However, I just discovered that Fallout 1 and 2 is available for Mac (which I have).But after doing some researching I also found out that newer updates of Mac laptops are messing up the games due to the color display changes or some crap.Has anyone here had any experience with that (theres some reviews about it on Amazon too) I really want to play the earlier Fallout games but I dont want to get them if theyre not going to work.Id delete this topic if I could but Im either too stupid to find the button or only moderators can.
So if someone wants to, theyre welcome to:P Metalspork 23:07, April 10, 2010 (UTC). Of course, you do need a copy of windows for this one to work, but it most certainly will. You might be able to get an older version like Windows 98 or something for pretty cheap. There are also like, stripped down versions of Windows XP you can get. This should allow you to run the older games without having to emulate a whole other computer on your desktop. From there you just get the Windows version of Fallout 1 or 2 and run it with WINE. Check out the test results for Fallout and Fallout 2 in their app database. Ive been playing it on that:) But Im going to try installing this as well so I can use it on my own computer. Do you use the WINE application Im not sure which settings to use on it in order to run the game properly. Also, theres a Fallout patch on the Wine website, and the link doesnt work (Im not sure if I need it or not):( But thats awesome, I had no idea WINE existed. Theres hope for my computer yet:D Metalspork 05:13, April 13, 2010 (UTC). Anything that uses the HL2 engine runs perfectly in Linux (Open source.rocks). Mac also uses open source, so you can install wine into Mac OS X. It might be wise to set the older fallout games to run in a Windows 95 or 98 environment. Pretty much, once you install wine and mount the folders you need to as virtual hard drives, you have the ability to open windows.exe and.bat files ((Not any program, there are a lot of games like Fallout 3 that ran at one point in WINE, but wont run after a certain patch. Bastards.)), etcetera. After configuration, you just double click on the windows file youre trying to run, just like any other program file. Once again, the virtualbox method works 100, especially if you can get your hands on a hard copy of windows 95 or 98 and your computer can handle the extra resource demands (Not much if youre just using it to run FO). You can boot Puppy Linux off of a CD and take the CD out, it runs in your RAM. There should be a package manager you can use to acquire wine or any other linux based program you need.
