My girlfriend is currently running Leopard and she wants to use a certain playstation game playing program. I set her up with a trial version of Crossover Office but it still has a few undesirable bugs. I'm an experienced Linux user with lots of knowledge of Wine's configuration options but not enough experience with Macs. Options?
native osx binary of the ps emulator? Dean Xelinis wrote:> My girlfriend is currently running Leopard and she wants to use a certain playstation game playing program.

No, it's too buggy. Plus, I'm talking about a different program, one that starts with an 'e.'

You can Google for his web site and download his Darwine builds for Intel based Macs and try the latest one to see if the problem you encountered has been fixed. If it has not, please look at the Applications Database to see if the program exists for workarounds and/or bug reports. If the problem you are encountering is not fixed or has a workaround, please check Bugzilla if as bug report exists. If no report exists, please create one. Thank you. James McKenzie
Yes, I am aware of Darwine but I've heard mixed opinions on how to get it up and running. Some say Fink, some say Macports, others say compile from source. However, at the same time, I've heard complaints about all of the above options, particularly with OpenGL support. I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can clear this up.

Like I said before, my experience with Macs is a bit limited.
