General Question, Please Help (MAC)

[sprin001]

I have a macbook pro (I know it sucks). Anyway, I remember playing birthright: gorgons alliance and wanted to know where I could get this game and if it will even be able to play on my macbook, or if it would be worth it to configure it. Thanks in advance, -sprin

There appear to still be copies available on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Advanced-Dungeons-Dragons-Birthright-The-Gorgons-Alliance-PC-1996-Game-RPG-/251247270379). The game should run on Mac in DOSBox (http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1).

DOSBox is used by commercially sold games, so it should work well enough on a Mac.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to do any modding unless you're running it in Windows, as I understand.

Hope that helps!

Alright guys I have dosbox and am able to mount and get to my files. I have ran install already but there are so many .exe files I dont know which one to run to actually play the game?

Sorry to reply so late. I wasn't near my DOSBox installation to answer earlier.

These are the commands that I use to run Birthright in DOSBox Portable. I believe I used the default installation directory during the Birthright install, but the other things may be different for your install.

MOUNT C .\..\..\Data\harddrive >nul
IMGMOUNT F .\..\..\Data\cddrives\birthright.iso -t iso
C:
CD SIERRA\BIRTHRT
BR
EXIT

Those commands mount my two drives, run the game and then exit DOSBox when I'm done. I put this into a custom .conf file for the game and created a shortcut to DOSBox.exe -conf "..\..\Data\utilities\confs\birthrt.conf" -noconsole. That way I have shortcuts for each of my games and don't have to mess with the commands all the time.
