I would think that the game would work using 10.3 Panther as long as you have a Mac that isn't too old. What are some of your other system specs? (Of course, you might also try e-mailing Jakub at contact-at-amanitadesign, but he's mentioned before that he's not very experienced with Macs.) Title: Re: Game doesn`t work on Mac OS 10.3.9? Post by: Neil on October 23, 2009, 10:25:36 pm Does Flash still support 10.3? That might be your problem. If Google isn't lying to me you should be able to purchase 10.4 for less than

Post by: Lamkin on October 23, 2009, 10:47:22 pm Well, I did some searching and it seems that neildawson is correct in that Flash Player 10 isn't compatible with 10.3. However, you might try downloading the standalone Flash Player 9 (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/sa_flashplayer_9.app.zip) in order to see if that might work with Panther.
You'll have to perform a couple of additional steps, too: 1. Open the folder which contains Machinarium and Control-click on its application. 2. Select Show Package Contents and then open Contents/Resources. 3. Locate the movie.swf file and move (or copy it) so that it sits right alongside the application for Machinarium. 4. Now open Flash Player 9 and in the File menu, select Open... 5. Click on Open File... and navigate to the movie.swf file. It's a pain, I know, but there's a good chance it will work as long as you're able to install the standalone version of Flash Player 9. Edit: I just tested the game using the standalone version of Flash Player 8 and it worked fine, but I'd try 9 first. Of course, I'm using Tiger (10.4.11), so I have no way of knowing for certain if any of this will work for you. =o( Title: Re: Game doesn`t work on Mac OS 10.3.9?
