Nick Jarvis Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Here are my Mac specifications: Machine Name: iBook G4 Machine Model: PowerBook6,7 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 640 MB Bus Speed: 133 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.9.3f0 Sudden Motion Sensor: State: Enabled Version: 1.0 (I haven't bout FM since 2005) I put the disk in, followed the step by step instructions and installed it. Then I went into applications, found the sports interactive folder, found the FM09 icon. I clicked on the Icon, first a black screen appeared the a white screen. I waited for 15 mins max to see if it was loading or something - still a white screen!! I have read about patches and authentication etc. If I have to input a code - which website do i do it from? Or is that just for PCs? The Patch that is due out Monday, will it fix my particular problem?? HEEEEEEEELLLPPP!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUBI Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 The game is not official supported for PPC mac. BUT. It is sold with the mac universal sign, so it SHOULD work with PPC macs. They have to make a patch to address this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jones Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 If you have a Mac problem don't expect any help from SI. We're the black sheep. Let them sort out the PC user's first then crossed you fingers for some help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballan98 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 can anybody help the MAC users on this issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndebergerac Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm a mac user waiting on WWSM. Hopefully I won't have the same issue as I'll most likely be waiting even longer for a patch. FM 2008 worked no problem out of the box on my system, as did the FM 2009 demo, so hopefully I'll have no issues. If I do, the game is going straight onto ebay, I'm not waiting on a patch to make a paid for game playable. I won't be able to run the 3D match engine without an upgrade, but I'm not concerned about that. Nick Jarvis, I have a bad feeling that your specs don't meet the requirement, but I'm far from an expert so don't hold me to that My specs: Model Name: MacBook Model Identifier: MacBook2,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 1 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz Boot ROM Version: MB21.00A5.B07 SMC Version: 1.17f0 Serial Number: W8730A48YA4 Sudden Motion Sensor: State: Enabled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jarvis Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ive got an older mac than you so it doesn't look hopeful. I cant see how a patch is going to help my situation. And because they state the specifications that you need to run the game (which I always ignore) I haven't got a leg to stand on. It might be that I need to activate it, but no one / Instructions booklet has mentioned a website that you can activate it on. Steam is mentioned a lot, but from what I can gather, it is a Windows program (.exe) which doesn't mean anything to my computer!!!! What a load of hard work - just to play a computer game!!!!!!!

KUBI Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You don´t need to activate the mac version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jarvis Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 You don´t need to activate the mac version. Ah, at last, I can now dismiss activation on this issue thanks to Kubi, But I did email Sega on the matter, All I got back was "Have you checked the specs on the back of the Case?" Thanks Sega for your concern!!!! So I think that my laptop is too out of date to play FM09!!!! Probably not a good investment to buy a new computer just so I can play a computer game!!!
