and so on....

do you have CI/QE enabled?

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.

-crawle

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.

CI/QE works .....

the only problem i had..... Audio (bulit in) ---> No Built-in Audio
but i can hear music and system-sounds, it works great but the system profiler doesn't show my ALC850 :(

@iccthedral
what i've to do?

Try this:

1. Download this file: <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/96033590/oah.zip.html">http://rapidshare.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 .

@iccthedral

:( i tried it...but i get the same error-message

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.

same problem with Tomb Raider - Anniversary Demo and Age of Empires III Trial :(

Try running marvins, if you come up with an opengl file under frameworks that needs patching I think you have your answer
