Hey, how to install? I downloaded and burned this disk images, but my mac cant read disc. Thank all! Mac OS X Tiger.
@doxete1337 I have the same problem
crashes on retrieving character list for me. the crash report says:
Assertion Failed!
on file: MachOLoader.cpp, line 79
@NeruMarcus Would it be possible for you to upload the contents of that MEGA link to this page, for preservation?
Here is how you can run the game without CD.
Starcraft and Brood war in os x will play without CD inserted in the computer. The both CD has archives. Just copy the archives from both CD. You had to put Brood war & Starcraft archive in Starcraft Files folder. The game will play without CD in os x only but mac os 9 the game will ask for CD.
Brood War Archive is 545.4 MB of hard drive.
Starcraft archive is 578.8 MB of hard drive.
I found this on Blizzard website.
I have burn to both CD of StarCraft Battlechest to install the game and play the on mac os 9. But installed the both games and put in both archive from both CD. Then the game will run in mac os x 10.4.11 and mac os x 10.5.8.
Thx for release, but game was broken after login screen (on private server).
- Installed without problems with the help of mounting in Toast 10.
- Starts up and runs on iMac 5G
Patches 1.x to 1.12.1 - https://mega.nz/#F!3uxQBYTa!p-mLG3FdLN76aJ9Trif0RQ
I have only been able to locate vanilla client patches, you can find them in the mega.nz link i posted on the vanilla wow disk set, it is enGB locale so you need to download the enGB patches for 1.12.0 and 1.12.0-1.12.1, i have located only 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 patch for the TBC expansion for osx. WoTLK ended PPC support entirely.
please take note this is the enGB WoW installer disk set... I downloaded the enUS patches and cannot patch so now i have to download the enGB patches
IIRC they kept PPC support, I think requiring Leopard, for quite many years. Does anyone know if the latest Leopard/PPC-compatible patch is also available somewhere?
i also had to burn the CD's.
https://mega.nz/#F!XRdDyaAL!jY7UReJCIAPSbinG-hpb4A 1.12.0 patch and 1.12.1 patch
A page with Mac patches is coming.
I haven't tried installing on anything later than Tiger, but mounting all the CD's at the same time worked fine when installing, at least for me.
Maybe a link for patch 1.12.1 would be useful for those, who wish to play on a "private" vanilla server.
Blizz installers request the CDs sequentially in the same drive, which not works by mounting .toast images.
I had the same problem with StarCraft Battlechest under OSX 10.5.8, the installer stopped after CD1 and didn't recognise CD2, despite I dismounted the first and mounted the second image. I only successed to install the game from real burned CDs. I wonder, if there is a way for swapping .toast images in a single virtual Mac CD/DVD drive.
ok , thanks, maybe my problem it's because i have installed 10.5 on my iBook. Someday i will downgrade it an try that game.
I’ll have a look at it sometime tomorrow after work
Edit: I downloaded, unpacked and mounted all the discs under Tiger (10.4.11) and it did install fine. The box says it requires at least 10.3.9, as for the last working OS in regards to these discs, I'm unsure as I have nothing higher than Tiger installed.
After it ask to insert disc 2 the installation fail, it doesn't recognize it. Anyone knows why?
This is the old CD installer, useful for those that play on emulated servers... system requirements will follow.
World of Warcraft now requires 2GB of VRAM minimum and High Sierra.
