Halo - An entertaining space/combat FPS game
Authored by: robg on Jan 20, '04 08:00:04AM
I think that error is covered on MacSoft's website, along with a workaround:
When I run Halo on my Mac, I get a message that says that my processor is below the minimum system requirement and then the program quits. How can I bypass this?

Hold down the "P" key on the keyboard while double clicking the Halo game icon, and the game will bypass the message. This error message will also occur on some Macs that are above the minimum system requirement due to an incorrect value being returned by the hardware.

The work around sucks. It makes Halo launch in the background, and the P key being held is active in whatever program you happens to be in the foreground. Usually, this is the Finder, and it causes all sorts of annoyances.

I just want the thing to work when I click on it, not have to hold down a key each time to play it (which I usually forget to do so I have to do it multiple times before it takes it).
