Let's talk hypothetical for a minute...
Let's say someone here, not naming names, likes macs, and let's also say that they have Virtual PC 6 installed on their handy dandy high speed low drag iBook G4 with windows 2K pro running, and let's also say that this person installed SFC1. Well, SFC doesn't seem to want to load past the "do you want to register" part. In other words, it doesn't seem to recognize my built in vid card as a vid card, so it won't load. Does anyone know of a way to make this work for me?
On a side note, thus far there seems to be enough processing power, even in an emulation to run the game, but of course, I won't know forsure until i get some expert help.

I believe you can't use SFC1. on a Macs as it stricky a PC game and miust use Vid. card for PC. don't believe it would patch all that well either if it was able to play on Macs it would say it on the box sorry.I think Nemesis can have look though.

I would go out and buy a PC a used one will do.I hope this is what you are looking fo and helps.

I already have a PC which runs all versions of SFC, it's just that I've made a move back to Macs since I've had my fill of crashes, blue screens, viruses and spyware. If I want to come home and play SFC I can with no problem, I'd just like to do it on my little iBook since it now runs Windows 2000

Might want to PM Nemesis Clark, he would know more about that then I would. He seems to be the resident Apple Expert on things like that, If It can even be done what with the Differance in openGl etc.

While the votes of confidence are very nice (and two people PMing me to help you) I must admit that I have never used a Mac and am unable to be of any help.

In the past though when the step daughter of a friend had a Mac problem I did get the solution from people here so don't give up hope. You might wish to repost with a topic that specifies that it is a problem with your video card not being recognized under Virtual PC on the Mac.

How dare you not live up to the expectations of others. I am highly dissappointed in you.

Good suggestion, I'm off to do that now, thank nemesis.

Maybe your Fluffbot code needs some error checking.

Get the misses in and tell her to bring her diagnostic equipment with her. Tell her these tests may take all night- maybe through tomorrow as well.

My apologies. I knew she had been ill, but didn't realize she was still that bad off. How long of a recovery is she looking at?

Not A Problem at All Clark, Right now to be Perfectly honest, It's Hopping she can Recover. Bah, I don't want to Think about It right now, Let's just say I have alot of Faith that things will turn out as they should, and there Are others Who Need Support more then me. After all, I have you guys, your Prayers, Wishes, etc.

She'll pull through, and Start giving me Hell once again for posting to much.

Man, I wasn't aware that anyone had ever gotten SFC to run on a mac. I thought Firesoul had some interest in the idea at one time as well, maybe he got something going, I don't know.

Clark Kent · « **Reply #17 on:** October 17, 2004, 09:50:58 pm »

I haven't gotten it working, just installed. Where does firesoul hang out?

Check the D2 threads, or Even The OP source Code Project threads.

I'm interested to see how it turns out too, since if you can play SFC on a Mac, it'll put the nail in the coffin of the PC for me for sure!
