gbfgbfgbf Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 ... and I'm increasingly incompatible with everything... I am a first-time Mac user and have recently dipped my toes into the world of emulators. Does anyone have any idea how I could get the game to work on my computer via emulators or even natively? I might even (gasp!) buy a legit copy of the game, but shelling out the money for a PS2 or even a PC, for that matter. Also, I think trying Boot Camp (where Windows runs on your Mac) is a little extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbfgbfgbf Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 OK. Is there a way to make a legit copy work on a Mac? Like I said, I am more than willing to buy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm not sure about that. I've never used a Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 consider yourself lucky you have a mac. you're a step ahead of most. mark my words and the date of this post. mac will in the near future be the standard in our homes. yes that is correct. with their teaming with intel, and their media blitz, and gates announcing he will hand the windows development reigns over to the next in line at microsoft in 2 years. what does this mean? well you can dig through 1000's of threads for my long drunken and highly embarrasing rampage about a year ago when i originally predicted this. in short i predict- mac takes over our computing world, microsoft concentrates on domination of the home electronics/ media market. it's already happening. 8 out of the 10 of the entertainment industry people i work with here are using mac and have been for some time. it's not simply because macs are better for editing. you can build a windows machine just as powerful. the downside is that once mac is master it will get hammered and hacked and exploited and attacked as much as MS does now. already is starting. expect vista to be one of the last OS's from MS- if it ever comes out at all. short story- stick it out- soon everything will be made for mac. oh and if you have about $10,000 laying around - drop it on mac stock and retire early. wish i could... anyhow, i'm fairly savvy at working on a mac but, not too familiar with manipulating window apps to work on them. aren't they shipping with bootcamp installed now though? this is not a new mac? i know some of the first released intel macs did not have bootcamp bundled, if that's the case i would call them surely i would think- they would send you the software if you made a big enough stink. or maybe you have an older or non intel chip mac? in that case i would PM five- i think somewhere around here he helped out another member a couple years ago with the issue. it may be a hassle though and bootcamp may be your best option. good luck.

gbfgbfgbf Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have an iMac (Intel) bought a few months ago. Yes, Boot Camp is an option, but is it worth it just for baseball? And didn't I buy a Mac to get away from Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yeah, you probably did, but thats the reality of things. Windows owns the gaming world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee4Life Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Mr. Yankees4Life's post was a shimmering example of a the unique blend of "comedy" and ignorance that has peppered the majority of this thread so far. First of all, I am not Mr. Yankees4Life. I'm just Yankee4Life. Secondly, exactly what problem did you have with what I wrote? You've been a member here for over two years and you have three posts. In your case, it is probably three posts too many. I don't know, at least with Yoshi's Island he wouldn't ask honest questions and get snide replies in return. Kind of like that one! That was a snide remark? It was meant to be funny. Obviously it went right over your head because maybe you couldn't grasp what I meant. <---Now that was a snide remark. See the difference? Class dismissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastflink2009 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Yes I don't see how making a joke about Yoshi's Island is being snide. All Y4L was saying is that if it were him we would never settle for Yoshi's Island over MVP, he wasn't criticizing/being ignorant. Plus I don't see how a joke has caused ignorance, explain that to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbfgbfgbf Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 No offense taken. I just figured if the hack was possible (again, for tebjr's sake, with a legit copy), then you guys would be the ones who would know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagteq5487 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Has anyone actually tried to get the game to run on a PC? Main issue: is DirectX a requirement, and if so will the game only run with it? I have tried to run some games on my 3-month-old Macbook Pro and it did fine with Magic: Online (yes, i know...) but failed to load any Half-Life 2: Source-based game. I suspect this is because of DirectX requirements but have never found out. I ask b/c I've been playing MVP 2005 on my Gamecube for quite a while now (is it wrong to be heading into the All-Star game in 2013 in Dynasty mode?), but I've been itching to try and fix the rosters to represent how MLB is today. I really don't have the urge to go out and buy either a PC or an XBox and those versions of the game, but I'd be willing to go get a PC version if i didn't have to get another platform to run it on. Thanks for any help -JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 It works fine, I run it on a Macbook. Boot camped with Leopard and Tiny XP (a optimized build of XP that's 400mb n uses 40mb of ram.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagteq5487 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 lol honestly i just realized that this thread died in 06. Search function wins? Also, is it preferable to use Bootcamp or VMware Fusion to run XP on a Mac? I've been using VMware and it's been fine, but is that why the high-end FPS don't run on my "PC"? -JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronmexico Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Definitely boot camp, because you're not running the OS virtually, but actually running it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
