Windowed mode for MAC version? (or Win ver if not Mac)

#1 Post by tellville » Mon Nov 01, 2010 11:19 pm

I've been searching the forums but haven't been able to find an actual answer. Is it possible to play this game in windowed mode on a Mac? If not, is it possible to play it in windowed mode on a Windows XP machine? If so, how?

Thank you for these awesome remakes btw to the people involved!

If it's the same as on Windows all you'll need to do is run the setup file in the game directory.

Thank you MusicallyInspired. I opened up the mac package and opened the windows setup exe through Parallels. I changed it to windowed mode and then started the Mac game. It worked. The problem is the window is so ridiculously small that it makes it kind of worthless. I can change my resolution to really low (800 x 600) but it is still really small. I think I will download the game for Windows and see if the problem is the same. If it is I'll just give up.

I am just playing in Parallels now. That way I can play in a windowed mode but at a very nice, comfortable, and big size.

You can change the resolution and the scaler in the setup as well. Try like 2x or 3x in the scaler option.
