Anyone playing Star Wars Galaxies on XP on MB?

Hi all!
I'm thinking about getting a Macbook. I know it's not a great gaming machine, but I do like to do some casual gaming.
I got an iMac so I've been doing most of the playing on there.
Just wanted to know if anyone's played Star Wars Galaxies on the Macbook under XP?
Obviously I know I won't be able to use all the display options, but wanted to know if it's even playable.
Thanks.

UPdate to my own question.
It plays great!

Anyone played Star Wars: The Old Republic on Macbook pro 13 inch?

Just wondered if anyone had played Star Wars The Old Republic on the 13 inch MBP. Im considering buying the new 13 inch, 2.9ghz i7, but not sure about Intel HD 4000, has anyone had much success with the Intel HD 3000 on previous model. Im guessing bootcamp is the best way to play it.
Thanks

Don't wait on Apple....rev up some developer skills, wrestle permission from the ST concern and DIY.

T43 BSOD Star Wars Galaxies DirectX 9.0 Issue

Having a problem with Star Wars Galaxies and my T43. The game plays for a minute or so, then crashes with a BSOD before restarting. When windows reboots and sends off an error message, I get sent to a webpage telling me that I'm not DirectX 9.0 compatible. The irony is that according the SWGs config screen, I'm running DirectX 9.0.
Any ideas? I bought this laptop as a reconditioned unit last year and have made no hardware mods to it.

Try dx9 install from Microsoft found HERE
This sometimes fixes errors like that.

I want to play Star wars the old republic,

I want to play Star wars the old repubic, Im about to get a new macbook pro with retina display if I upgrade as much as I can afford, about $3000 will I be able to play the game straight out of the box with boot camp and windows 7 or 8, and will the game run with pretty good performance without further upgrade, this is what I would be putting onto the macbook.
2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB Flash Storage
Apple USB SuperDrive
Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide (English)
Im good with macs, but not really good at figuring which would be the best at playing the game!
thanks!

Checking out compatibility with Lion seems fine, but I don't know about Mountain Lion - you may want to contact the developer. I never got into games on a Mac, but your configuration should work without any problems.

Running windows 7 to play Star Wars the old republic

I recently bought Star Wars The Old Republic MMO and wanted to play it on my Mac Book Pro [I do not have the current gen. MBP being sold I have the model previous]
I went out to my local apple store and bought parallels deskdop 7 after reading the reviews on it. [~$80]
I then went out and purchased windows 7 [~$200]
Installed both.....
and im told that my mac does not have enough processing power to play the game? I used to play world of warcraft on it with no problem. Should I buy a different program that runs windows 7 solo so Im not splitting up my processing power? Or will I just not have the ability to play this game on this mac?
Have anyone else come across any similar issues or tried to do the same?
When I attempt to play the game the game window will not stretch to fill the entire screen, it drops down to a smaller window which isnt large enough to effectively play the new game.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks!

Ask your question in the Boot Camp forum. Alternatively, you should contact Parallels. This forum is to discuss the MacBook Pro hardware, not how to set up a game.

Star Wars Battlefront For e-Mac?

I recently played Star Wars Battlefront on a friend's PS2 and it was awesome! I recently became aware that is available for the Mac, but it requires a 64-bit processor. Being an e-Mac user, I believe all I have is a 32-bit. I would love to get this game, but am not going to buy a new computer for it. Has anyone played on an e-Mac? If so, any problems? Do I dare buy it? Thanks

David Dobesh,
If you check Aspyr's SWBF webpage, it gives the system requirements as # Operating System: Mac OS X 10.3.6 or later
# CPU Processor: PowerPC G4/G5 or later
# CPU Speed: 1GHz or faster
# Memory: 256 MB or higher (512 MB recommended)
# Hard Disk Space: 2.7 GB free disk space
# Video Card (ATI): Radeon 8500 or better
# Video Card (NVidia): GeForce4 MX or better
# Video Memory (VRam): 64 MB or higher
# Media Required: DVD DriveThe requiremnts aren't calling for a 64-bit processor but a 64MB video RAM board; all eMac models eMac have 32MB video RAM. You can probablly actually run the game, if you use the games preferences to set it on medium graphics rather than full graphics quality, and are willing to accept some glitches. Try Googling "Star Wars Battlefront eMac 32MB video" and look through some of the game reviews that turns up.

i bet your playing a burnt version?
if not check for updates on your game. Usually those will fix issues related to Graphics cards,
Found this on lucasarts support page http://support.lucasarts.com/tsg/SWBFQuestions/Latest%20Updates/CrashDomesticVersion.htm. Maybe your're about that burnt version . Maybe he have downloaded the Northern american version and plays it on a Windows version that are non english.

Right now any should work, but to future proof it a bit I'd get the middle one with the Real Graphic card in it, & upgrade to the 2.7 CPU.

What controller do I use with my 15" Macbook Pro Retina to play games like the Lego Star Wars series?

I have a bright and shining new 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display. I did not upgrade the processor or the storage. I want to play games on this great computer, too, games that need a controller . . ie . . The Lego Star Wars series and other action games that require a controller like I use on my X Box 360.
What works? What works best?

It would help to post this in a more proper form. This is for the iTunes family of stores.

Lego Star Wars on iBook?

Has anyone played the Lego Star Wars game on the latest iBooks? I am due to buy the 12" 1.33ghz model in the next couple of weeks and my kids really want the Lego Star Wars game. The other 3 Macs we have at home are too slow to support this game, I am looking for anyone who has played it on the latest 12" ibook, 1.33ghz with the ATI 9550 graphics chip. Any comments good or bad are welcome. Was the gameplay smooth? Did it run OK?
Thanks!
Kevin

First, you may need to unhide the purchase > Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

MX 440 - getting error on Lego Star Wars Demo - Vertex & Pixel shader?

Hi people,
First time poster! I have an old-ish card (GeForce MX 440) but it has always worked fine for me until today!
I have downloaded the huge Lego Star Wars Demo after so many positive reviews, but now get the error message: "Sorry but your machine is unable to run this game. We require a graphics card which supports vertex and pixel shader 1.1"
Well, I thought my card did... err.. does... What am I doing wrong!!! Please help me someone! HELP! Okay Oscar stuff over. But does anyone know how I can overcome this (short of buying a modern warp driven graphics card)?
Thanks in advance,
RedDavePirate

FAQ
When I try to run the game I get an error message saying "Fatal Error: Your Graphics card does not support Pixel Shader v1.1"
The most likely cause is your video card does not support Pixel Shader 1.1. As it states on the game box, you must have a video card that supports Pixel Shader 1.1 for LEGO: Star Wars to run. Unless you are running an Nvidia GeForce 3 ti, 4 ti, or FX, 6000 or an ATI Radeon 8500, or Radeon 9000 series, or X series card, this game will not run. None of the Nvidia GeForce MX, or GeForce 2/GTS/GO video cards are supported, as they lack the Pixel Shader chip on the card itself. Any ATI Radeon card not listed on the game package will not run LEGO: Star Wars. On-board Intel (82810, 82845, 82845G, 82865G) video chips are not supported, as they lack nearly all the required hardware needed to run LEGO: Star Wars.
***Please note Nvidia TNT cards and ATI Rage cards are also NOT supported***
Please Note: Customers with systems running the Intel 82915G video chip will not be able to play Lego: Star Wars. Although the 915G chipset does support Pixel Shader v2.0, it does not support Hardware Transform and Lighting (T&L). Hardware TnL is a basic DirectX 9.0 function which is not supported by any Intel video chip. As Lego: Star Wars does use Hardware T&L along with Pixel Shader, this game will not run on any Intel Graphics chip.

Leopard doesn't work with Lego Star Wars II and ATI graphics?

My son has an iBook G4, and has been running Lego Star Wars II just fine under the latest release of OS 10.4. He just installed Leopard, and now the Lego Star Wars game says that his graphics board isn't enough to run the game. Is there a patch for this? He has a PPC G4 1.42 GHz with 512 MB RAM, ATI Mobility 9550 graphics board with 32 MB RAM. We installed 10.5.1 patch to the OS.
Any help?

Here are the minimum system requirements for Lego Star Wars II:
System Requirements
Mac OS X v10.4 or later
1.6GHz PowerPC or Intel processor
512MB RAM
64MB VRAM
3GB free hard-disk space
Mouse and keyboard
DVD drive
As you can see, your son's computer doesn't meet these requirements.
I'm sure he'll be happy when you tell him you have to buy him a new computer to play the game!

"Star Wars" style scrolling title?

I am a new iMovie user (one week) and am getting frustrated already with the limited titles that seem to be provided. I am looking for two kinds of titles:
1) A "Star Wars" style scrolling title to present a paragraph of text that bridges a narrative gap in my movie. I thought I could use the "credits" one, only to find out that iMovie automatically splits the text into two halves as though it were crediting people for roles in a movie. Argh! What I'm looking for is not exactly "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" where it disappears to a vanishing point at the top, but just something where a block of text can scroll smoothly up from the bottom and disappear up the top of the screen (if that makes sense).
2) Also looking for a way to make "subtitles" that appear lower on the screen than the one provided with iMovie.
Thanks!

...but just something where a block of text can
scroll smoothly up from the bottom and disappear up
the top of the screen (if that makes sense).
Have you tried "Scrolling Block"?
2) Also looking for a way to make "subtitles" that
appear lower on the screen than the one provided with
iMovie.
Note that iMovie lets you adjust the vertical position of certain titles. As the title plays in the little preview window, move the mouse over the window. If the cursor changes to a cross the title is movable. Click on it to drag up or down.
"Centered Title" is one.
Other titling options are built into your Mac. They include all the text options in TextEdit, which lets you make lots of cool text. You convert the text into an image and import it.
You can also use the Ken Burns Effect in iMovie to zoom/pan across images of text. You can create a block of text of any style or combinations of style, capture it as an image, and import the image using the Ken Burns effect to animate it however you like.
It's possible too, of course, to purchase third-party title plug-ins for iMovie.

Star Wars Battlefront

New trailer right here
Star Wars Battlefront will launch Friday 20th November 2015
Details
The game will run in 60fps, resolution hasnt been confirmed yet.
There wont be a campaign mode, but you can play smaller objective based missions single player or split screen/online coop
The biggest battle size currently is 40 player (20 vs 20)
Star Wars Heroes are returning with Darth Vader and Boba Fett (bounty hunter) being confirmed so far.
The game will have split screen which is brilliant

The Battle of Jakku will be free to everyone that buys the game, but if you preorder you get it 1 week early.
There are currently more than 8 maps and more than 2 maps on each planet. There are 4 planets Hoth, Tattooine, Endor, and Sullust , so id say 12 maps?
You can take to the skies and engage in sky battles with Tie Fighters and X Wings, but not space battles.
The game is focused on the original trilogy so (new hope, empire strikes back, return of the jedi) that did remind me, hope they have the droids from the prequels i was a beast with droideka.
The weapons seem to have a cooling system in place instead of ammunation, so shoot for a while then let your weapon cool til you can shoot again!
The HUD is minimal showing your weapon/grenades/perk/heavy weapon
They didnt show the different Stormtrooper/rebel classes in the real gameplay demo
You can steal fallen players weapons
Killstreaks earn you powerful weapon upgrades
Yes, there will be plenty of things to unlock, achieve and collect. More on this will be revealed at a later date!
You can play as a female stormtrooper, guess they will have a slimmer model with bewbs
Game Modes
Walker Assault - A 40 player match where the objective is for the rebels to take out a on rails AT-AT, i assume the stormtroopers have to defend it until it reaches its destination.
You can preorder the game here - Standard Edition although you dont actually have to preorder, the game wont go out of stock you know also a deluxe version - Deluxe Edition
Here is the fantastic boxart -

Apparantly it will be released a short time before the new film with some teasers related to it in the campaign.Yeah youre probably right, just hope it works, its been like 10 years i think since battlefront 2!

NYKO Air Flow EX and Lego Star Wars

I read the README file that comes on the CD for Lego Star Wars to find out about game controllers. The Apple store had a NYKO Air Flo EX, so I bought it. This controller is specifically listed in the doc and says that no third party support software is required (supposedly works right from the OS drivers).
"The controllers listed above function using the built-in Mac OS X drivers. They do not require any device specific or 3rd party services."
When I start Lego Star Wars, it still only recognizes my keyboard contros. The NYKO controls do nothing. I know the controller is getting power (the fan works) and the NYKO key mapper sees the controller.
Do I have to map keys for this game? I wouldn't think so, from the README. If I do have to map keys, I feel like I've wasted my money on a game controller.
iMac G5 20 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Ok, I answered my own question. The Readme file gives you directions for how to uninstall the application. I wondered if there wasn't a setting in a file somewhere that said I had no controller.
I tried just removing the .plist file from ~/Library/Preferences, but that did not help. The Readme then referenced removing a directory in ~/Library/Application Support. This in error; the directory is actually in your documents directory.
I removed that directory and the application and reinstalled (I think just removing the directory would have been enough). Now the game sees my controller and plays more fun.
