Not sure where this should go so I'll just put it here. o.O
Don't know if this solution for playing SRO in Macs was mentioned before (I searched but found nothing), so I apologize in advance if it was. =)

I have a Windows XP partition on my Mac that I only use for Silkroad. Today I stumbled upon this app called CrossOver Games (version 7.0). I read on the website that Silkroad Online was not working with this program, but I tried it anyway. :P After downloading and installing the program, I opened the Silkroad installtion file and to my surprise, it started working and installing. =D I finished installing the client and downloading the updates. So no more Windows partition for me! w00t!

Image

I should also note that Silkroad on Mac runs MUCH smoother and loads much quicker than the one on my Windows partition. o.O It just feels a whole lot more responsive. =)

But MACS suck =D. At the hotel I was staying at in New York, they had a Mac, and it totally sucked. From the Keyboard to the Monitor, to the applications etc - I hated it. Everyone to their own, but I much rather regular desktops, the only decent thing Apple made were iPods, and even they aren't amazing!

@Snoopy

I do a lot of graphic work on my computer and I find making projects on my Mac to be a much more pleasant experience overall. =) There are just too many interface inconsistencies in Windows that I've found frustrating to work with, or just plain annoying. XD But I suppose to each their own.

@Rainigul

lmao XD
It's only my friend in the academy and some random guy, and neither of them ever want my help. =( And they won't graduate either! >=[

http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/ <- Link to the official website =)
But I'm impatient and got mine through a torrent. :>

I'm pretty sure it will work on a MacBook. =)

Code:
Requirements--
Mac Version

    * Intel-based Macintosh system running Mac OS X (note: CrossOver Games will not run on PowerPC systems)
    * 120 MB of free disk space
    * CrossOver will run fine on both Tiger and Leopard versions of Mac OS X.
    * Some low end Mac systems with built in Video chip sets may not be able to play high performance first person games at full frame rates.


Search for 'CrossOver Games 7.0'.

How is this a a PC vs Mac thread? o_O

I made the thread to let people know that it is possible to install and play Silkroad Online on a Mac system. I don't see how you deduced from this that the thread is supposed to be some sort of pointless debate. :?

EDIT: Yeah, rumpleKillskin, it's not a free product lol. Which is why I got my copy from a torrent. XD

the "free" way would be to download wine through ports, and use that. (like it's done on linux)

You like making pointless little arguments???

OT: Ya, so I installed the program, got sro to install. I hit start, but now when it go's to the login screen, its just the cursor, a black screen, and the login music. Any clue on what it is doing??

It's either being gay with a Mac.
Or beyond stupid with a Dell.

I want neither to be honest.

Yeah, Dell's are retarded.

Where's the picture of the one that's like "PC - Mac" And then it's like, "When your webcam breaks", and the whole mac is gone, but only the webcam on the PC is gone.

That's what happens on my computer too, after you get that, wait for like 30 seconds, then click, and it should work.

Are you using the trial or did you get the patcher for it? Also, repair your permissions lol. That seems to be a big issue with CrossOver.

Just open up Terminal and type;
Code:
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

Hope that helps. =)

I recommend you find the patcher to remove the trial lol.

For Terminal, just go to the Spotlight search and look for Terminal. Open the app and type the command I wrote on my previous post. =)
