Zero Hour on Apple Mac Store, Zero Hour just released on Apple Mac Store Options

[Deliverator]

Hi. I used to play Shockwave on my mac a lot but then lost my disk. Zero Hour and Generals were just re-released on the Apple Mac Store but in a container bundle. Any chance the Shockwave files and maps will be compatible with it and that someone might publish instructions? Looking forward to playing again! Thanks!

I presume you've seen http://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles...-Mac-App-Store-

It looks like expansion/fan-made maps will work.

Do you know how this 'Mac version' works, i.e., if it runs on MacOS in a "bottle" as with CrossOver (Wine)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjVT1IYiujU might give some tips on poking around inside the game file structure if it runs in a bottle.

I'm almost tempted to monkey around with this so I can avoid running Parallels in order to play Shockwave/ROTR, but I don't feel like spending $25 at the App store at the moment.

Good luck, let us know if you get it working.

I had a look but it will take a better informed person than me to make it work (if it is possible). It was pretty easy to write the automator script to move SW files in and out of the ZH folders as needed (I prefer SW but used to play ZH on Gameranger with other mac users and not everyone had SW). The new app bundles from ASPYR wrap everything in one great bundle and I wouldn't know how to access it. Looks like also stuck with standard maps as there is no (easy for me anyway) way to add a folder into the bundle. If anyone gets it working with SW please let me know, it used to be great. Maybe I will just go back to my disk... Thanks for the comments
