If you really want to play Geneforge 3 on Windows, you should know that it runs fine on SheepShaver Mac emulator. I've tried it with MacOS 8.6 and it works almost flawlessly with sound. There are occasional hangs so please save often, but anyway performance is acceptable. Posts: 1 | Registered: Wednesday, April 6 2005 07:00 |

Google is your friend: http://www.students.uni-mainz.de/bauec002/SheepShaver.html The above is for BeOS and Linux only, though. The Windows port can be found below: http://gwenole.beauchesne.free.fr/sheepshaver/index.html -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I downloaded and tried to launch it. It says "A required .DLL file, SDL.DLL, was not found." Anyone know what this means? -------------------- Take the Personality Test! Deep down, you wish you were a stick figure. Posts: 1629 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Downloaded SheepShaver and installed; downloaded SDL; downloaded Geneforge3.demo; moved the cd driver thingy to \Windows\system32\drivers. Now, what exactly do I do to run Geneforge 3? I assume I have to tweak these to my "needs". The problem is, I don't know exactly what my "needs" are: disk X:\Path\To\DiskImage rom X:\Path\To\MacOSROM cdrom Y:\ Thanks.

The complexity and amount of effort needed to make it work just exceeded my desire to make it do so. I'll just wait the 3 months, as usual. Thanks for your help though. -------------------- Take the Personality Test! Deep down, you wish you were a stick figure. Posts: 1629 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

I concur. I fix one thing, something else doesn't work. By the time I get it working, the game will be out for Windows. Posts: 8 | Registered: Tuesday, April 19 2005 07:00 |

<,Hehe... Me too i would'nt need an emulator, but i dont have a mac.>> Yeah, so what the heck was the original point of this thread? "Yes! You too can run Geneforge 3 on a windows PC if you don't have a Mac! All you need is an emulator, and a ROM which you can get off of a Mac!" Huh?!?

Well, there are ways to get a ROM image from a Mac without having a Mac yourself, but none of them are legal so we can't talk about them here. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Then, its a pointless thread, since to have a mac rom you need a mac, but you said is on windows, but if we have a mac, we play it on the mac, so we wont need a rom file. It's likely that we need to wait till summer to get it. -------------------- Finished Sub2 levels: Shop"keep"er Machinery Complex Machinery Complex2 Machinery Complex3 Machinery Complex4 Munchkin City In progress: None Abandonned: T.E.L.E.P.O.R.T Sub-Way Posts: 80 | Registered: Saturday, November 6 2004 08:00 |
