I've got this portable Minecraft launcher. It's mine, meaning I made it. I used to distribute it until it started comming up as a virus. I was re-writting it, but I've gotten lazy. I am really close to finishing it--
Ahh sorry. Not the point.
Basically, I plugged my flash drive into a computer at school.
Ok.
I open up Minecraft with my launcher and log in. It loads, then closes.
*Maybe it's my launcher?
I copy the Minecraft.exe onto the desktop and run it locally. The same thing happens.
After running around on the interwebs, I found that THE GRAPHICS CARD WAS ANCIENT.
Intel Radon X6000 or something like that.
A computer graphics class. With a horrible graphics card. '_'
*And yet Halo and GTA run just fine.
Whatever. So I'm scrambling around on the internet trying to find ways. I'm an addict, and I search for about half a year. (Only started comp graphics this year.)
There are viable solutions on there, but they require administrator privileges.
Yes, you can use MESA.
For your convenience, I've compiled it in both 32- and 64bit at: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9496269/mesa.zip Simply put them where you .exe file is located.
Now, I haven't gotten the chance to test this on the school computer, but I HAVE tried it at home.
It appears to work. Granted, my graphics card at home can support OpenGl, but when I place the dll from the mesa download into the same folder as Minecraft.exe and run it, it seems to run slower.
*However, it is STILL PLAYABLE.
I am very excited and am posting to see if anyone else could try this?
I haven't personally tried it, but great job. And Halo and GTA? Err, as you didn't specify, I'm going to assume you mean the first GTA and Halo:Combat Evolved, which are both pretty old too.

Correct and correct. I mean I just figured that they'd be more graphics intensive. I plan on trying this theory out tomorrow. Can't wait!
Now, I'm not giving up yet, because I read through the error files that the computer created, and it turns out that it wasn't loading minecraft with the OpenGL32.dll that I have placed next to it. Instead, it was still using the OpenGl32.dll from system32.
Does anyone know how to run an exe and also include a .dll? I know that usually if you drop the .dll in the same folder as the program, that the program will load the .dll in the same folder as it first.
But if there is like a command line or something like that. The above didn't work for me.
Because the errors kept showing that i was using the system's OpenGl. And that's not what I want.
I got the files to work... it's an iffy process, but put the two .dll files stright into window's system32 folder. (back up the old one(s) first though.) Then it worked.
I haven't actually compiled it on the system, but I did get pre-compiled dlls.
They did not work however.
I think for now, I'm going to give up lol.
It's infinitely easier to simply get a graphics card or computer with OpenGl support
(I got my comp used for $47 and it runs Minecraft beautifully lol. <3 Ebay.)
So that's that. If anyone else wants to try and contribute to see if this would work, then by all means continue. But as for me, I think I'm good ha ha.
Hey it works!
Just put the Files(x86 win32 files) were the exe is or with the exe in tne .minecraft folder.
Then start minecraft.exe in Windows 2000 combability on properties.
The link is dead! Please help! My graphic card driver isnt compatible with my Windows (Windows 8.1) and, of course, OpenGL gives me problems! Actually I think OpenGL is not on my computer, or simply does not work. So is it possible to "bypass" OpenGL with "mesa"?
This allowed me to run the game in Safe Mode <3
It runs at 1-5 FPS tho..
Is it the latest version?
Maybe the latest, which is 10.5.1 could make some performance tweaks, can someone compile it? ..

I am very eager to know.
minecraft REQUIRES opengl its a rendering system that it runs off of and therefore can not run unless you have opengl and accelerated graphics support. if you dont have it then you dont have minmecraft. unless youre able to change its rendering system to directx then MAYBE but ive never seen that tried or done before. so , no opengl = no minecraft.
think of directx and opengl as intel and amd. they are two different rendering systems all on their own wether a game is more graphic instensive or not doesnt matter its just how a game runs some run graphics heavy others run cpu heavy some play on directx other opengl. thats why yoiu run into issues like this. its your hardware so unless you update it change it get new stuff it will be broken.

Great.
And then today, I found mesa.

Ah. Usually when I joke about that kind of thing I end up wrong.
Didn't realize you were joking '_'
The good news:
I got to try it out today.
The bad news:
It didn't work.

Sure. Once I get the time.

the earth first! we can strip mine the rest of the universe after. click the up arrow if i helped.
yeah! although this one worked for me: https://fdossena.com/?p=mesa/index.frag
just replace it with the one on C:\windows\system32
