I wonder how you run the game on macbook....

Post by rohitggarg »

Hi,

I got a new macbook pro (quite insane configuration) and some Lion version of operating system. Tried to download the installer for mac, as i have the CD with me. Tried to run it and it popped up saying "no support for classic binary so can't execute".

Is someone aware of this thingy? any alternatives anyone?
Regards,
Rohit

ok ...don't go off topic here we don't discuss the pro and CONTRA of a Mac.
Maybe you should try to write in a Mac forum too ...

You asked for a alternatives. Steam version of UT maybe you should give it a try?!
Steam installer should work on current OS.

Afaik there's no way for current Mac OSs to run UT ("retro-compatibiliy" is a word that does not exist in their dictionary, even microsoft and linux try to keep things as retro-compatibile as possible with older stuff, Mac 0 - Windows and Linux 1).
Not sure though, but don't get your hopes up.

I just did this with another long term player and he finally quit trying too. It just won't work as things are.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

Ok I asked some IT-cracks here in my office ...nothing simpler than this ....use Boot-camp and install a Windows version on your Mac-book. Or because the OS is based on Unix give Wine a try. I hope this can help you

I'm very far out of my element here but I think it won't run on the newest Mac OS version. I'm not sure why (can't remember exactly) but this is a good question to post for the BUF'ers.

Or use wine/cedega to run the game. Back in the day when the Mac binaries DID work, the game still ran better if you just ran the windows binaries using wine/cedega.

UT seems to run fine with Wine over here. In fact, it runs much better than the horribly broken and outdated native Linux port. I hope it goes well for OSX too.

You probably get best result by using Bootcamp (dual boot with Windows).
