Rct3 Wild On Mac Ppc Or Intel! No Pc Needed!

[blindfolded]

Here are the steps I took to "merge" files from the RCT3 Platinum I purchased for Windows with the RCT3 Soaked I have installed for Mac OS X 10.6:

1. Install unshield

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/synce/Unshield/0.6/unshield-0.6.tar.gz

Place the downloaded file in the /Users/Shared folder.

Open the Terminal application and run the following commands as an administrator.

cd /Users/Shared
tar xvjf unshield-0.6.tar.gz 
cd unshield-0.6
./configure
make
sudo make install

2. Unpack RCT3 disc contents

unshield -g _Common -d /tmp/rct3 x /Volumes/RCT3/data2.cab

3. Copy files to Applications folder (except for water shaders)

sudo rsync -Irltv --exclude rct3.dgf /tmp/rct3/_Common/ /Applications/RCT3.localized/Data/

4. Fix permissions

sudo chmod -R go+rx /Applications/RCT3.localized/Data/

A preliminary check shows that it seems to work, but I would prefer that Atari/Aspyr releases a complete RCT3 for Mac OS X. There are a number of bugs that really need fixing (such as the water park crash). I will probably just end up running RCT3 Platinum under Windows with Vmware Fusion if that works sufficiently.

I may be bad at computers, so help me.

When I open Terminal, do I just type it in the window? I did, and nothing happened.

OK help please! I use a Wild! object and I get No SVD for SID. What do I do?

Getting a similar error here. I have done it once before on my other Mac, using the same tutorial, but I did use the video for reference. Unfortunately it is not available at this time.

Hey

thx. for the tutorial. But I've a problem. After the installation I can't open RCT3. It always sais me: "Please inset the original disc." But I tried with my rt3 mac version. rct3 soaked version and with my three windows version. It never works.

Do you know an anwser?
thx.

Hey, iChase! And Everyone with this problem! Try File Juicing direct from the CD or ISO! That should fix your problems!

AH! Thank youu!!! I've been looking at this thread for the past 2 days, and for some reason didn't pay much attention to this critical post 'til now...Thanks!!

And everyone, do NOT spend your time (~3 hours for some people???) properly copying the files from _Common over to Data manually. Just use the trial version of File Synchronization, which will do it all for you--virtually no room for error.

After the download [+ drag to "Applications" folder], open it up. Click "Add Pair." A lil' drawer will slide out on the right hand side In the question mark on the left side, drag & drop or click + Browse... for the _Common folder from the data2.cab file. On the right side, drag & drop or click + Browse... for the folder titled "Data" within Applications > RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. Click the arrow in between the folders until the arrow is pointing only to the right. Click the "Synchronize" button & relax...

EDIT: Ooops! Well this got me in a BIG mess. The original author failed to mention that if you do this process exactly as stated, you will lose the ability to see bodies of water...AT ALL! But to fix this, BEFORE you do the synchronization, move the file called "rct3.dgf" from /Applications/RollerCoaster Tycoon 3/Data to the desktop. THEN, after the synchronization, drag and drop the "rct3.dgf" back to the /Applications/RollerCoater Tycoon 3/Data folder (replacing any existing one).

I failed to to this. To fix it, I put in the ORIGINAL RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 game CD, went to /RollerCoater Tycoon 3/Data and drag-and-dropped the "RCT3.dgf" file and replaced the one that was there. Then I had to re-install soaked from the CD. None of my data, including Wild!, was erased.

Good luck!

!!Extra hint: Hold down "command" button (

) before clicking on the game. A secret options menu will pop up, allowing higher resolution (full screen mode for you wide-screen users!), more graphics options, and more!:

(pretty sure it's Soaked! expansion only...)

And remember, all of you that are having chronic freezing problems with your game, TURN OFF SHADOWS. COMPLETELY. Fixed my glitching/freezing problems perfectly. Haven't had troubles since, besides a few crashes, most likely unrelated...

Hope I helped some people out there...ENJOY!

Whenever you type something in the terminal window, you have to press "Enter" in order to execute the command you typed.

Bump.

I can't juice the data2.cab file anymore. What happened?
