It's out for Mac? If it's not, tech support may or may not volunteer to help. However for the post author, do a google search on "GTA San Andreas screen goes dark" and some links will appear. Will they help? Don know... :)

By same mac you mean.. exactly the same? As in same OSX version, drivers, and hardware?

I mean I could have the peneryn 2.4ghz MBP, 256 8600m gt, 2gb ram.. and my buddy could have a MBP also except he has a Radeon x1600 and 1gb ram.. it would be fairly obvious why my games would perform better than his and some games won't work on his. OR i have leopard and he has tiger -- that would make a HUGE difference because some games won't play on tiger, more specifically newer ones.

Actually, it hasn't been released for Mac yet.

But it's out there on torrent sites.

So, now that we know you have a pirated copy...

I doubt it'll ever come out for OSX either, since its now going on 4 years old, pretty much anyone that wanted to play it has played it by now on PC, PS2, or Xbox/Xbox360.

The market would be so small it wouldn't be worth the money to bring it out.
 
I guess "for Mac" means Ciderized version. If so, they are known to be incredibly buggy. I'm not surprised it doesn't work on your system.
