Your video card is below the minimally required OpenGL version.

It may work on older versions because they are less efficient and used older features. As of the GLSL rewrite, the standards and features used increased greatly.

that really is a bummer to hear. what is required? I know my mac can run pretty much anything. any chance of a backward compatible version? or else I have to get modded wii that can play these gamecube games well. or a gamecube… the resolution isn't as important as the game.
thanks for any help and steering me in the right direction.

and if not, which version had the best performance for my machine?
3.5 works so is there a revision above I should use to get better performance in Fzero and Rogue Leader?
