Warcraft 3 PC/MAC but don't work?

Mr Jones · 14 Sep 2006 at 21:14

I'm not too sure if I should ask here or General or even Mac but here goes:

I got Warcraft 3 + Frozen throne CDs from my brother - both originals and are Hybrid PC/MAC CDs. They instally without a hitch on XP but for some reason, Wearcraft 3 Reign of chaos isn't recognised by my MacBook but Frozen throne auto ran no problem.

Would apreciate any help. Thanks.

Is this a new MacBook with an intel chip? As its possible that might be the source of your problem. Emulation might work for ordinary software but for games I'm not so sure. Not a Mac head so I could very well be wrong.

If it's a macintel you need the universal binaries patches from the Apple downloads page.

It is a macintel and there's a universal binary patch for warcraft 3?

I checked out google and apple, not much find.

any help?

Thanks - will grab it soon and report back.
I had to settle with running WC3 on XP (via Bootcamp) - which works and rather well on the MacBook.
