D2X for MacOS X features:
- SDL / OpenGL graphics
- Multiplayer LAN is included, but not supported
- iTunes playlist support (background music)

What's new in this version:

- Includes physfs - not used yet
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

- Mac OS X 10.2
Additional Requirements:

higher resolutions do not add much detail - IMHO

This is a great port that shows why Descent is still a fabulous game. Is there a possibility to get more frequent builds? I'm sure the code on CVS is newer, but it's a hassle to have to build it myself.
There's one bug tho. Sometimes the app quits because of a texture overflow. A bit vague, but that's the console message. I guess some textures weren't released?

I've been using d2x for a long time now. Love the old descent games. It's a good quality port to OS X. For those of you calling it a ploy to try to get people to buy the game think of it more like an update for those of us who already have it :-). The only thing I would put on the wishlist is support for audio CD's without going through iTunes. iTunes is a bulky app and kills my 600MHz iBook. I'd love to be able to play D2X on the iBook with music enabled and not have it grind to a hault. But that's me being whiney :-). Good work guys. Keep it up. Thanks for the many more hours of killed time!
I booted off another internal drive that still has 10.4.2 and the same game install runs fine so it definitly has something to do with 10.3.4
