*DAMN R6 Forum

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a MoH demo for mac...thx

Not to my knowledge.

I asked Aspyr like 2 weeks ago (maybe longer) and they said they are looking  into a MoH:AA demo.

nopes , not yet... and jjus buy the real thing

I got a question. My dad has a Powerbook G4 550mhz and we can't get MoH to work, everytime we try to start a new game it loads up til a point which it freezes on everytime, anyone know why this is happening? ??? ??? ???

are you in osx? if so i think u need 256sdram and make sure your virtual memory is turned on

Which OS is the right question.

BTW, Virtual Memory is always on in OS X... the OS handles it differently then OS 9

Mysterio.... are you using a pirated version of the game ?

Because when I first sarted playing mohaa, I was trying it out on a pirated version, and it always crashed. Then I got the real game and it worked like a charm... Try buying the game.

ulti, i bought the game, and i checked and turned on virtual memory and it worked, ty voot



Ps, in os 9

I myself am not too sure if MOHAA would run smoothly enough on my 400 iMac DV, so a demo would be a suitable thing. It's funny how Aspyr forgot to mention a demo...

-Beef.

Exactly. I wanna know FOR SURE if MoH:AA will work on a (these are all in OS 9.1)
1) G4 450, 1 gig of memory.
2) G3 400 PowerBook, lotsa memory (I think like 512 er summat)
3) G3 333 Beige, also around 500 memory
4) G3 500, not sure about memory, but assume it's enough? ;)

First,
I know of a number of people running MOH:AA on iMac DV 400's.  They all said the framrates are down, but it's still acceptable.

Second,
from my own experience, MOH runs much better on OS X then it does in OS 9.

Third,
except for RS, why do you still run OS 9?

Fourt,
see the third point!

Fifth,
if it's not working in OS 9, it's probably your carbon lib files... try downloading the latest from Apple.  

Sixth,
in OS 9, to make maps load faster and such, make sure you have extar ram allocated to the program (I give it 400megs).  And turn VM off if you don't need it.

Seventh,
just use OS X!!

Ok?but would they work on those 4 'puters?

Work, yes.  It will work on all of them.

But you might have shitty frame rates on 2, 3, and 4, because of old video cards (that woule be the biggest question.

To the best of my knowledge (with the disclaimer that I'm far from being an expert in this area), OS X will work fine on the G4 450. If I recall correctly, every G4 model is supposed to be OS X capable. OS X will run with varying degrees of success on pretty much any G3, ?I think. I've heard of people running it on some pretty outlandish models. A 7600, FFS? I would guess that the G3 500 will run X just fine, while the others will run it, but a bit sluggishly. Personally, I'd just install it on them and give it a look-see. It's not as though you can't get rid of X if it doesn't work on a computer. : )

Er?but would they work on MoH:AA I mean? Thanx anyway, Lo! :)

Pooga, read my post right before Lothario's... I say it depends on the video card as to how well it will run on each machine.

Loth, OS X will run on any "G" series Mac.  I have it running on my wife's old iBook 366.  OS X was slower and clugier on G3's for a while... but the last two updates (10.1.4 and 10.1.5) made that gap close up a bit.  But OS X runs find on every machine I still run (have to go back to the old 603-e chips before it doesn't work).

    Ah, very interesting. Also good to know. Thanks for the info, Grifter. : )

I have the latest CarbonLib and OpenGL versions (1.6 and 1.2.1) for MacOS 9.x, if not MacOS 10.x. All I'm saying is I'd like a demo, just to try it out.

Weyall, would an ATI Rage 128 with 16 megs of VRAM (yeah I know that was nerdy) be pretty much be on the border of a good 3D card?
the G4 450 has an ATI Radeon with 32 megs of VRAM. Would that run ok also?

    By current standards, 16 MB video cards are obsolete. 32 MB is considered a minimum these days, I believe. If you can afford to drop a new video card into the G4, do so. You'll have a much better gaming experience. You could probably pick up a Radeon from eBay or the like without too much expense, although it would be very wise to do some research into what video cards are compatible with your computer (and more importantly, which are not compatible).

    You probably wouldn't have much trouble running it with the Rage 128 card, but you'd have to really knock down the detail settings. Hell, I had to turn down the detail settings in RtCW on my G4/733 with a GeForce 2 MX in order to get framerates above 30.

Well, the G4 450 is the one with the Radeon 32 mb. So that one shouldn't have any problems?

Man, I wish they'd get a demo out really soon so I could definately tell what will work and what won't (very well).

I should think that a G4 450, running X and using a Radeon would run the game just fine. Of course, only trying it will actually show the truth. : \

Bondo and Mauti are running it on G3 400's.... Mauti's is an iMac, which means it's probably only got an 8meg ATI rage (maybe a 16meg).  Still worse then what you have, and they aren't really complaining.

Either way, the G4 450 with a Radeon is in the game specs, so stop wondering.

BTW, the specs for MOH are lower then RTCW... and it shows... graphics (for MOH) are much smoother on my GeForce4 even.

Okee thanx y'all! I e-mailed Aspyr if they could tell me the minimum date of when the demo'll come out, and if they say around August, then I'm buying it. TIMMAH!

Ok, Aspyr just replied to me, and they said that it "will be some weeks away." I'm gonna hopefully order it today. Woot, I hope it runs well 'n stuff!

That's great news pal.

I have run both RTCW and MOH on a G4 466mhz, geforce 3, and 768megs of ram. and i must say that for me, wolf runs alot faster than MOH. Even though my proc speed is below recomended, i average at 50-65frames per second with everything on high. In moh, i get 40fps, with medium settings, with a ocasional framerate drop at like 15frames per sec.
I can play a game that isn't recomended for my computer at a good level, but a game that should run on my computer well doesn't (even though its based on the same engine) wtf is up?
