Tom Haymes Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 If I understand the problem correctly the problem with making CMBO work on OS 10 is that there is insufficient support for Classic RAVE. According to Apple's KBase document 106963 OS 10.2.4 does contain Classic RAVE 1.8. Why then does CMBO still not work? Anyone care to enlighten me? Unfortunately, my new PowerBook cannot boot into Classic so I can't use that workaround. Thanks in advance. Tom Haymes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Tom, I've just grabbed 10.2.5 and will see if that fixes anything, but I doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 CMBO should work in Classic with software rendering, which means your maximum resolution will be 640x480 and your textures will be downsampled heavily. So the game's performance isn't going to be that great unless you got a fairly fast CPU. I believe that you need to remove the 'Classic RAVE' extension to actually run CMBO however (I can't accurately recall the exact details right now) and boot into Classic. OS X will replace the extension on the next boot, so you'll need to repeat this process often. Apple's numbering of the RAVE extension unfortunately doesn't guarantee that it is fully backwards compatible with all RAVE calls. The previous RAVE extension under OS 9.x supports more RAVE calls properly than the 'Classic RAVE' extension that is part of Classic. Either that or Apple just plain flat-out broke RAVE and can't code it correctly anymore.

tar Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 As perhaps expected, 10.2.5 doesn't change anything. I tried both CMBB Demo and CMBO Demo (to avoid having to load the CD), and both of them went to the "Loading 3D Graphics..." screens, but didn't leave them when the background music started. In CMBB the text was not visible, appearing only as white boxes. Oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Haymes Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 I guess I'll just have to run it on my G3/233 beige box - it sucks that it isn't portable anymore - it was a great time suck on the plane. Thanks for advice all. TH PS: You can't boot into 9 anymore with the PB 12 and 17 that just came out. TH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
