Basically, I've used rEFIt (if you don't know what that is, don't post) to boot 3 OSs on my MacBook Pro. I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but I'm worried if it will have an EFI update. And if it does, could that mess up rEFIt and my triple boot?

Also, does anyone know if there are any dirvers for Linux to use with my new 13" MBP? I can't even get the trackpad working, never mind the webcam, wifi, backlit keyboard, half the keys, the graphics card etc etc.

You'd think so, but I didn't

I might be able to help you. I don't have rEFIt installed but I am running Snow Leopard on my 2.53GHz 13" MBP. According to System Profiler, my Boot ROM Version is MBP55.00AC.B03. If this is newer than yours then Snow Leopard might have done a firmware update.

    @SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
