Fallout 1 (and Fallout 2) Hi-Res Patch for Mac OS X

Fallout 1 was originally designed to run at 640x480 resolution. I wanted to run the Mac OS X version of Fallout on my MacBook 11", which has a 1366x768 display. There is a [high resolution patch][hi-res], but it only supports the Windows version of Fallout.

Turns out that the OS X version of Fallout runs through Wine, so we can get this patch working with just a few configuration changes:

Note for Fallout 2 users: The process for Fallout 2 is essentially the same, with a different patch, and some minor pathing differences. Other than that, the process is exactly the same!

I had trouble getting Steam's version of Fallout 3 to work on my MacBook Pro in Windows. The main menu would start, but the game would crash after I clicked "play", just before the intro movie.

Turns out the issue was related to my MacBook's Intel graphics chipset, an Intel Iris Graphics 5100. To get FO3 to work, I was able to use the Intel HD Graphics Bypass package to trick FO3 into thinking it's running on an Nvidia chipset.

If you're running an Intel graphics chipset, and can't get FO3 to run, this fix may work for you too:

1. Manually download and extract the Intel HD Graphics Bypass Package
2. Copy d3d9x.dll --> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3\
3. (Optional) Create a backup copy of C:\users\$USERNAME\Documents\my games\Fallout3\FALLOUT.ini
4. Copy FALLOUT.INI --> C:\users\$USERNAME\Documents\my games\Fallout3\
