If thats not enough, its also as of writing (until May 7) at $3/2, so picking up the base game is an inexpensive first step. Star wars battlefront 2 mods. While EA thinks about that (dont hold your breath, says my Force-powered 8 ball), 2005s Battlefront 2 still hosts a small but fiercely dedicated community and a legion of intricate mods. That combo provides a sizable content boost to most modes with minimal deviation from stock army-on-army gameplay, but plenty more choices await your consideration in this gallery. As a rule of thumb, keep the 1.3 update installed when configuring mods, as many of them wont work without it. Server and not the client version. This is a legal requirement by Apple.You are legally allowed to virtualise the server version but not the normal, client version. Mac Os X Install Snow Leopard
This article deals with setting up/installing a virtual machine with Mac OS X 10.6 clean/from scratch. If you would like to transfer an existing Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 to a virtual machine, or take a Mac OS X 10.6 bootable storage device/clone/disk image and convert it into a virtual machine please see this article instead. Virtualisation Software
Parallels Desktop [69.99 inc VAT - 14 day free trial available]
VMWare Fusion [70.00 inc VAT - 30 day free trial available]
Oracle VirtualBox [FREE - Open source under GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2] Instructions Some people have reported that if you have a very modern Macintosh computer (one released well after Mac OS X 10.6 existed) it is not easy/possible to install to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server in a virtual environment. We're looking into that and will update this article with more information when we have it. We'll test with other Macs as and when we can and update this article accordingly. For this article we have tested using the following Macs:
MacBook Pro 15' (Early 2011 model - MacBookPro8,2) [released after 10.6.3]
Mac mini (Late 2012 model - Macmini6,2) [released after 10.6.3] If you do have an older Mac that should support Mac OS X 10.6 but get an error message along the lines of 'Mac OS virtual machines can run only on computers having Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5.1 or higher) or Mac OS X Tiger (version 10.4.11 or higher) installed' specifically listing 'Problem ID: 397' then follow Parallel's instructions here and try again. Preparation NOTE : You will need a Mac with a physical, optical drive to create an ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD. This does not need to be the Mac you ultimately install the virtual machine on, you just need a Mac with an optical drive to create the ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD in the first place.
Obtain your preferred virtualisation software (see list above)
Obtain the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install disc:
If you don't have one, it is available by calling the Apple Store (in the UK 0800 048 0408) - you cannot buy it via the Apple online store
You need part number 'MC588Z/A' which is specifically 'Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Server Unlimited Clients Single Licence International' (14.00 inc VAT in the UK) - not the normal client edition (part number MC573Z/A)
Create an ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD:
Go to Macintosh HD Applications Utilities Disk Utility
Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD
In Disk Utility, in the top left, click on the icon for the optical drive not the indented line for the disc volume
Go to File menu New Disk Image from device name , where device name is the OS name of your optical drive e.g. disk1
In the save dialogue box enter a suitable filename e.g. 'Mac OS X Server 10.6.3 ISO.dmg'. Leave Image Format with the default setting of compressed.
Wait for the image to be created and then eject the original DVD
Archive/backup the 'Mac OS X Server 10.6.3 ISO.dmg' disc image that you just created
Purchase/install/update your preferred virtualisation software
Make sure you have plenty of free hard disk space (a basic 10.6 Server install is about 8.5GB before your own applications and you'll need at least twice that if you need to clone it for multiple installations), so we recommend at least 25GB of free space
Make sure your actual, physical Mac has a working internet connection e.g. use a web browser to go to https://www.apple.com and see if you can view a web page
Create a dedicated folder to share files/documents with the virtual environment e.g. in your Documents folder create a folder titled '106SharedFolder' Instructions for installing Mac OS X 10.6 Server with: Parallels Desktop v9 (or later) Instructions
Open Parallels
Go to File menu New
Click on 'Install Windows or another OS from a DVD or image file' and click Continue
Click on 'Image File'
Drag your Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD ISO image file to the area in the window
Click Continue to begin installing Mac OS X
Name your virtual machine e.g. 'Mac OS X 10.6 Server'
Tick the 'Customize settings before installation' option
Choose your required custom settings. We recommend:
General CPUs and Memory e.g. 2 CPUs and 4GB RAM)
Options Sharing - for best security set 'Share Folders' to 'None', untick 'SmartMount' 'Map mac volumes to virtual Machine and click 'Custom Folders' and add your dedicated shared folder e.g. in your Documents '106SharedFolder' (as per the preparation section above)
Hardware Video Video memory - the more memory assigned the higher the resolution available for the virtual environment
Hardware Network 1 Type Bridged Network: 'Built-in Ethernet' - the virtual environment will use your physical Mac's Ethernet network configuration
Security Time Machine Do not back up virtual machine
Close settings window and click 'Continue'
The virtual machine will reboot to the OS X Server install disc (Apple logo + whirling wheel underneath)
Follow the on screen instructions
At the Install Mac OS X Server screen, click 'Customize' in the bottom left and select custom options as required, specifically tick 'Rosetta' and 'QuickTime 7'. Only tick 'Langauge Translations' or 'X11' if you specifically need them otherwise you are just wasting space. No need to tick 'Printer Support' as it's a virtual environment and if drivers are needed OS X will automatically download and install the latest driver versions as required.
After the installation completes and the virtual machine reboots please be patient, especially with any black screens - everything is slightly slower in a virtual environment
At the Welcome screen follow the on screen instructions NOTE : If 10.6 Server needs to be installed on multiple Macs using different serial numbers that you have no control over make a copy or clone of the virtual machine before entering the serial number:
In Parallels 'Shut down' the virtual machine and choose shut down again to force the Mac to shut down if necessary
In the Finder go to the Parallels virtual machine folder (usually Macintosh HD Users your home directory Documents Parallels)

Don't use Apple Safari as it is no longer updated and thus it is not secure - use a supported web browser e.g. Roccat or TenFourFox
Don't use Apple Mail as it is no longer updated and thus it is not secure (unless you are running this virtual Mac specifically to run Eudora use a mail client in your primary OS instead)
Don't install unsupported web plug-ins and disable old plugins:
Go to 106 Server HD (or whatever you have named the virtual hard disk) Library
If there is no folder named 'Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)', create a new folder named that
Open the 'Internet Plug-Ins' folder and move all the items in it to the 'Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)' folder NOTE : To move the files you will need to authenticate as an administrator of the computer.
Restart the virtual machine (go to Apple menu Restart) Mac Os For Pc Snow Leopard Mac General Notes

That combo provides a sizable content boost to most modes with minimal deviation from stock army-on-army gameplay, but plenty more choices await your consideration in this gallery. As a rule of thumb, keep the 1.3 update installed when configuring mods, as many of them wont work without it. Server and not the client version. This is a legal requirement by Apple.You are legally allowed to virtualise the server version but not the normal, client version. Mac Os X Install Snow Leopard
This article deals with setting up/installing a virtual machine with Mac OS X 10.6 clean/from scratch. If you would like to transfer an existing Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 to a virtual machine, or take a Mac OS X 10.6 bootable storage device/clone/disk image and convert it into a virtual machine please see this article instead. Virtualisation Software
Parallels Desktop [69.99 inc VAT - 14 day free trial available]
VMWare Fusion [70.00 inc VAT - 30 day free trial available]
Oracle VirtualBox [FREE - Open source under GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2] Instructions Some people have reported that if you have a very modern Macintosh computer (one released well after Mac OS X 10.6 existed) it is not easy/possible to install to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server in a virtual environment. We're looking into that and will update this article with more information when we have it. We'll test with other Macs as and when we can and update this article accordingly. For this article we have tested using the following Macs:
MacBook Pro 15' (Early 2011 model - MacBookPro8,2) [released after 10.6.3]
Mac mini (Late 2012 model - Macmini6,2) [released after 10.6.3] If you do have an older Mac that should support Mac OS X 10.6 but get an error message along the lines of 'Mac OS virtual machines can run only on computers having Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5.1 or higher) or Mac OS X Tiger (version 10.4.11 or higher) installed' specifically listing 'Problem ID: 397' then follow Parallel's instructions here and try again. Preparation NOTE : You will need a Mac with a physical, optical drive to create an ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD. This does not need to be the Mac you ultimately install the virtual machine on, you just need a Mac with an optical drive to create the ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD in the first place.
Obtain your preferred virtualisation software (see list above)
Obtain the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install disc:
If you don't have one, it is available by calling the Apple Store (in the UK 0800 048 0408) - you cannot buy it via the Apple online store
You need part number 'MC588Z/A' which is specifically 'Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Server Unlimited Clients Single Licence International' (14.00 inc VAT in the UK) - not the normal client edition (part number MC573Z/A)
Create an ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD:
Go to Macintosh HD Applications Utilities Disk Utility
Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD
In Disk Utility, in the top left, click on the icon for the optical drive not the indented line for the disc volume
Go to File menu New Disk Image from device name , where device name is the OS name of your optical drive e.g. disk1
In the save dialogue box enter a suitable filename e.g. 'Mac OS X Server 10.6.3 ISO.dmg'. Leave Image Format with the default setting of compressed.
Wait for the image to be created and then eject the original DVD
Archive/backup the 'Mac OS X Server 10.6.3 ISO.dmg' disc image that you just created
Purchase/install/update your preferred virtualisation software
Make sure you have plenty of free hard disk space (a basic 10.6 Server install is about 8.5GB before your own applications and you'll need at least twice that if you need to clone it for multiple installations), so we recommend at least 25GB of free space
Make sure your actual, physical Mac has a working internet connection e.g. use a web browser to go to https://www.apple.com and see if you can view a web page
Create a dedicated folder to share files/documents with the virtual environment e.g. in your Documents folder create a folder titled '106SharedFolder' Instructions for installing Mac OS X 10.6 Server with: Parallels Desktop v9 (or later) Instructions
Open Parallels
Go to File menu New
Click on 'Install Windows or another OS from a DVD or image file' and click Continue
Click on 'Image File'
Drag your Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD ISO image file to the area in the window
Click Continue to begin installing Mac OS X
Name your virtual machine e.g. 'Mac OS X 10.6 Server'
Tick the 'Customize settings before installation' option
Choose your required custom settings. We recommend:
General CPUs and Memory e.g. 2 CPUs and 4GB RAM)
Options Sharing - for best security set 'Share Folders' to 'None', untick 'SmartMount' 'Map mac volumes to virtual Machine and click 'Custom Folders' and add your dedicated shared folder e.g. in your Documents '106SharedFolder' (as per the preparation section above)
Hardware Video Video memory - the more memory assigned the higher the resolution available for the virtual environment
Hardware Network 1 Type Bridged Network: 'Built-in Ethernet' - the virtual environment will use your physical Mac's Ethernet network configuration
Security Time Machine Do not back up virtual machine
Close settings window and click 'Continue'
The virtual machine will reboot to the OS X Server install disc (Apple logo + whirling wheel underneath)
Follow the on screen instructions
At the Install Mac OS X Server screen, click 'Customize' in the bottom left and select custom options as required, specifically tick 'Rosetta' and 'QuickTime 7'. Only tick 'Langauge Translations' or 'X11' if you specifically need them otherwise you are just wasting space. No need to tick 'Printer Support' as it's a virtual environment and if drivers are needed OS X will automatically download and install the latest driver versions as required.
After the installation completes and the virtual machine reboots please be patient, especially with any black screens - everything is slightly slower in a virtual environment
At the Welcome screen follow the on screen instructions NOTE : If 10.6 Server needs to be installed on multiple Macs using different serial numbers that you have no control over make a copy or clone of the virtual machine before entering the serial number:
In Parallels 'Shut down' the virtual machine and choose shut down again to force the Mac to shut down if necessary
In the Finder go to the Parallels virtual machine folder (usually Macintosh HD Users your home directory Documents Parallels)

Don't use Apple Safari as it is no longer updated and thus it is not secure - use a supported web browser e.g. Roccat or TenFourFox
Don't use Apple Mail as it is no longer updated and thus it is not secure (unless you are running this virtual Mac specifically to run Eudora use a mail client in your primary OS instead)
Don't install unsupported web plug-ins and disable old plugins:
Go to 106 Server HD (or whatever you have named the virtual hard disk) Library
If there is no folder named 'Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)', create a new folder named that
Open the 'Internet Plug-Ins' folder and move all the items in it to the 'Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)' folder NOTE : To move the files you will need to authenticate as an administrator of the computer.
Restart the virtual machine (go to Apple menu Restart) Mac Os For Pc Snow Leopard Mac General Notes
