Buying FBB software
I've never actually had the software before but was curious about some inner workings. For those that have purchased it, where did you get it from? Can I download and run it off a MacBook? Thanks

Re: Buying FBB software
The original website is toast, so you'll have to download it off of a 3rd party site probably with bloatware so decline those. Gave bucks a link to it a while back.
As for buying it, it was through crap E-License that was popular then. I believe you get 2 codes to register it, and have to deregister it from one of those 2 devices before you can install it through a 3rd. I imagine using the e-license purchase option still works though I'm not certain.
There was a crack back when it was more popular, but I don't have it and don't have a link to it. I looked for it a while back to no avail. I do know someone that had it fairly recently so I can check with them and see if you want, since I already know you're morally corrupt.
Macbook probably not natively. This is a 2001 game from a very small developer. If there's something like Wine (Linux) for Mac, that'd be your best bet outside of dual booting.

Since it's a very light program, you can also look into a virtual machine so you can run windows inside of Mac.

Latest was 2.4.3, but it was a super small change from 2.4.1 that was inconsequential. So basically the sameduckyoubeavers wrote:i downloaded it from here: https://download.cnet.com/Fast-Break-Ba ... 67216.html

Re: Buying FBB software
Not sure if you can use it on a Mac. I figured you needed a PC since it says it’s available just for windows.
As far as buying the program, nope. I tried everything.

Re: Buying FBB software
Hmm
Appreciate all the responses. I don’t want to download windows for max just for the software though. I might still try tonight when I get home though and see

Re: Buying FBB software
The main issues is the game is abandonware at this point.

Heavy reign should just open source everything if he isn’t making anymore money.

Heck I’d be willing to zelle him the money if I could get the game on new pc. Would be cheaper than fixing old pcUOducksTK1 wrote:Heavy reign should just open source everything if he isn’t making anymore money.

Re: Buying FBB software
I now no longer have any idea what is being discussed lol
VM, randomware etc
TK, I'll just bring my computer next month when I see you and maybe we can figure something out.
