Halo demo that works on lion

Post by halooo~ » Tue Oct 02, 2012 7:49 am

Hello. Is it possible to play halo demo on lion?
I really want to play with my friends who are still playing on halo demo.
So Halo MD isn't really what I am looking for.
Please suggest me some methods that allow me to play halo demo on lion.
Thank you!

The only way if the Gamespy server was connected to HaloMD but the halo dev team doesn't want to recreate it. I'm sorry but your just have to find a way to get a old mac or if possible an emulator. Good luck.

EDIT: Your looking for a way just try an emulator hopefully will work. If you have windows 7 or vista and you only want the new one just try to an emulator. Btw I have a cd installer for mac 10.3.9 and it helps me for situations like that.

HaloMD is still in its alpha versions. Have you tried it?

You have to play with them on HaloMD. You want to play with your friends in Halo Demo, which is the completely wrong approach. Your approach should be for them to stop playing Halo Demo.

Halo Demo is dead.
I am no longer active to Halo or MGM, and don't guarantee a response on the forums or through email. I will however linger around the discord room for general chatting. It's been fun!

Nil is right.
Halo demo is dead even if I play it. Look at how many servers there are compared to Halo Custom Edition and Halo 2 on PC. There's over a hundred or maybe I'm wrong and there are more. Anyway eventually people will go for HaloMD and people are already at it. There is great things about HaloMD I heard that there will be new maps built into it instead of the same old bloodgulch and I don't know if its true but I heard it might have the console enabled.
So HaloMD is the a good way to continue with Halo. By the way the HaloMD is only in it's Alpha versions or should I say (it's still a work in progress) like Sparky said.
Good luck.

You can install older versions of Mac OS X on a separate partition and boot into that by holding down the option key during computer startup. I am ~70% sure this will work

1. Open Disk Utility from inside your Utilities folder.
2. Click on the hard drive that you want to partition which has free space on it. It should be an internal drive.
3. Click on the Partition tab a the top.
4. Click on the partition map box and click the + at the bottom left to add a partition.
5. Click on the white partition and choose Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
6. Press the Apply button.
7. Pop in your Mac OS X Installation disk and open it up and let it restart the computer.
8. If it doesn't boot up from the installation disk, hold option during startup and choose the installation disk with the arrow keys and press Return.
9. Install Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 onto your partition.
10. Restart and hold down the option key then choose the new hard drive (it should be listed towards the end of the list of drives).

DO NOT MESS WITH THE MASTER BOOT RECORD UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HAVE EXPERIENCE DOING IT. I HAVE MADE THIS MISTAKE RECENTLY AND ALMOST IRREVERSIBLY LOST FOUR INTERNAL HARD DRIVES WORTH OF DATA. YOU DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIMENT HERE.

If you are installing multiple versions of Windows using Bootcamp, use refit in conjunction with EasyBCD.

AGAIN. DO NOT TOUCH THE MASTER BOOT RECORD OR BOOT MANAGER SETTINGS MANUALLY, OR YOU WILL RUIN YOUR COMPUTER.

So it's technically without boot camp or other kinds of emulator?

This can be horribly dangerous advice. Do not follow it blindly. To explain why: you *cannot* install an OS earlier than the OS that your Mac came with. See this link.

Halo Demo is dead not because of how many servers there are, but because it has no future since it doesn't function anymore.

Many thanks to the people who have made my years on MGM and on Halo Demo so memorable.

Well, then use Bootcamp and install Mac OS X onto a partition that uses VMWare Fusion. Or use Sheepsaver.
