After we get some graphics drivers...

[Os Xp]

After we obtain some graphics drivers for the MBP and iMac, we should create a Half Life 2 XoM clan. I'm sure most people here will end up getting HL2, so why not? Just some wishful thinking

HA. That sounds like a plan to me.

As long as XPee doesn't turn my MBP into a squishy pile of molten aluminum an silicon, Im in!

Yeah, that was one of those implied "if it doesn't happen" factors.

You know, they had the contest for xom, and now theres a contest for booting vista (when they finally release it) on mac, but what about x1600 drivers? If I only had the money to put up we'd have drivers next week.

Chances are Extra's will provide us with the solution in the next day or so.

Only thing holding me back is gfx drivers. As soon as a working set are available then FEAR. HALFLIFE 2. will be on my mac.

I guess I might be wrong about DirectX never coming to the Mac...but I'm still a little skeptical. Writing those drivers isn't going to be a walk in the park, and will probably involve some heroic reverse-engineering.

Well we'd better figure it out soon, Lara waits for no man!

Her hair appears to be piercing her arm. Ouch.

I thought video was working on the mini's according to a thread on onmac.net. Did I misunderstand?

I don't think that they have hardware 3D acceleration yet...

Not sure though.

 

[Felldownthewell]

I have HL2 on my PC right now. I am so down for a MR clan, especially when the XP-on-mac thing gets sorted out, then I can play mobil-y

No, they have 3D. It took some reall screwing with different graphics drivers, but the mini now passes all DirectX tests. There's a screenshot of a racing game.

The install process sounds pretty darn complex though.

Hmm, does anybody know whether "effects" actually has a solution, and is being unfairly attacked by the osx86project people, or is he probably just a troll?
