Hello,
Long time fan, trying to return to a favourite childhood game. I am having some problems installing with a MacBook.
I have the game installed using CrossOver and a Windows 98 bottle. Everything seems to work, except when the game loads it errors and says "Unable to initialize the graphics in full screen mode - please ensure that DirectX has been installed correctly and that your graphics adaptor supports 800 x 600 pixel resolution in 16 but colour". I am 90% sure I have DirectX installed through the original installation. I am on a MacBook Pro M1 2020 IoS 12.5.1. Any ideas would be amazing.
Have the same issue as @22Miller22 when trying to get the game running. Tried your solution of putting the ddraw.dll into the CM bottle created and still getting the same error upon startup. Even tried putting inside the data folder within the CM folder of the bottle and no luck.
Did install the game into a Crossover bottle with the "Install Direct X" option unticked, as suggested from other guides. Might try installing it with the DX option selected.
Can anyone help regarding previously mentioned error when trying to run the game; "Unable to initialize the graphics in full screen mode - please ensure that DirectX has been installed correctly and that your graphics adaptor supports 800 x 600 pixel resolution in 16 but colour".
Right, I have spent about 4 hours trying to get CM0102 onto my MacBook Air.
I have tried the windows players for mac, I have tried John Betts starter kit, and the bit where you have to type in the long code isn't working either.
There must be an easier FREE way to download this game onto my app. Can someone please help as I am getting so frustrated with it
If anyone really knows how to help then please feel free to private message as I have tried following the tutorials and they simply don't work.
Thanks in advance for helping a MAC rookie. I just want to sign to madeira again.

Using Crossover on a 2021 MacBook Pro M1.
Have managed to get the game loading in windowed mode via command line "-windowed".
Still no luck trying to get the game in fullscreen however, and windowed mode itself is too small to realistically play properly. Tried to use "-full_screen" command line when running but get hit with the same error as quoted above.

Use a Windows virtual machine if you can't get the Starter Kit working. It's the next easiest solution.
