About every 6 months I do some Googling to see if I can get Homeworld to run on my Mac. I still have fond memories of playing it in my freshman dorm room 12 years ago.
This technique reminds of silhouette preservation techniques in computer graphics that I had done for my senior project. Anyone know if it's related?
- aerique 14y agoI don't what kind of Mac you've got but I have been running Earth & Beyond (an MMO from 10 years ago) at high framerates in Virtualbox on my 2011 iMac. I did have to enable experimental D3D support.

- the_french 14y agoThere are many wineskin / cider wrappers that exist for HW2. The only problem is that multiplayer won't work.
- bni 14y agoAlso, sadly, wine does not have "pbuffer" support, that is used by HW2 to render shadows. So it makes the game look a bit bland when comparing it to how it used to look back in the day. I also think running the game in Parallells or VMware has the same problem. Im not even sure that current gfx cards and drivers support this under Windows 7 anymore. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25495 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25495
