I was only interested in promoting a free solution to running Tron 2.0 on Leopard. I've also known about alternative solutions like VMWare Fusion, Parallels, Crossover Games, and of course Boot Camp. Since CXZ is a bit difficult to obtain and use, while Wineskin is readily available. But I'd say Wineskin is the better solution, actually. He's using Wineskin, instead of CXZ which I wrote about. This means Mac players will have no trouble playing against PC opponents online in Multiplayer, because they won't be missing out on the maps and mods. I suspected that the mods and maps would work using a wrapper (emulator), because we're using the PC version of the game here rather than the Mac version.

Here's a bit of an update to this article:Ī fellow by the name of Kroc Camen put together a step-by-step guide on how to get the PC version of Tron 2.0 running on an Intel Mac using Leopard. If anyone manages to get TRON 2.0 running on Leopard - specifically if they're able to get any of the maps and mods working - please let me know so I can share it with the rest of the community. However, there's a section on the Porting Team forum where you can get some instructions and help if you join their site. Unfortunately, I don't own a Mac so I can't try this out for myself and I can't give advice to anyone on how to get TRON 2.0 working with CXZ. It might actually be possible to use the Killer App Mod, User Error, and the Complete Map Pack.

My understanding is that TRON 2.0 also works well on CXZ.īeing able to run the Windows PC version of the game, opens all sorts of possibilities in terms of mod content for the Mac. The video author states that the problems with the sound were the result of recording it to make the video, and that it actually works perfectly on CiderX. I just wanted to show an example of the game actually running on Leopard. I won't discuss CiderX any further, its legality is dubious since it relies on you obtaining Transgaming's Cider, which is a commercial product.
You could argue that CiderX is another code "fork" of CXZ, though that's oversimplifying things.

The wrapper translates the Windows API calls from the PC version of the game to their Mac OSX equivalents.īelow is a video showing TRON 2.0 running with CiderX on Snow Leopard. This wrapper uses WINE as its basis, but it has been specifically redone and tailored to work well on OSX.
If you own an Intel Mac and manage to grab a copy of the Windows PC version of TRON 2.0, then you will be able to play the game in Leopard/Snow Leopard by using an emulator (also known as a "wrapper") called CXZ, rather than needing to use Windows with Boot Camp like before.
