The latest beta release of CrossOver Mac finally fulfilled my dreams of running CS 1.6, HL2, and CS:S natively in Mac OS X. Check out the vid for the proof! This was done on my 17" MacBook Pro just FYI.
THIS VID HIT FRONT PAGE ON DIGG, THANKS FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT ALL!

PLEASE DIGG IT!
:banana: :woot: :banana:
Aw damn just checked and PPC macs aren't supported. So much for 1.6 on my ibook :( That looks great though!
Yeah this is a whole Macintel revolution of getting everything to run from inside Mac OS X. One day, I'll never have to load Windoze again :D w00t!
What is CrossOver Mac?
It's an application that allows Windows programs to run natively in Mac OS X on Intel based Mac's.
And what kind of DirectX can emulate?
It currently works best with DX 7 & 8 but I haven't had any problems running with DX9 yet, so until I do run in to problems I'm going to run with DX9.
that amazing, and you sound very enthusiastic on the vid :)
I was extatic... I don't think people really understand exactly how awesome this is. Because the biggest excuse to I hear day in and day out about how "gay" a Mac is, is because it doesn't support 90% of all software (which really isn't true, there's a clone of just about everything for Windows on a Mac). So now, those people can all stfu :)
i think "most" refer mac being the actual computer gay than osx gay...Quote:

I was running Day of Defeat and it worked great even on my MacBook. Windowed mode does seem to work better than FullScreen thus so far. But they are getting there with it that is for sure.
Ah yeah, i bet ur right with the ctrl-click action... Didn't think about that *duh*
And final release of COMac is going to be so awesome, they have my money!
Not really native, your still running it in a emulator. That's all crossover is basically, just a artificial API.
In a way, yes. Because CrossOver actually allows the software to work with the hardware. The emulation really is only for the Windows codebase to work on Mac OS X, but the other aspects of the software functioning so well are that it's able to actually utilize the physical hardware in your machine.Quote:

Well I am poor and don't pay for stuff generally...I usually look for other means of getting it.
But if I did I would pay for it.
So did you steal that 2 thousand dollar laptop? Just odd for a Mac Book pro owner to claim poverty when it comes to a $40 piece of software.Quote:

Where can be found this SW?

Looks good, doesn't it?
Even though I prefer playing games via bootcamp - but for a quick CS round without restarting, CrossOver fits perfectly!
Just Google CrossOver Mac, you will find a site from CodeWeavers.Quote:

8,001 cool job FragTek
Fragtek....would it be possible to run a benchmark in CO and compare to BootCamp? This is freaking sweet, just wondering how much we can really expect from this....
Once I get the final release definately, currently no benching apps are supported with COMac yet.
What about the Source engine benchmark?
Hey Frag I like your other videos on there as well. You can always tell when your filming because all I hear is "Niiiiice!" LMAO!
I Can't Freakin' Wait Untill My MacBook-Pro Gets Here :slobber:
Lemme go give it a shot and see what we get!Quote:

Final result was 26.64fps all settings on high & no AA/AF.
Does that test feature HDR? I forget...
Ed.
26.64 ain't bad at all....I'm impressed :)
Thanks FragTek
de_rats . wow thats cool didn't think windows program can run on mac os. now to go im all ur friends. jp.
This is going to open a lot of doors to people and probably promote more Mac sales and all. Imagine what a Mac Pro could do. Someone get FUGGER to test it on one of his Mac Pros.

I run Source all the time via BootCamp, I still use it when I go to play (and I play a LOT). I won't use CrossOver until they have a full-screen fix out that doesnt cut off the top portion of the screen.Quote:
