I found a post on the subject from the guy who wrote this book about Mac OS X internals. See Mac OS X Internals - Is Your Machine Good Enough for Snow Leopard K64? His post mentions Snow Leopard (10.6), but the issues would be similar for 10.7.

#BOXER FOR MAC OS 64 BIT#

Here's the part I found most relevant to your question: Boxer mac os 64 bit mac os x# Unfortunately, a 64-bit processor alone doesn’t suffice. Although a 32-bit EFI could launch a 64-bit kernel, The first limitation actually does have merit and is arguably not all (A cursory look suggests thatīoth of these "limitations" are technically artificial, albeit to The machine’s model is prohibited from booting K64 through a hardcoded list within the boot loader.Out of theīox, boot.efi will not boot K64 even if you have a 64-bit processorĪnd explicitly request K64 if at least one of the following is true. Wanting to run a 64-bit kernel for testing and debugging, this may not The kernel, when running, would not be able to use firmware services. (Aside: Why do you want to run the 64-bit kernel, anyway? The OS X 32-bit kernel can run 64-bit programs.) On the one hand, the author states that the limitations may be artificial, which still indicates some promise of a workaround, but on the other hand, as van Rhee's answer also already pointed out, you may end up with devices without support under 64-bit. I did some more digging searching for a real workaround of some kind, not just theory. I found the following: OS X Daily - Got an Older Mac? MLPostFactor Installs OS X 10.8.3 on Old Unsupported Macs.

OS X Daily's article links to a series of forum posts at MacRumors - Success! Install 10.8 on old unsupported Mac. I still don't definitively know if you can get the OS X 10.7 64-bit kernel running on your specific kind of Mac, but I suspect for the reasons mentioned in this image from the MacRumors forum thread that you can't: "Problem is cards like Does NOT have 64-bit Kexts 64-Bit Kernel will NOT load these 32-bit kexts". Essentially, what van Rhee already said.īut then I found this. Quoting: "Apple has included 64-bit drivers for GMA950 in the OS X 10.6.2 update. These drivers can be used to provide partial support for GMA950 under OS 10.8.". I would love to see Crystal Caves and the Duke Nukem (the 2D platformer) in the list, however this is amazing collection and well worth a look.And I'm thinking: maybe such kexts exist for your card and might work on 10.7 too, if they'd work on 10.6 & 10.8? You may have to hunt and mix & match bits from elsewhere.

Not all the classics are in the collections. I did manage to get them running by right-clicking the games's. Some games like all of the Leisure Suite Larry series were not importable by Boxer for some reason.

I found little difference between fast and fancy smoothing, however the setting I use now is fancy smoothing as a default.Īfter having gone through the 2000+ games from 's collection, here are some of my favourite picks: Here's when I launched a few of the games to test this out (not it did not work in Safari for me, I had to use Chrome). This is quick and easy and you don't need to install anything, simply click the 'Run' link on the game. You can go ahead and launch and play the games directly in a web browser. There are two collections, which do not seem to have any overlap: Unfortunately the search feature is not very user friendly and I had to manually go through the whole list to pick out the games that I wanted (list of my picks is further down).

Here's how.īefore I show how to get these games running on your Mac, here are links to the two collections that has made available. Not all games are downloadable directly either, but with a bit of URL manipulation and the Boxer app, you can get these running directly on your Mac. This is all well and good, but the in-browser games do not appear to work in Safari they do work in Chrome.
