I can only find the newest version and I want to avoid running into any problems URU has with newer versions. Where can I find Crossover games 8.0?

It seems that as some point between Crossover 8.0.0 and 9.1.0 there was made some changes in wine which broke the ability to display the curser right, and since Myst URU isn't on CodeWeavers officially supported games list, CodeWeavers didn't make patches to maintain compatibility with this game. Thanks for the guide, it is great to have URU on my mac :-D Would be cool if you could update the links i the guide and specify the version of Crossover Games needed. Thanks again, Zib U Rock!

I know that CodeWeavers back in 2008 where working on a DIB Engine of their own, but it seems to have ben discontinued.. so it might be that my version of Crossover Games (9.1.0) is handling URU a bit differently. Can you tell me which version of Crossover Games you used? Thanks for replying :-)

Mozilla uses OGG, Google uses WebM, and Apple uses H.264 (which is NOT open and is a horrible idea). Maybe WebM will catch on, maybe it won't, but for now, HTML5 video is a clusterfuck that requires content creators to encode FOUR versions of their video (including a Flash Video version just for fallback because guess what? IE doesn't support ANY of it). Here’s the problem: no one has yet agreed on a video standard for HTML5.
