Should I dl eternal land ? running macintosh with intel cpu

[lorddeath202]

The mac can run windows program.

 

Will EL work ?

nah, download the mac port, its great iirc, the url is www.0ctane.net, its a 27 meg download which expands to about ~85megs from what I remember.

Actually, if you can use the Windows version that'd be better for now. The Mac version is still a little buggy (I'm not able to play because it freezes my computer too often) and doesn't have the built in music like the Windows has.

 

Or you can try both and see which one you like best/ runs better.

Well, I take exception to these comments. I have worked quite hard to get EL just to run on Macs, and I think the current version works nearly as well as Windoz and Linux clients, IMHO. Most of the problems are only with PowerPC hardware.

 

lorddeath202, I have a intel/universal binary version of EL available. Go here to download it (as Atlantis suggested). I am running it on my MacBook Pro without many issues. Yes, I have had the game freeze a few times. Yes, it is not as polished as the Windoz and Linux clients. Then again, the OS X development of EL has only really been around for about 1 year. Besides, that BootCamp program for running windows on a mac is a little buggy too.

Sorry 0ctane, I didn't mean to step on your foot with this one. Since I don't own an Intel Mac I couldn't say whether the Mac port would have my problems (which I don't think it would) or not. I would, overall, recommend 0ctane's Mac port because it's native to our OS and rather than running a program to run EL (bootcamp). Make sure to donate some funds to 0ctane also. I've been in communication with him and he really has some great plans for our port.

 

Good luck.

If you are not able run EL on your Intel Mac, you can install any Linux distro for free and enjoy EL.
