Watsup forum :) just got started playing hacktics 1.3 and to my knowledge its very fun and challenging, LOVING IT! Just had a question regarding if implementing/installing sprites is possible through Mac. im using a Macbook Pro "15 and ISO that im using for Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX) is a .img file. I had a hardtime looking through the forums to find answer and if there is a similar post regarding what im asking please post it. If there is a way to put sprites through a Mac i would deeply appreciate it and will be streaming my playthrough of FFT 1.3 through livestream [www.livestream.com/reikn] through im very new at it would be nice to speak to you all :) thanks for your help!

All the programs are for Windows for the most part. Do you have an intel based mac?

i believe so, this macbook pro (15") has a 2 GHz Intel Core i7

Well you can try to figure out how to use Wine, and it might run some of the programs. Otherwise you will need to find a way to dual boot either using Bootcamp or Virtual PC (there are other options) to run the Windows operating system.

u mean crossover right? if so yea ill give it a try. if anyone else is reading this and would like to help please do so lol :) ill keep this thread updated and try to figure it out for us mac users :). thanks again Cheetah.

Cheetah

There are many options, crossover is actually just the paid version of Wine. I just recently started using Wine and it is decent. It is also free and legal, two words that are rarely used on a hacking site.

That tutorial may be very outdated, I never had to do any command line stuff. Though then again I haven't gotten every program running.
