Just have to reboot. Played some NHL06 on it, and the game looked beautiful. Probably the requirements for TOW are bigger thou. But will TOW take the advantage of the two core processors?

H.W. Guderian Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Is the BF team aware of this? LINK Windows games coming to Intel Macs Gamer Scan has an article about "Cider," a portability engine just released by TransGaming. The software promises to relieve developers of the delay usually associated with porting Windows games to the Mac. Where such ports normally require total code conversion, Cider should eliminate that by using a shell that wraps around an existing Windows code base. It operates by first loading the app into memory (on an Intel-based Mac), and from there connecting to an optimized set of Win32 APIs. No further work is necessary. TransGaming says it expects titles using Cider to ship within the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think it is recommendable the last 345 times I tried it in the last 14 years. Runs CMx1, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 or you can get one of the new Intel powered Macs and use a software from Apple to install and dual boot Windows XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megakill Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 We are thinking about maybe usigng a third party developer to make a port. But definitely not simultaneously with Windows release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucero1148 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 This version of cider seems very promising for Mac users buying into the new MacIntel systems. If it really works as well as it claims to then I would hope to see all of BFC's Windows games wrapped in cider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Cairns Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Rumors about the WWDC on August 7th, suggest that Apples may be moving to "virtulization" where you would be able to use "Leopard" to run windows programmes, without havig to use "Windows", We may know more by this time next week.

Peter. If it's virtual OSes then you do run Windows, but you don't boot your machine into Windows. You have a virtual machine running Windows, inside you real machine running MacOS. It works like VMware always did. The big question is whether they will have Direct3D support in there. That has been a huge challenge for all virtual machines. VMware just started giving out Direct3D beta versions which are limited bejond usefulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
