Author Topic: Is there a decent application that will let me run .exe files? (Read 1820 times)

I'm on a mac, I have Crossover, but it is a piece of stuff and won't run games with game files stored outside the exe (figures).
Is there any program that lets me run games? I don't have Windows yet so I can't use Boot Camp.
Help please?

Stop being prejudice.
also he already stated he doesn't particularly want to pay for anything so that statement is useless either way.

I don't really know much about this but maybe Wine can run exe.s

If you do have to go with Wine, make sure you also try Darwine. I couldn't get IWBTG working for the longest time when i had my mac and then i tried Darwine and it worked. it doesnt work with all programs, but neither does Wine. just a tip.

Not buying anything atm, but that would be the smartest way to do it.

I didn't find anything besides legit wine coolers.
Tomorrow I'll search for it I guess.

ITT: It is hard to run .exe's on a mac. Trust me, going through all that crap is a waste of time and space.
