I got stubborn with trying to install Diablo today. It says specifically that it is Mac compatible on the package but gets messier as you go along. I've been wild goose chasing all over the internet tonight. I am glad that my internet isn't down, I thought it was earlier.
So much for using the basic system requirements or above... I open the installer, and my computer tries to use a lite program called Classic. Classic is supposed to be used for OS version conflicts so you can still run the old programs they threw out. It all looks like they threw even the baby out with the bathwater after OS 9.
It's not set up properly, you have to have OS 9 handy to use Classic right. It notifies me when I click on the installer that there is no OS 9 system folder and asks for OS 9 to be installed. I went online to try and configure Classic and get an OS 9 reference for it. Couldn't find anything at apples website for the download. My $70 Apple support doesn't cover version conflicts. The forums say it's not even an extension, I have to download an installation copy of OS 9. Even better the link that it gives me to download is now expired. How consistent of you Apple, no really thank you.
I could get over it but then the mac read me says: " Diablo has a minimum requirement of System 7.5.5 or greater. Due to improvements in Apple’s System software, Diablo will perform best with System 7.6 and better. "
will perform best with System 7.6 and better..?!?!?!?!! Ahem? OSX 10.4.2 isn't going to be better?
Grrr...
I'm glad I looked at the Diablo mac support link again. I completely missed that it asked for users using Mac OSX need to email them specifically.
I'm going to get to the bottom of this, because if you say you're mac compatible, you'd better be mac compatible. What is frustrating is that Diablo II works and has a separate install for OSX. So Diablo II can work but not Diablo I? One comes before two! *sniffle sniffle*
