Mac OS X: Spore.Installer.Fix-dGE

OUTDATED! Please check this one: http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4420786 -------------------------------------------------- <= Spore Installer OSX 10.4.11 Fix dGE => Tested on 1,66ghz Mac Mini running OSX 10.4.11, using Intel GMA 950 NOTE: Only tested on my Mac Mini, don't come back to whine it isn't working! Installation: 1. Run Installerfixed.app from anywhere you like with Spore CD in the cd-tray. 2. To get it run on 10.4.11, replace Spore.app info.plist with the one in the torrent. Put it in Spore.app -> Contents -> Info.plist. Make sure you replace the previous one. 3. Double click Spore.app and enjoy! <= dGE => Basically a fix that makes spore run on os x 10.4.11 and with Intel GMA 950. READ THE NFO! If it isn't working properly, I can't help. Just thought to share this fix. NOTE: Read the comments. You need to chmod the executables. Navigate to the same directory as Installerfixed.app and chmod +x following files by doing: sudo chmod +x InstallerFixed.app/Contents/PkgInfo sudo chmod +x InstallerFixed.app/Contents/MacOS/fileDispatcher sudo chmod +x InstallerFixed.app/Contents/MacOS/tgInstall sudo chmod +x InstallerFixed.app/Contents/MacOS/fileDispatcher.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/fileDispatcher And if it does work, please come back to give feedback.

Thanks. This works, sort of. The .app should be zipped when distributed via torrents because you lose the file info otherwise. You can fix this by chmodding the executable parts.
This will make this one work and I tried it on my Mini and Spore seems to be running fine so far.
Also, if you are on 10.5 there's no need to replace the plist.

Ah, thanks for the comment. My bad, I forgot to mention that you don't need to replace the plist in 10.5. I will add the chmod part into the desicription.

Cain303 (2008-09-14)

The files you need to chmod are the ones contained in this torrent. Specifically:
InstallerFixed/Contents/PkgInfo

InstallerFixed/Contents/MacOS/tgInstall

Oh, silly me. Of course. Thanks about the correction.

Will this work on cracked games? im downloading right now, and hoping it doesn't make a difference.

When running spore on my 10.5.4 1st gen macbook I get a black screen on the right side in the creature updater build mode, probably because I do not have enough gpu memory. Will this fix it? Cheers

Kholdstare: Should work with cracked version too. Test it out :)
4nr-: No, this will not fix that.

guys.. the creature editor is still useless using this. game runs, but if you cant edit your creatures, whats the point. Just run it under boot camp, works beautifully!!!

Hmm. Whenever I try to CHMOD the InstallerFixed.app it says in terminal
chmod: InstallerFixed.app/Contents/PkgInfo: No such file or directory
Plz re upload with it zipped. If you can, you rock dude :)

downloaded another spore crack for mac and moved it into the sporebin, now it works! but only for a minute then it quits and this message pops up:
"EXCEPTION RAISED
Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at addess 0x008d1703.
Do you wish to debug it?"
NO YES?
Does anyone know what this means, or how to fix it?? THANKS :)

how do you chmod on this app? I have never done that before and would like to play this game on my gma 950 tiger running macbook. thanks

jtmiko (2008-09-28)

Alright I figured out how to chmod the executables but now when I open terminal It says it can find file or directory. I noticed that the filedispatcher and tginstall will open in terminal and work but the others try and open in final cut pro and do not give me the option to open in terminal. any ideas?

DhoomLordlol (2008-09-29)

Ok I still don't know how to Chmod the executables? it says
chmod: InstallerFixed.app/Contents/PkgInfo: No such file or directory.
How do I? Jtmiko plz tell me how you chmoded it.

It seems like chmodding causes so many problems so I decided to reupload it zipped: http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4420786
