Never mind ToSC, I solved it ages ago on the PC. Twice. What I want to know is when BG2 will be made available. They already have a second expansion pack out for the PC and will be releasing the third very soon. Not to mention Icewindale. Will BG2 be Carbon? I know, fat chance.

Graphsim is, officially at least, planning to update all of their games for OS X. I 'd actually be surprised if BGII *didn't* ship as a Carbon app.

Almost every new game seems to ship Carbonized these days. From what I've heard, Carbonizing games isn't a huge hurdle, since they generally have their own GUIs and don't need updating for Aqua.

GraphSim isn't porting BG2. I haven't heard if they'll be going back and carbonizing their older games, but I tend to doubt it. They didn't have a lot of luck porting BG and ToSC efficiently. I tend to doubt they'll spend the time carbonizing and older application.

As for BG2, MacPlay hasn't indicated when they will be carbonizing, but they have entered beta on the game and have said they're targeting Macworld NY as the release date.

Interestingly, my BG runs better in Classic mode than it does in OS 9! So if they don't carbonize it, maybe I'll have the same luck!

Os if Graphsim is going to going to make TotSC os going to be ported to OSX then that should mean that the regular BG will have to be carbonized too. Right?[/LIST]
