marko85 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Everyone, sorry if this topic was already covered but any chance I could play the game on my iMac (I think I spent a part of my teenage years years playing these games, still remember the keyboard shortcuts even :P) And if not Mac then how? I do have VMWare + Windows XP + Emperor but the graphics are bad and it's so laggy. Help! and Thanks Marko85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KALONY Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hey there, Yeah, i am running it on a mac. Well, not realy, but for sure on a macbook. Bootcamp is needed. I installed a bootcamp partition and bought a used emperor cd pack. I had trouble installing it, so i looked for some other installations in the www...it took me a whole evening, but finaly i got it running and with hamatchci also online. I never tried if playing a campaign could work, but skirmish and online works just fine on a macbook with bootcamp. only for some few shortcuts you need the "fn" key, if you wanna use the F Keys. I dont realy remember how i finaly got it running...Give it a try. Emperor is still worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko85 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 thanks for the answer!! it will definitely be worth it... is the graphics quality OK? is there any lag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KALONY Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 the graohics on the mac are as they have always been and in skirmish games was no lag at all. i had not much online games but as long as i could experience, there was no lag there too.

marko85 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 perfect! sorry, one more question, which windows are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KALONY Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 i did it with win10. bought an licence for like 10 bugs. but i might have run emperor in xp-mode. i dont remember exactly, but i tried a whole night with different versions (cd, cracked ones and so on) til t was working. but if you have a working cd version it might be faster. my cd was broken. bought a used one...
