CSI-Hard Evidence wrapped with CrossOver Games 8.1.0 runs splendidly on my iMac 24" 2.93 Ghz graphic card ATI Radeon HD 4850 with snow leopard (10.6.2). I hadn't the least problem from the beginning to the end.

That's because the CSI 4 Hard Evidence wrapper (for snow leopard users) is the CSI 3 Las Vegas wrapper with a small modification to the info.plist. The CSI 3 Las Vegas wrapper is a CXskin, which currently are working with snow leopard.

-nice try, but you haven't found any secret way to solve all of the snow leopard compatibility issues that so many experienced porters haven't been able to fix

Thanks for the info on the temp fix. Any news on the progress being made towards full snow leopard support?

Moving every CX Port by hand to CXZ/Wineskin is the only solution.

Ew.. That doesn't sound like fun work. Take your time. I found this place randomly and I have to say its a great resource. Here's hoping the release of CX9 will help this along.

I'm game, I've actually already done Clive Barker's Undying and indeed it did only take 5 minutes, It can be found at BrSt for now, but I'll upload it soon and post here.

Thanks for the info.  On the Brightside we can move from CX which i never liked anyway. Too bad about all the effort it takes.

Finally! I have been looking a while to find a temp fix for the problem, thank you so much!

Now...whats next on my list of things that 10.6.2 broke? ;)

[wallspaper]

thanks for the tips

Snow Leopard is faster than Leopard. I already upgraded.

Thank you for info!

instead of the applescript mentioned above you could also use the one i posted over at insanlymac:

set desktoppath to "/"
set spotlightquery to "\"kMDItemFSName == 'CX Pro Wrapper 8.0.app\""
set command to "mdfind -onlyin " & desktoppath & " " & spotlightquery
set founditems to paragraphs of (do shell script command)
set the input to the result as Unicode text
set the result to ""
set nextPart to ""
on urlToPOSIXPath(theURL)
	return do shell script "python -c \"import urllib, urlparse, sys; print urllib.unquote(urlparse.urlparse(sys.argv[1])[2])\" " & quoted form of theURL
end urlToPOSIXPath
to searchReplace(thisText, searchTerm, replacement)
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to searchTerm
	set thisText to thisText's text items
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to replacement
	set thisText to "" & thisText
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
	return thisText
end searchReplace
set the_url to input
set value to searchReplace(urlToPOSIXPath(the_url), "/Macintosh HD", "")
set new_value to searchReplace(value, " ", "\\ ")
set nextPart to the result
do shell script ("VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes " & nextPart & "/Contents/MacOS/CrossOver\\ Chromium") as Unicode text

replacing the "CX Pro Wrapper 8.0.app" bit with the name of your wrapper.

This is better in my opinion because it lets you move the game into a different location without changing the applescript.

I am very new at this. I don't really know what a lot of this stuff does, but I just tried it and nothing happened. I suspect that I am doing it wrong.

I copied that entire script into the AppleScript Editor, changed "CX Pro Wrapper 8.0.app" to "Sniper - Art of Victory.app" (which is the game I am trying to play) and pressed "Run". It said "Running Script" and then "" and nothing is happening. I suspect there are more steps that I am not doing correctly. Could you or someone help please?
