Warning to Mac Users

Post by jvgfanatic »

This game is not distributed as file you can just transfer across to your PDA. You must download the setup executable onto a Windows (capable) machine to unzip it, run setup, and enter your serial number.

You can transfer the resulting prc (or windows/pocket) files to your mac via email. You will have to enter your serial number *again* once you run the game on the PDA as well but at least you can get it there.

I'm glad I could dl'd it again from findmyorder.com because the zip (and resulting executable) are not emailable with either gmail or hotmail (the two services I use).

...and companies try to convince us that copy protection is for *our* benefit. Riiiiight.

All that being said I must say thank you for bringing another great game to a wider audience.

This is no longer the case. Since version 1.53 no executable for Windows is shipped. Just copy the file to your Pocket PC for installation.

The Matrix version comes with a SETUP program that is a Windows executable. That Setup program will only run on a Windows based machine. It requires the entry of a serial number oddly enough (odd, because the game ALSO requires the entry of that number...I could understand if it was just the game that required it).

You did get my hopes up though for a second, you mean to say that the Palm version has been updated to 1.5.3 as well?! Ha, I know you didn't mean that but I did get my hopes up.

Anyway, if the Matrix version no longer comes in the form of a Setup application then kudos.

The latest Palm version is 1.43 it won't be updated to the same level as the Pocket PC version. There may be further games for Palm equal to their PPC versions.
