Go to Apple-Logo (top left corner) -> About This Mac (in your language) -> More Information -> Graphics/Displays -> Your Graphics-Card/Display, look for Core Image (if it's hardware supported) and Quart Extreme.

If you are having trouble launching PPC (Universal binaries) based games, you will need an unpatched (untouched by Marvin's cpuid/decrypt patcher) version of Rosetta.
Try this:
1. Download this file: <a href="rapid share.com/files/96033590/oah.zip.html">rapid share.com/files/96033590/oah.zip.html</a>
2. As root, move /usr/libexec/oah directory somewhere safe for backup
3. unzip the downloaded file into /usr/libexec/
4. Run WOW and cross your fingers
If you prefer using command line:
Open Terminal
sudo -s
cd /usr/libexec
cp -R oah oah.bak
rm -rf /usr/libexec/oah
cp -R ~/Downloads/oah .I thought as much, cause the WoW application is intel-native. Have you tried launching any other games? Unreal? Doom 3?
I encountered the same problem you are having now, until I copied the Rosetta distribution from an unpatched intel-mac.
Try running marvins, if you come up with an opengl file under frameworks that needs patching I think you have your answer
Bummer! Also, try running this command in terminal:
/usr/libexec/oah/translate
if your Rosetta is fine it should run, and give its usage details:
Usage: /usr/libexec/oah/translate [-argv0 <file>] [-b] [-z <file>] <subject program> <subject arguments>
Options:
-argv0
Override argv[0] for subject program execv, execve calls.
-b
Display the current baseline version.
-z <config file>
Config file.
Did you already try running Marvin on your /System/Library/Frameworks folder as lanxx suggested?
choose second option create patcher package
when completed copy patches folder including patcher and cpuid.txt
to root of your drive
reboot with -s
mount -uw /
cd patches
./patcher cpuid.txt
by the way tombraider demo 1680x1050 full screen anti aliasing smooth as anything (geforce 7900gs)
If it found any files to patch it should say in the window, and if it did:
1. Boot in single user mode (-s)
2. Mount the root FS in r/w mode (mount -uw /)
3. Goto the folder containing the patcher
4. Run the patcher
5. exit or reboot
[cite] iccthedral:lanxxx beat me to it
lol so years of typing paid of for something then.
haha, and here I am mastering typing with two fingers!
Thanks a lot! This got me on the track to solve my problem with Toast and Popcorn (osx.kb ot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=842&page=1#Item_1).
I just wanted to add here that I didn't have to boot into single user mode. I simply ran the patcher as super user and that seems to have done the trick. I didn't even have to reboot - Toast and Popcorn opened fine the first time I tried after applying the patch.
I'm having a problem downloading and installing World of Warcraft. I tried installing off my CD, but when i get around 25% it gives me a kernel panic. Thought maybe my CD was messed up, so tried downloading it, but whenever i get around 80% (just downloading it) I get a kernel panic. Not sure if it's the same problem as the OP, but i figured I'd try posting here ._.; my CI is software and QE is not support (not 100% of what these are, kind of new to macs ).
