GTA San Andreas on Mac

[d***@googlemail.com]

Have just installed the above - on my Intel iMac running OS 10.5 etc.

Works ok except having problems with keyboard control. For example,
just started the game and one of the first missions is to get a
haircut. Told to select haircut with arrow keys and then view it
using the space bar. But when I hit the space bar nothing happens.

Anyone have any idea what the cause of this might be?

Thanks,

AS.

Have you changed the default keyboard mappings?

Does a handbrake turn work? (handbrake = space)

Thanks - no, haven't changed default settings. Handbrake turn doesn't
seem to work. When driving, space bar seems to just apply brakes or
engage reverse gear.

Also unable to jump (left shift key) when on foot.

Could be a problem with PC to Mac conversion? Quite a few glitches
with the graphics as well.
