Any updates on this?

Now that Crossover Games is launched - will we see any attempts to get this Game of games up and running? I'm desp to get a working GTA SA on my Macbook. GTA Vice City runs well enough...

This game runs fine on Crossover games no tweaking needed at all xD

I'm not sure what you're running, but I can hardly get this game to run. It took a lot just to get it fullscreen. I can get in game, but it runs so slow when there is some decent action going on. It runs great in low traffic areas like inside CJ's house, but on a busy street it's almost unplayable. I'm also noticing the same jutting polygons as I saw in GTA:VC, but unlike Vice City, I can't hit Esc to the menu and then come back to the game to fix it. My specs are as follows: MacBook Pro, OS X 10.4.11, ATI Radeon X1600, 2 gigs of RAM, Crossover Games 7.0.

Alright, I got SA to work a little better last night by disabling pixel and vertex shaders. That got rid of the slow down problem, but I'm still getting the random buildings turning into crazy polygons problem.

I've gotten it to run directly from Steam no problems at full screen with the settings turned up at max res. (1440 x 900) with no modifications
I'm running it on a macbook pro I got in august (so the second newest model) 15" 2GB of ram, 2.4Ghz processors with the standard 256mb 8600(?) Nvidia card.

install the directX drivers from the GTA SA DVD. that got it to work for me. now i just need to get the performance to speed up
