Got pirates (sort of) running on osx!

I tested this game today. It installed on win98-bottle ok. To get game running I needed to use crack found on internet. Game menu loaded really slowly and I thought it crashed, but there it was, eventually. Next I put all video settings to lowest possible and like that I could start playing.
Mouse cursor is invisible, so playing with keyboard is best way. Everything is in slow motion and game crashes really often. So it's unplayble at the moment, but hopefully it will work on future.
Anybody else have tried this?

I installed it in Crossover 7.1 but was unable to do so in Crossover Games 7.1.1. The executable does not get installed, just the support files. Under Crossover, the graphics are really horrible making the game essentially unplayable.

It is available as a native application on Mac OS X now. Now, if it only ran on Linux...

Installs and runs fine without advanced shader support. it does have stutter when loading textures however. The cd key check kills it unless you used a cracked executable. If you enable advanced shader support in the options menu, corrupted shadows are everywhere. *tested on CX Mac 8.0
