Hey, Dadu. How are you doing? I just recently found out about this site. I've been trying to play this game for like 10 years. Anyway, first of all thanks for creating this! I'm having a problem, though. I downloaded the first program and the second after that. Everything seemed to work just fine. The Get Medieval I downloaded straight from their site got installed inside POM but every time I try to run it, it says it's not possible to run the game since Mac can't verify the source of the program downloaded from the web (cause it wasn't downloaded from a "reliable source").

The craziest thing however, it that even though he clearly states that the game can't run, It ends up running anyway if I do this: I come here on the forum, re-download the second program, and by the time it starts downloading something called XQuartz (which ends up never getting installed for some reason) the games starts to run anyway.

So my question is: Is there a way to authorize the game to run even though the system can't verify it?

Secondly, is there a way to manually download the XQuartz? I don't know what is it for but maybe if I get it, the game ends up running perhaps?

 

So many questions, but I hope we can solve this. Thanks in advance.

 

Shaw.
