Is it possible to play either Oblivion or Test Drive Unlimited on some kind of crossover application?

Thanks
 
I've heard of people getting Oblivion to work using the Cider engine. I haven't tried it, myself, so I can't give a firsthand account of it.
 
Crossover will not comply with either games, remember crossover only works with games that dont really require Direct X.

use cider from now on it works much better.
 
Oblivion will install but gets funky as mentioned, Open GL and Direct X don't play well together.
 
Ok, I installed Oblivion using Cider, but what now? Is there anything else I need to install to make it work? I dont need crossover as well as cider, right? I can't figure out how to actually run Oblivion, I need help on what to do, please.

Thanks.

To play Oblivion I had to download Oldblivion. It lets you run it on systems with older/worse graphics cards. I have a Blackbook and that worked for me, but since you have a unibody you may be fine. Just try it out and get Oldblivion if needed.

lol does oldblivion have all the same content? quests etc? just worse textures/models I'm assuming? sound? also are you playing Oldblivion via crossover?
