So, lets get started! You will need the following to run starcraft/broodwar on your mac.Ī machine with a CD-ROM. I can merge it and clean this guide up then. If anyone wants to give us a walkthrough on using the download instead, please post it. It is possible to use the downloaded version of Starcraft Anthology from Blizzard's website, but I haven't purchased this since I already have the games on CD. I recommend the new method as it will receive active development from the community and should be most likely to work with new versions of OSX. Please read the full instructions before starting so that you can decide which method is for you. While the game will still work, you will not be able to fullscreen it again until you relaunch it.Īdding a new method to this guide resulted in some fragmentation, but I wanted to keep the old method in here just in case some machines dislike the new one. If you attempt to switch tasks (cmd+tab), the game will shrink to its native resolution on your mac's normal resolution. The new method gets rid of the OSX cursor after you click. If you use the old method, it will stay that way. The OSX cursor sits on top of Starcraft's custom cursor. The old method creates a stupid shortcut on your mac desktop called "My Mac Desktop." I have no idea why the Crossover engine does this as I cannot imagine it being terribly useful. (Note: This glitch does not seem to plague all configurations. There is a glitch with audio where the first second will be repeated at the end when I character speaks (excluding units). (TLDR: Dont be an ass and post links to torrents here.)ī will not work in this wrapper. I want the thread to stay open and help you guys, but if we keep getting flooded with just download a copy here links, it will get closed down. Do not post links for torrents either, as linking to pirated software is a no-no here. Its been one month and Im almost done with the original campaigns with no significant problems. After a great deal of trial and error, Ive done it.
Remembering how well things went with my ePSXe howto (and how much fun that puzzle was to figure out) I decided to get Starcraft running on OSX Mountain Lion. I couldnt get the porting team stuff to work properly, and virtualizing an entire OS for one old game is ridiculously ineffecient. For those of you who have tried to play this on a modern mac, you probably understand that OSX no longer runs PPC code, and boot camp wont help us because Starcraft/Broodwar do not run properly under Windows 7. I had an itch about a month ago to play the original Starcraft, but I didnt feel like setting up the G4 all over again.
