and then use that as the new "app" and will automatically launch with the installed version of boxer. Then take out game.boxer file buried in the game app. Also I0.6 is still supported with the last version of boxer (not sure about the standalone version used by gog which is newer code) but you can download Boxer.app and install it wherever. Download your own version of dosbox and use that. Works with any wineskin based app.Īlso any dos based game can easily be made to work on 10.6. app open it up click on wineskin, and search for change engine to switch it out with the new one. Use it to download the Base and the latest wrapper on the list, then go to the SS2. Wineskin itself still supports 10.6 even now. I know this is old, but the only reason SS2 doesn't work for 10.6.8 is because gog created their own wineskin engine and compiled it for 10.7. I've used Wineskin/CrossOver in the same way to run a games, including Baldur's Gate II. I can also play the game out of the box on the same settings, perfectly, in CrossOver too. My own custom port works absolutely flawlessly at full 32-bit 1280x800 resolution in 10.6.8, on both a 64-bit Core 2 Duo MacBook, and on a 32-bit Core Duo MacBook, running Intel integrated GMA 950 graphics. However, using Wineskin I created my own "port" by installing the PC version of System Shock 2 (which according to the PC requirements should be able to run on my hardware) in a Wineskin wrapper. According to the official system requirements for the Mac OS X version, I can't play GOG's Mac version of SS2. I've posted some comprehensive tutorials on the GOG forums on how to do just that.įor example, my primary Mac right now is a 2 Ghz GMA 950 Core 2 Duo MacBook (10.6.8). That being said, in the case of SS2 (and other games with PC and Mac versions on GOG), the PC requirements can be a hint that you *may* be able to run the game on your Mac by downloading and installing the PC version in Wineskin or CrossOver. Thanks! "Caveat Emptor" applies here to some extent I can't really sympathize fully as the system requirements are pretty clear in what the "official" Mac version will run on. Anyone had this issue?Īlso wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to run non-Mac games on 10.6.8 (IE Baldur's Gate 2). When I ran SS2, when the game loaded, all I saw was a giant pixelated poster from in the game, and then if I hit the movement keys, it shifted from blue/white screen, to weird colors, back to pixel poster. I just downloaded System Shock 2 to my MacBook (2009) running 10.6.8. which lets you run Windows within OS X without having to reboot into bootcamp. You can also purchase virtual machine software such as VM Ware Fusion, Parallels, etc. Though sometimes the tests are old and don't reflect the most recent versions of Wine. A good site to check out is the Wine AppDB which contains user tests of tons of games under Wine and indicates how well they run. You will want to get one of the "wrapper" programs which makes installing and setting up a game in Wine much easier. I would suggest emailing support.īut for playing non-Mac games on 10.6.8, it is absolutely possible, I do it all the time. I can't help with your System Shock 2 issue, I just bought it a couple days ago and haven't tried it yet.
