I am running CC5 through Paulthetall's porting kit on my mac and it works perfectly. No need for bootcamp or installing windows operating systems with this. I also was able to patch to 5.01a and installs the mods fine, Battle of the Bulge runs good.
The only thing I can't do is play online against others as yet.
Hope this helps any other mac users out there who are interested in the CC series again.
Hey Rypin,
Just discovered the porting kit a few weeks ago. I managed to install CC5 just fine, but can’t figure out how to install mods like GJS. You said you have installed mods...
Can you help me out here?
Also, I couldn’t figure out how to install Panthers in the fog with the porting kit. A long time ago I played these games within parallels, but I don’t have a working version anymore, nor do I have Windows. Being able to play CC just from the finder would be so great!
I have a Powerbook 1.25 Ghz. It's best you download the mod's with safari, and then copy them to VPC. It will be faster than downloading in VPC itself, and less chance on file corruption.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
