Is there a mac application of Zelda Classic 2.10?

No offence, but I can't recall there ever being a Mac version of 2.10 - it was promised, and many people were asking about one in the original 2.10 thread at AGN, but never released.

There are alpha/beta builds for Mac, but Zelda Classic is primarily a Windows-based program. Though I bet if you ask nicely, Takuya will compile a Mac beta for you

The actual code for 2.10 is not optimized for OS X (10.4, Universal, or 10.3.9 and less.. ) If you tell me your OS Version I MIGHT be able to get one quickly.

How do I find this?

[Takuya]

Apple Menu -> About this Mac, and tell me the Processor as well as the version number.

[ziplobob2]

Processor = 700 MHz PowerPC G4
Version 10.4.10

Ah, that would be an original flat-panel iMac G4, or an original eMac then. There is an update available, to 10.4.11, so if you have the password, I would get that as soon as possible. However, I have never gotten ZC to run under anything newer than 10.3.9 before.

I have tested a recent beta on a Core Image-capable 1.2Ghz G4 system with 1GB of RAM running 10.4.11 and had some minor performance issues even with nothing else running; you may want to try and find a somewhat faster system to run ZC on. The graphics cards in the original flat-panel iMacs and eMacs are not terribly powerful and don't support some technologies that ZC might use. If ZC uses Core Image, then ZC might not run. I dunno if it does indeed use CI, I'm not a developer.
