CrossOver Mac + Unreal Anthology + 24" iMac =
UT99 works great using a Win98 bottle, network performance seems alright, and it's acceptably fast at full rez
If this UT99 night does get going, I highly recommend anybody looking to run it on their (Intel) Mac download the free CrossOver trial... it's so much quicker/cheaper/easier than Bootcamp.

It was (is) and nobody used it.

Wait, so UT99 is installed on MA3 right now?

What's the IP?

I'd hope so for a DX7.0a game that shipped 8 1/2 years ago. Even a 2600 Pro should have no problems filling a 24" panel with that.

Otherwise yeah, sounds like a plan. Free is good.

I'd totally be down for a UT'99 match sometime. Hopefully I still have a copy of it somewhere around here... Can't do anything with UT3 though, neither of my computers can handle it enough to justify the purchase, and it's not out for 360 yet. Really wish I could play it, the demo was pretty fun, even at 15FPS.

Sort of answering a question of Bat's from another thread, but yes, I finally did get some better internet up here in alaska (moved up to the mainland, no longer on an island), so my ping should be down in acceptable ranges.

I think everything's on hold for now. Levi had some electrical issues in his basement where all the compy stuff is, so a full rewire job's in progress.

Almost there...alllllmost there...

I've worked on that every day this last week. Wiring is done but the Lair is a wreak...saw & drywall dust, wire clippings and crap all over. Plus to really finish the job we're also putting up a new ceiling. Those materials are due to be delivered today. Gimme a couple more weeks.

Keep checking here. We'll do some old skool in a couple weeks.

It wasn't there at first but then we tried an old skool weekend that fell flat but it's been there ever since. MA3 is offline atm. soon very soon.

To bad I don't have static ip but I don't think it changes much.

...and hopefully you still have a copy. Otherwise we'll have to settle for that other game on which we played our 700 ping matches, and see who still 'has it.' I haven't played that one for over two years.

(...you can has 360? Why no gamertag info? There's a thread in [MA] General).

Yep, picked one up as a christmas present for myself last year.

And i checked, I still have the game for mac (thought I had it for PC too, but I think that was UT2004).

Put your shirt back on!

So what should I just come from but recording a Grunty Sampler film for Jeap... and you know what that means.

"Stick together, nipple-mates!"

"Hold together, teat-team!"

"We suck as one, we fight as one!"

...as well as other themes. Some [MA]ers sure seem to have some Grunty blood in them, tho.

Now just digress for a moment and think how fast even '04 would run at full res if you could has 8800GS with it.

Why, even UT3 would run. NoX might even be forced to don a shirt...

Yeah, that made me sad; my computer is no longer the new shiny
Although, from what I've heard, the 8800GS isn't all that great.
Guess we'll have to wait for BareFeats to get ahold of one.
I don't use my Mac for new games, anyway

Yeah, poor guy- stuck with no mouse aim and limited res, biliear filtering etc. with your FPSs. We weep for you, brother. Solidarity! Eventually, you too shall be released.

Uhm... I'm almost afraid to post this here, especially since I was never in one of the Squads.

So yeah, I think I'll just say "Bat, Levi, keep your eyes peeled for a PM or an email."

Yeah, I think that should do it. 

Post away!

When MA started there wasn't squads. They came along after we grew so big that there needed to be smaller bite size pieces. Isn't about squads or MA even. Just fond memories in the last seven years with MA, RA, OSX, Robot and all the others we (I) played with.
