I then uninstalled everything, cleaned the registry, restarted my computer, and resintalled d2 via battle.net when i tried to login again, i'm getting the 'battle.net cannot properly identify your application version' crap i can't get past this at all halp plz.
I have a Mac because i want a Mac.If you want to use hobby ported games, I suggest checking out a couple of places.portingteam.com and paulthetall.comYou can get a lot of wrappers already made for games there, so all you have to do is download the wrapper, follow its directions to how you install the Windows version of the game in it, and then its a Mac app ready to go.At a quick glance, looks like theres already a Wineskin wrapper in The Porting Team ports database.Of course you can always grab Wineskin and try to do it yourself. If your into that sort of thing, but it can be much easier to get a wrapper someone else has already made and figured out how to get it to work, so you can just play and not worry about trying to get it working. Click to expand.This is possibly true. If you use bootcamp a lot that's probably the better method. But.If you spend 95% of your life in OS X and/or want to use OS X apps at the same time or have them run in the background, then rebooting into Windows just to play one game does not make much sense when you can set up the game so 2-3 clicks each time gets you into the game.Each to their own. Some people are bootcamp fans. Others will welcome the opportunity to play the game via OS X, be it through a virtual OS.Also I find it rather fun to get windows software/games to run on OS X (usually through some sort of virtualisation).
Sure others have done it before me. But I enjoy the challenge of working it out for myself. I will boot into Windows when I have to. But I really try not to whenever possible.Diablo 2 ported to iOS would be cool.1 finger click or drag for movement.2 finger tap for left skill3 finger tap for right skillAnd maybe 4 finger tap or a weird swipe for potion use or something.It'd be very doable. And you could have the onscreen keyboard pop up for the chat box. I got diablo II to work using wineskin.
Skyrim se dark brotherhood armor mod. Installing from cd did not work, however. What I did instead was installing it into windows xp (in virtual box), updating it to 1.13d there, and copying the files over to the wineskin disk c.
I also got Plugy to work by installing the D2SE mod manager and setting D2SE.exe as executable in wineskin.Everything is working now, but there are a few quirks:1. To go into bnet you have to change the executable to the original diablo.exe because d2se can't start 1.13d yet, whereas Plugy needs the 1.13c patch.2. Fullscreen mode is scrambled with the latest wine 1.50.
I got it to work with the winetricks commands ddr=gdi and grabfullscreen=n, though. Alternatively, an older wine engine also works.3. Only DDraw (Software) graphics mode works for me, also the videos don't play.4. The alt-key which shows you the items on the ground is mapped to the command key, and you can't drink a potion with keys 1-4 while pressing the command key. In the options for wineskin there is 'Option key works as Alt' which lets you use both keys, and drinking potions works again, though clicking on the ground now makes the item captions go away which is slightly annoying.5. What is great is (besides being able to use Plugy and do the uber quest) is that it runs faster than on my old ppc mac. There it would take up to 30 seconds to use a town portal from for example the countess cellar to the rogues' camp.
Click to expand.Thanks for the info. I have tried wineskin but found it a little tricky to get right. I'll need someone to walk me through it I think.
Anyways thanks for letting me know it works.And I play LoD this way:LoD V1.12Multi-res Mod (needs LoD V1.12)MedianXL (version Omega 003. The later 2012 version is just a failed experiment, stick with omega003)PlugyAnd here's a nice video explanation video on how to install 3 mods. Sure it's for windows but worked just fine in my crossover bottle. Tested on:iMac 2011 21.5 i7OS 10.7.0 and OS 9.0.0 (emulated through sheepshaver)Things you will need1. Diablo 2 and LOD Discs (you only need the LOD discs if you want to play LOD)2.
Mac OS 9.0.0 (any OS 8.1 to 9.0.4 should work. But I tested it on 9.0.0)Follow these instructions1. Download the latest sheepshaver here:2. Download the Mac OS Rom here3.
Follow all the instructions to set up Sheepshaver hereBut some things to note:Set the sheepshaver (OS9) ram to 512MB. That will help a lot.Make a shared foder. And just throw it in the Sheepshaver folder. This folder is your link between OS X and OS9. OS9 side it looks like a HDD called Unix.When you make your main HDD (Disc image) for OS 9.
Make it 3000 MB (roughly 3GB is size.Do not use the OS 9 set up assistant. I just crashes. So quit it right away.Set the OS 9 screen size to 800x600.
That's the LOD resolution and it works well that way,4. From now on everything downloaded for OS 9 will be done OS X side and put in the shared folder. And only fiddle with the shared folder while OS 9 is not running. And don't run anything is OS 9 from the shared folder.
Always copy it to the OS 9 HDD first.5. Download Open GL 1.2.1 here:And install it OS 9 side.6. Download Carbon Lib 1.6 here:And install it OS 9 side7. Install Diablo 2 and LOD in OS 9 from the CDs.Things you need to know:Always put the CD in before you start OS 9. Make sure the CD is read OS X side then run OS 9.Yes after Diablo 2 installs you have to quit Sheepshaver (OS 9) and eject Diablo 2 and insert the LOD disc and then restart OS 9. Then install LOD.8.
Once LOD is installed there is a couple game files not installed on the Disc. Copy those over to your LOD folder.9. Get Info - the LOD app in OS 9 and set the memory to 102400K (100MB) for the minimum and preferred size.10. Run LOD (or Diablo 2) in OS 9. And connect to battle.net in game. It will auto patch you to the latest patch. This is good cause I tried the stand alone patches and they didn't work for me.
This also applies the no CD patch.That's it. Now anytime you want to play Diablo 2 or LOD all you need to do is run Sheepshaver and click on the D2 or LOD app to play it.Notes:The game will run fullscreen within OS 9.
But leave OS 9 as a window. Full screen OS 9 crashes and doesn't work according tot he sheepshaver developers.The game only runs under software graphics. I'm not sure how to get it to access OpenGL under OS9. If anyone knows how to I'd be really grateful.If you want to play an awesome LOD mod go here:It's very good. I use it a lot of the time.Just remember to only play Vanilla LOD on Battle.Net. Leave the Mod for offline play.
Play with a funky LOD and Blizzard won't be happy.Save your Vanilla patch and app files so you can swap back anytime you want play Vanilla or Battle.Net. Just remember Mod characters and Vanilla characters don't mix at all.I recommend you try this mod. It's really good.Last note. I tried the same thing for Starcraft 1 and OS X didn't read the SC1 disc properly. And the SC1 disc crashed sheepshaver. The BroodWar disc worked fine.

But it wanted SC1 installed first. So yeah I'll have to find a work around for this.
Virtual Box Works pretty goodI got Windows 7 vm on VB on Mac Mini.The VM has 2GB of RAM. Note that when increase ram on VM, the VM will use 2GB of ram from the MAC. So if you only got 4GB installed. You would need to install mor memory Windows 7 needs at least 2GB to run decently.Next install VB additions. Just look in the VM options. This will drasically increase VM speed to almost native. The draw back is that 3D support is still in beta.
It's not that big of a deal when VB is 100% free.Install Diablo 2 with full game install, copy over the remaning MPQ files over (google play D2 with out CD).Download the latest and last patch for D2 manually from blizzards site. Install it.Play Diablo 2. Note: The title screen will be funky colors. This is because Windows 7 requires a resolution of 800x600. The title screen is 640x480. Thus when you first start the game the funky collors will be in the game too.
But you can easily fix it by increasing it to 800x600. Note: you need LOD expansion to enable 800x600 resolution.After that it runs fairly good. It's using a software rendering engine based off of direct draw so the game will look a little dull with the missing directx effects. The perspective mode is not availible.Other than that.
And no need to reboot.Ofcourse you could just get Diablo 3 and be done with it. Click to expand.Diablo II, Starcraft I and Warcraft III are dead to us.

Apple killed the games when they axed Rosetta in Lion over a year ago, and Blizzard clearly and decisively shrugged their shoulders. The only thing Blizzard did was to update the executable for Warcraft III to an intel app, but get this: the installer wasn't updated, so downloading from Battle.net is moot since you won't be able to run the installer without Rosetta. Three of the most popular games of all time and Apple/Blizzard sit there and yawn.
Yet on the Windows side, you can run those games just fine using any one of the last 7 generations of the OS, including the current one.
