Moi on Mac under Crossover

I would like to know if someone was actually able to use Moi on a macbook under Crossover. I try both the last v2 beta and the v1 no saving, without luck.
I know that it should work fine with Fusion or parallel, but seems quite strange that crossover can load some games and not moi...

Two more programs to go only Mac (the other one is Fryrender), now that MyLifeOrganized work with Crossover and I'm trying to switch from Max to modo!

Regards
Luca

Hi Luca - MoI uses mshtml.dll for a lot of the UI, so Internet Explorer to be installed - that's probably what is missing and what is the main difference from the games that you have tried.

Under WINE you can possibly use "winetricks" to install IE6 or IE7 and maybe get some more stuff to work.

I think Crossover is some kind of special version of WINE so maybe it is possible to use the same kind of thing there.

Actually I have installed IE6 (IE7 doesn't work for me and IE8 seem not supported), but I still have a crash.
I will try again later. Thanks for the help.

Hi Luca, if you can find any crash report files, can you please send them to me in e-mail at moi@moi3d.com ?

These will be files named moi_report1.zip, moi_report2.zip, etc... , and they will be either in the main MoI install folder, or possibly in the windows temp folder.

Those contain a stack trace dump that could help me determine which specific thing was causing the crash. But it is probably going to be something that is not being emulated quite well enough by Crossover.

Hey Falcon,

I a run MOI on my MBP through VMWare. I went this route because I heard that VMWare performed better than parallel.

Parallels runs better w/o any troubles. Trust me, I've tried all the combinations of Mac running Windows.
