I really want to play the Elastomania BMF Chris kindly posted up on my Mac, but it wont read the Elma or Exe files.

Does anyone out there know what I need to download to get my POS mac to run this game??

I have had a good look around download.com, searched for patches for this game etc, but can't find anything.
Any help would be thuper!!

those are two different things, a Macbook has an intel processor. On that it would be easier since you can run Windows on it.

On a G4 iBook, you'll have to use some sort of emulation software, as far as I know. Microsoft still makes virtual PC I believe, but you can also try http://darwine.opendarwin.org/index.php

Then I believe virtual PC is your only option.

I have gotten it off of acquisition, but had to find a windows key code, you know the 25 digit one, on the web. That part sucked to get.

If you use acquisition (P2P) you can find it there.

To get the code/ serial number for the virtual PC not the windows xp part, go to serial box or serial seeker on google and it will give you any code you will ever need for mac.

True. I didn't mean to split hairs, but the G4 vs Intel is an important distinction, since with an Intel it's a trivial problem. With the G4 it's not so trivial.

Just use Parallels. That will definitely work. Virtual PC was always really slow and buggy. Parallels works damned well.
