Is there any way to play old PC games on my Mac?

I have some old PC games that I am wanting to play, is there anyway to do this on a mac?

Virtual machines are a potential option... it depends on the types of "old games" you wish to play.  Once in a while I'll play some old Space Quest games which have nearly no animation.  If you're looking to play any games that require 3D graphics... even ones that are years old... as cbs20 indicated, they won't perform well in a virtual environment.

  • Is there any way to play all files in a directory by one url?

    Hi all,
    I am testing fms this days, I have put all my files(such as 1.mp3,2.mp3...n.mp3) in my directory.
    I can play single file fine with url like this:
    rtmp://localhost/mp3/mp3:x/2
    but i want to know is there any way to play all files in my direcotry?
    for example, user click the play button, the player(smp) automatic plays all files in the directory, link windows media server.
    Should I use playlist? Or there is another better way?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    FMS do not directly take a directory to play files, the file names have to be fetched some way (through script if needed) to make a playlist and then the play command needs to be repeated as many times.
    Thank you !

  • Are there any way to play movie from hard disc uploaded with java player?

    I found quicktime player can export the movie as webpage versions, uses java to play the movie instead of quicktime player.
    How can I do the same with iweb? From the webpage which quicktime generated said should insert some code to the head of page and something else, but how do I insert those codes to the page I create with iweb?
    It said :
    "To make your media viewable on the Internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessible server.
    The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
    The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (carsmoke.mov) rather than a source movie.
    The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
    Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
    Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag."
    Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
    Use this code in the <body> of your web page:
    " <<a href="carsmoke.mov" rel="qtposter">
    <<img src="xxx.jpg" width="120" height="50" />
    <</a> "
    (I put < into << so it will not execute in this page...)
    How to do these with iweb?

  • Is there any way to recover old messages on iMessage?

    Is there any way to recover old messages received on iMessage?

    Hi,
    No.
    If you have several Devices such as an iPad and iPhone and Mac you may find that an older Conversation will sync several days after the iMessages were sent.
    I happened to have been away from my computer over a weekend.
    I iMessaged my wife from my iPhone whilst on a hotel Wifi.
    These were synced when I turned on the Computer and launched Messages.
    This was only a relatively short period of just over 24 hours.
    I have not tested for longer.
    I suspect there may be a 48 hour limit.

  • Hello there, is there any way i can log onto Game Center via just my Username as i have forgotten the other details (I made the account when i was 11 - I'm now 14 and have a bad memory)

    The Question says it all really.
    Is there any way i can log onto Game Center via just my Username as i have forgotten the other details (I made the account when i was 11 - I'm now 14 and have a bad memory)?
    I remember my Username on Gamcenter but due to the recent update of iOS7, it is only letting me Sign in through my APPLE ID - which i have forgotten over time. I wish to recover my account recently because I remember purchasing Gems on the game 'Clash of Clans' and I wish I could restart playing the game.
    Many thanks for taking your time to read and answer this question.
    -Gavin Chong.

    Hey xChongy!
    I have an article here that can help you find that forgotten Apple ID:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    i have read up on all about crashes and i cant even open it in safe mode :( i have tried deleting it and reinstalling it but the problem still persists. What would you suggest i do and is there any way i canget hold of firefox 6 for mac?

    Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • ITunes purchased songs: is there any way to play them on a non apple produc

    So I have an iPod. I have many songs purchased from iTunes. I have a Verizon wireless cellphone with Vcast. This plays music using Windows Media Player (WMP). Is there any way on God's gree earth to import my purchased songs into WMP so I can place them on my phone. I understand this is why the iPhone was created, but I don't have that kinda money and I like Verizon. Please help, anyone. Is there software I can buy to convert these songs. Anything please.

    I was not offended. I was not trying to seem overbearing either. I was not suggesting you had any criminal intent.
    You can burn iTunes purchased music to CD. It is the process of changing the format of that purchased, whether to use it on another player or to thwart the encoded DRM-protection that Apple discourages.
    It is that process of converting DRM-protected music that we can not help you with here.

  • Is there any way to recover old text messages after update

    When i updated my new iPhone OS to the new system, i had to end up doing a restore. This wiped out all my info and while i have a backup on the computer. I can seem to find a way to recover old text messages via the iMessage platform. Is there any way to recover some of those old conversations? Some have sentimental value to them.

    I just need the last month of texts and I had not backed up for several months.

  • Is there any way for play/stop to NOT apply to the metronome? [mainstage 2]

    I have EXS24 samplers triggered by drum pads, but like to be able to set one pad to [Play/Stop] so I can stop the samples on the fly. (in case I make a mistake or something) Problem is, I want to send the metronome to my drummer (via a different output on my interface) but I DON'T want [Play/Stop] to stop the click. Is there any way to get better control of the metronome? Does anyone with mainstage 3 know if this is an option? Can I re-wire it with logic 9 and run a click out of logic? Can't seem to get mainstage and logic to work together... Just need my click to run independently.

    What you may try is to replicate your base map but take the point theme out of its definition. Then create a second tile layer for the new base map. You can add both tile layers to the client (but set only one of them to be visible). Then simply switch the tile layers' visibility on/off based on user turning on/off the point theme. The built-in Oracle Maps tutorial #22 (Multiple Base maps) has some sample code you might be able to re-use.
    thanks

  • Is there any way to play 1080p videos on the iPad with Retina Display without watching in full screen?

    When I watch 1080p videos from iTunes on my iPad, they are stretched to fit the whole screen (with black borders) even though there aren't enough pixels in the video. This means that the videos are not crisp as one would expect on a retina display, but slightly blurry, as they are not pixel perfect. Is there any way to make the video smaller? Or does anybody know any 3rd-party apps which can do this?

    There isn't as far as I can find - I've had a play around and can't find any way.
