Force your older Mac to evolve and run Spore Creature Creator

by Kevin Kelly { Jun 17th 2008 at 8:10PM }

If you've been living under a rock lately and haven't heard about the Spore Creature Creator, we forgive you. However, if you actually just live under a rock and look like something spawned from the Creature Creator, and have been pouting because you have an Interl Mac Mini or an older MacBook with Intel's GMA 950 integrated graphics, then turn that frown upside down.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog will let you know how to fool the program into thinking you're sporting a different graphics chip, and you'll be able to play God on your precious piece of outdated, but still loved, hardware. Just don't blame us if your now hacked machine becomes sentient and starts spawning.

Who needs to be able to do anything else?

I want to do this on my crappy pc laptop.

mr nimblewick @ Jun 17th 2008 8:36PM

Hahaha, I got it to run by deleting some text from the config file, but the graphics don't really display. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Get a better computer?

mr nimblewick @ Jun 17th 2008 11:49PM

Hm... Can I borrow $1500?

Ihavepants @ Jun 17th 2008 11:59PM

How about you spend around 900 for a desktop PC that runs Crysis on max.

mr nimblewick @ Jun 18th 2008 12:15AM

I don't have any room for a desktop... and I hate them. I hate them with a passion.

Ihavepants @ Jun 18th 2008 12:28AM

I hate you >.>

But seriously now, let's hook up. It is meant to be, we will be the perfect union, we shall defy physics and common sense, you will give me your bank details, we will depart from eachother. You dirty and selling your socks for candy, Me: living in the bahamas, permanently naked.
