Fallout 2 Mac Os X Free

Nexuiz for Mac OS v.2.5.2 A fast paced 3d deathmatch game project created online by a team of developers called Alientrap. It is available for download for Windows, Mac.
Fallout 2 only shows up as a windows game, but other people seem to be able to use it on mac. Are they partitioning their computers? If so I don't see how that is running fallout 2 on OS X. How do I run Fallout 2 on mac without partitioning?

Fallout 1 was originally designed to run at 640x480 resolution. I wanted to run the Mac OS X version of Fallout on my MacBook 11', which has a 1366x768 display. There is a high resolution patch, but it only supports the Windows version of Fallout.

The Vault (Wiki based encyclopedia about all things Fallout. ) Wasteland Merc MOD homepage (A MOD replacing the original Fallout 2 campaign with a mercenary-themed scenario.). Fallout 2 is a role-playing open-world video game. The player is free to move at will until they enter into combat. Combat gives them a number of action points to move, fire, check their equipment, reload and the like. When a player uses up all of their action points, they end their turn and enemies start theirs. 80MHz or faster Power Macintosh (G3-233MHz for OS X); 2X or faster CD-ROM drive; 640x480 capable color monitor; 95MB free hard disk space (600MB for OS X); 16 MB free memory (with Virtual Memory turned off) (128MB of RAM for OS X); Mac OS 7.5 or greater (Mac OS X 10.1.4 for OS X); Display Library (version 1.0 or greater) required for System 7.5.

Turns out that the OS X version of Fallout runs through Wine, so we can get this patch working with just a few configuration changes:

Note for Fallout 2 users: The process for Fallout 2 is essentially the same, with a different patch, and some minor pathing differences. Other than that, the process is exactly the same!

Install Wine

Install Homebrew, a package manager for OS X
Open a terminal and install Wine with brew install wine

Note: Installing Wine will take some time. You may move on to 'Configure Fallout's Wine Launcher' while Wine is installing, but wait until the Wine installation is complete before attempting 'Configure and Patch'.

Configure Fallout's Wine

Right click on /Applications/Fallout/, and choose 'Show Package Contents' to browse Fallout's files
Run the Wineskin utility, and click 'Screen Options'
Change the 'Resolution' option to 'Current Resolution' (Or the resolution you plan on running Fallout at. You may need to revisit this step when selecting the patch's resolution.)
Click 'Done' to go back to the main Wineskin menu
Click on 'Advanced', and then the 'Winetricks' button under 'Utilities'
Under the 'dlls' list, put a check next to 'd3dx9', and click the 'Run' button, then 'Run' again to confirm

Install the High Res Patch

Download and extract the Fallout 1 High Resolution Patch
Extract 'Fallout1_High_Resolution_Patch_v4.1.8.exe'
Copy all files except the 'data' directory to Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout (Note:, this path is for the GOG version of Fallout. This path may differ slightly depending on the version of Fallout you have.)
Merge the 'data' directory into Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout/data/ (Do not overwrite the data directoy. We need to keep the original files around.)
(Optional) Create a backup copy of Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout/falloutw.exe

Configure and Patch

Note: Make sure Wine is installed before performing these steps.

Open a terminal and navigate to Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout/
Run wine f1_res_Config.exe
Make sure 'Windowed' is unchecked
Select the resolution matching Fallout's Wine configuration (see 'Configure Fallout's Wine', step 3)
Click the 'Enable' button to enable the Hi-Res patch
Click 'Done'

Run Fallout

That's it! You should now be able to run Fallout in a higher resolution. You may need to tweak the patch configuration and Fallout's Wine to get it working.

Troubleshooting

Fallout 2 Mac Os X

'Error initializing video mode'

If you get a Windows-style error message that says 'Error initializing video mode', it means that Fallout's Wine and the patch are not configured to the same resolution. They must match to work.

Inverted/Distorted Colors

If the game runs but the colors are inverted/distorted, it means the 'd3dx9' DLL is not installed in Fallout's Wine. See 'Configure Fallout's Wine', step 6.

Fallout 2 Mac Os X Freeware Games

In the 21st century, a worldwide conflict is brought on by global petroleum shortage. Several nations enter Resource Wars over the last of non-renewable commodities, namely oil and uranium from 2052 to 2077. China invades Alaska in the winter of 2066, causing the United States to go to war with China and using Canadian resources to supply their war efforts, despite Canadian complaints. Eventually the United States violently annexes Canada in February 2076 and reclaims Alaska nearly a year later. After years of conflict, on October 23, 2077, a global nuclear war occurs. It is not known who strikes first, but in less than two hours most major cities are destroyed. The effects of the war do not fade for the next hundred years and as a consequence, human society has collapsed leaving only survivor settlements barely able to eke out a living in the barren wasteland, while a few live through the occurrence in underground fallout shelters known as Vaults. One of these, Vault 13, is the protagonist's home in Southern California, where the game begins in 2161, 84 years after the war...

In Vault 13, the Water Chip, a computer chip responsible for the water recycling and pumping machinery of the vault, malfunctions. With 150 days before the Vault's water reserves run dry, the Vault Overseer tasks the protagonist, the Vault Dweller, with finding a replacement. He or she is given a portable tablet-like device called the 'Pip-Boy 2000' that keeps track of map-making, objectives, and bookkeeping. Armed with the Pip-Boy 2000 and meager equipment, the main character is sent off on the quest.
