hadoken in practice mode. It takes almost a full second to do a quick punch.

Also, while in a server, the chat feature doesn't work. I type stuff into the textbox and hit enter...and nothing shows up on the screen. Also, noone else's chats appear on the screen either.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the game, or just the fact that the game doesn't work on macintosh computers. I'd sure like to find out though.

And there's maybe a 1% chance that it's a problem with my computer, because it's a two-week old brand new iMac G-4, 512 mb RAM, 80 gig hard drive with an Optimum Online (READ: cable) connection to the internet.

Is it possible that you could get a mac-using friend or associate of yours to help work on a mac version of the game, or do I just have to wait to get a PC before I can play again? (note, this is NOT sarcasm or anything, but a serious question)

hell yeah, i know what you mean !
i tryed playing during the spare time i had at school 1 year ago. very same as you except that the game was so slow that it took about 5 minutes to be able to auth to the game.

guess SHOCKWAVE wasn't made to play on a iMAC !
well, i know this, TMYAPP would have to RECODE the thing, because mac coding is way different then PC one !

so i guess its a NO NO to redoing for macs !
but i sure got a little IDEA for you to try !
if your mac is strong enough, you can try those MAC-TO-PC programs ! they are used by a lot of people because they can use their mac and use WORD 2000 on a PC at their jib later on !

i heard it was great and it worked like hell !
gonna do a search for you just to let you know some programs that those it !
its not difficult, you type "MAC TO PC" into a search engine and i'm sure you'll find things interestings !

hope it helped ya !

I wouldn't need Mac-to-PC, I'd need PC-to-Mac

and my computer came equipped with software to read most PC software/files...it's just that the system requirements and specs are entirely different for macs than PCs
