To enable higher screen resolutions, edit the file "/Users/user name/Documents/Dungeon Siege/DungeonSiege.ini" and add the line "allow_unsupported_resolutions = 1". Then, start Dungeon Siege, go to the Options window, and click the Video tab to adjust the game resolution.

SetKbd 1.1
SetKbd forces the system layout to be the one WE choose more>>
This is a recurring problem of OS X, since 10.0 and still not solved; it generally happens when one of your "Startup Items" (applications that are launched automatically at startup; e.g. antivirus, support software for scanners, multifunction printers, graphic tablets, fax, etc.) does not support our language and so it forces the system to set the keyboard layout it prefers (but we do not). Often this problem does not happen on every startup, but randomly.
As I stepped into this problem too, and having followed all suggestions found here and there on the net with no permanent success, I wrote SetKbd.
SetKbd forces the system layout to be the one WE choose, independently from what the other startup items ask.
Enhancements:
- Added startup delay.
- Now you can call the Preference window pressing the command (apple) key at SetKbd startup.

Crazy-8 1.0.7
Crazy-8 - CHIP8 emulator for Mac more>>
CHIP8, as it turns out, was a language/virtual machine for computers so old that they outpace me by about 20 years. Freaking ancient. The interesting thing about it was that the programmer would write in the CHIP8 language and then could deploy the compiled program to more than one platform. The machines that I know of that had a CHIP8 interpreter were the TELMAC-1800 (1978) and COSMAC VIP (The COSMAC itself was a rather interesting little thing, dating back to 1977 - VIP stood for Video Interface Processor)
Crazy-8 will read any CHIP8 or SCHIP48 file and play it for you on your Mac. It supports full sound. It supports freeze and defrost. OpenGL mode is disabled currently due to some difficulty supporting it in the language I wrote the emulator in.
Crazy-8 will bring you back to the good old days with the supplied games and you can even peek at the source code. In the end its a novelty of the computing world, but amusing none the less.
You cant say I didnt teach you something today. No go back to your myopic American lifestyle!
