Does Mac Halo work on Fiesty Fawn?

[mitchellthegreat]

Hello. I am replacing my Mac with a Dell E520 N with all the standard stuff and It has Fiesty Fawn on it, instead of windows. The three concerns I have are:


Does it run Mac Halo and Windows Halo 2?
Can I mod them the same way I did on mac?
Does it run .exe and .app? (Beside the point, I know, but if you have an answer, spill it!:p)Thank you,
Mitchell The Great

As far as I know, there is no way to get your Mac applications working under Linux. For Windows applications, there is Wine (www.winehq.org), but it is nowhere near perfect. Because Halo 2 for PC requires Windows Vista, I would say that there's a snowball's chance in hell that Wine has caught up.

If you were running Linux on your Mac, I would reccommend Mac-On-Linux (http://mac-on-linux.sourceforge.net/), but I think you're trying to say that you are no longer using the Mac and have moved to a Dell PC.

For further questions on trying to run Windows software, I'd head over to the regular Ubuntu discussion forums. You're bound to attract a lot more attention there.

Linux has no way of running mac apps (it's not mac after all)

Wine exists to run windows app but it's not perfect. to check if windows version oh halo runs in wine, go to its website in the app database.

btw wine doesnt run on ppc - but youre talking about dell computer thats probably not a ppc? i think youre not in the right forum

PearPC will allow you to install mac os x into an emulator and run ppc mac os x apps on an x86 machine running linux or windows.

However I imagine playing Halo 2 or any 3d intensive game on it will be an exercise in torture, with very low frame rates. Unless they have made some advances in opengl im unaware of.

Nothing to do with OpenGL here, it's slow because of emulation.

Emulation is not recommendable for playing anything recent anyway.

But anyway he's probably in the wrong forum, he doesnt seem to use a PPC machine.
