Hi,
could someone please help me;
how do I install this game on my mac?
The lost cases of Sherlock Holmes (pc & mac)

Thanks a lot.

Insert the CD and install the game?

I suppose there a problem; could you describe what's happening? If the CD is a hybrid disc (containing separate partitions for Mac and PC) it could be possible that the wrong side is mounted for some reason. If you see .EXE files that is likely the cause. On the other hand, if you see .PKG or .DMG files, those are the key. PKG is install package while DMG is a disk image (the game/installer is located inside).

Hi,
I see Exe files.
But still don´t know what to do...

Unforunately it is possible that you have a windows only game. (.exe files are windows executable files)
What does it say on the disk or on the cover in the spesifications section or in requirements section? What are the required machine types for the game to run? Operating systems, OS version numbers and so on..?

Hi,
it says pc&mac. And the system requirements are mac osx leopard.
My mac is a Macbook pro, late 2008.
So I believe it should work, but it doesn´t.
It´s a mystery...

That's true it should work okay. Google didn't help much, I tried allready searching couple of phrases. Sorry I can't help on this one today.

Allright, well thanks anyway.

Seems as if atheos was right: for some (odd) reason you see the PC-partition of the disc.

If you use Disc Utility (is located in Applications/Utilities folder) can you see the Mac-partition? If so, can you mount it?

[Pata100]

ok, thanks I´ll try it.

[Pata100]

No it didn´t work
Maybe I´ll just give up.

Try contacting the developer: http://www.legacygames.com/contact/

The game is also available as a download; if the problem can't be solved otherwise, they can probably at least give you a free download.
