First off, I have :mad: Mac OS 9 :mad: , which is probably my problem. Now, my problem: The genforge.demo.dmg file downloads, but it cannot open. It also cannot open with Stuffit Expander. Any ideas? -------------------- Rate me! All your base are belong to us. Posts: 6 | Registered: Tuesday, December 5 2006 08:00 |

If you're using OS 9, I'm fairly certain that it [i]is[/i] your problem. Geneforge 4 requires OS X. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Dude, it's time to upgrade. Mac OS 9 was only ever designed as a bridge to OS X in the first place. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Current computer can't hold it. 350 mhz G3 processor,6gb hard drive (full), 576mb RAM (recently upgraded with a 512mb chip). It's one of the first iMacs around. At least I'm planning on getting a new iMac in March when Leopard comes out. -------------------- Rate me! All your base are belong to us. Posts: 6 | Registered: Tuesday, December 5 2006 08:00 |

I don't think Jeff even beta tested OS 9. Still you can always email him to check. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

It was a tough choice to make OS X required, but using the old, outdated system calls to maintain the compatability was starting to hurt the game. So, in the end, I didn't have a choice. :-( - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Good thing I will be getting a new computer in three or four months. Everything about this one is breaking. It crashes at least once an hour now. Wow, I've been graced by the presence of Jeff Vogel himself! Cool! :D -------------------- Rate me! All your base are belong to us. Posts: 6 | Registered: Tuesday, December 5 2006 08:00 |
