HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[goalie]

workin on my

2011 Macbook Pro i7 2.66 Ghz with Nvidia GeForce GT 300M w/ 4 Gigs ram

even with the gama fix and in game gama, and screen brightness all cranked, its still a bit dark.

Might continue booting to win7 bootcamp to play on this laptop.

The information in this guide works extremely well, and I can recommend it wholeheartedly.

I have no experience with crossover games.

Verify that your resource directory has all necessary files.

Hello all!

Just to add my experience with this too. Just found that thread about it, but I'm using that easy way to play EQ on all my Mac.

Already used Virtual PC (with Vmware Fusion) to play Everquest, was pretty easy and worked perfectly since last Fusion update so switched to this.

Now using Wine and everything is perfect to me.

You can add my configuration to your list:

-iMac, early 2009
-3,06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
-OS X Lion 10.7.3
-NVDIA GeForce GT 130

and

-MacBook Pro, mid 2009
-2,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
-OS X Lion 10.7.3
-NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT

Just have a question for user of this method: anyone knows how to enable the auction tracker from Tristantio (ahungry.com/eqauctions) with Wine? Would like to continue to contribute to that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I tried to do it, and screenshots are coming out way darker in both cases than they actually are on my screen, not sure why..
