You could use Virtual PC .. but umm i dont know if you could play PC games as smooth as in PC .. I guess most of the games that come out now have a MAC version to it. Like Warcraft, Doom, NFS etc ... Regards Dhanesh.

If you get the Intel-based Macs, it is said that it could run Windows on the Mac. Yet, I could be wrong. xboxrulz

QUOTE The problem is that any windows games that have more than basic grathix cant play on mac because mac uses open GL and windows dosn't Windows does use OpenGL. It depends on the game ... whether it is compatible with openGL or directX. QUOTE You could use Virtual PC .. but umm i dont know if you could play PC games as smooth as in PC Nope, in all probability, games won't work in Virtual PC. I've tried it out in VMWare, but they just wouldn't work. Your best bet would be, as Dhanesh said, to get the games with native Mac support.

The new dual-processor macs can in fact install a full windows program on the mac, now this also opens you up to all the vulnarabilities of the windows system as well, so I've yet to go that far.

Play mac games on the PC? May I ask to which games you could be possibly referring to then? Super breakout, super breakout 2 and zork aren't really worthwhile to play on PC. As for the other games I'm sure they are ports from their respective PC versions or not as noteworthy at the very least.

You would really have to specify exactly what games and its developer. Since many developers make games, they usually all make them differently. Some games are more adaptable than other, some are less stable, some are more stable, etc. It would really be helpful if you would specify what you are trying to port from Windows or Mac. (Then there are some that just aren't worth the effort)

You just use BootCamp to dual boot into Windows. Simple as that. xboxrulz

iGuest, you can play any games your graphics card could support in Boot Camp since it's just a dual booting utility. It will NOT slow down your machine since your system is running at native speed. As for War'ru, how old is your Mac/what Mac do you have? You haven't specified. xboxrulz

How To Play Mac Games On Windows And Vice-versa
Replying to nhlgoalie2003 I was thinking. If you installed Windows XP through Bootcamp, couldn't you install the corresponding drivers for DirectX on your Windows partition? Or is the problem with the hardware?

Will Using Fdisk Corrupt Windows Partition?
(9) I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise
Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,....

The Best Version Of Windows

this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and

Rhino Games Offers Best Trade Deals Imo

UMD. My goal was to get Madden 06 purely on trade, without any cash paid (which means I need
$50 of credit), and keep as much as I could of what I had. The movies were more important
though because I had beaten the games. I first went to EBGames in my mall and for all fou....
