Title: Any chance for starcraft launcher for Mac OS?
Post by: wayman on May 08, 2010, 11:35:13 AM
As you know, Starcraft 2 Beta for Mac OS is now available. It'd be nice to have a launcher. I am often not with my PC and sometime travel with my Macbook. So I need to play Sc2 on my mac. Any info?

Cheers

Actually, considering how Cocoa is c++ plus a couple of new commands, if they compiled the source code under Xcode it should work :)

So all we need now is the source code. ;)

Well, I run my windows CD, I install it and then after that, I reboot. Once that's done, you're supposed to install windows again but this time by booting off the hard drive right? Well, I never get to that part :( It just says unable to boot into windows, corrupted or missing file c:qworjasoipfjdsoijfoeifj/wefsdfsadf/wefsadf/HAL.DLL :(
