Hey all,
I'm a spore addict and getting back into it, and I was reading my Spore box randomly when cleaning my desk and got to wondering how it would run on my Macbook?
Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
Processor : Intel Core Duo Processor
RAM : 1024 MB RAM
Video Card : ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
I didn't know whether this should go in gaming section or not, but I figured I could reach more fellow Mac users here who have played it.
My Macbook is a "Whitebook" running system 10.5
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0ghz
4 gig DDR2 of ram
9400m video card
If this needs to be moved to gaming thats fine. So any Spore players play through OS X? If you have a Macbook what settings are you running and about what FPS you average?
Thnx!

Well, I've managed to run Spore decently (at low-medium settings) with a 4 year old desktop (windows xp) running a Pentium 4 (3.2 GHz), 1GB RAM, and a horrendous Radeon X300 so I have very little doubt that it should run fine on your Mac.
-
yes, it should run spore perfectly.
-
SHOULD is the key word, depends on how crappy they ported it. The Sims 3 was horrible in OS X but when played in bootcamp it was perfect.
-
Yes, I play Sims 3 with a macbook.

Spore and the Sims 3 ran fine on OSX on my MB, but I have them in Windows 7 now, I get 5-10 more fps.
-
being Sims3 and Spore both run under Cider... they are not native ports... you will lose a slight amount of performance compared to a properly made native port. Thats not so bad since most Mac native ports made are done so poorly that Cider actually runs them better.

i have the 2.5ghz march 2008 model with the 8600m nvidia gpu. I ran spore fine, just not on high quality. i also played sims3 on it. i think your mac should run it smoother than mine.
