I'm not really into gaming much, but I have played Racer before and I like it! Does anyone know if this works okay with a new Mac Mini (I don't have one yet  ) ? 
http://www.racer.nl/
On the Mac OS X page it states one of the requirements is "A 3D card. Software rendering is not fast enough."
The latest downloads are on the Beta page:

Well with some time I've got Racer working pretty good!
Firstly, download the latest 0.5.3 beta 1.5 version at:
http://www.racer.nl/dl_beta.htm
At first the car was uncontrollable, and the fps was around 3-4(!), but these are the tweaks I did to get it up to about 30fps:
Disable joystick in data/controls/default.ini to use the mouse as the controller:
| Code: | joystick
{
enable=0 |
The following are edited in racer.ini:
Turn off rear-view mirror:
| Code: | mirrors
{
simple
{
enable=0 |
Hide the console:
Enlarge window:
| Code: | resolution
{
width=1024
height=768 |
Change the integration time to 2 - helps with poor frame-rates:
| Code: | timing
{
integration_time=2 |
Textures to 1/4 quality:
| Code: | textures
{
enable=1
quality=4 |
You have to search manually and replace the settings - there are lots of them!
I'm interested if anyone else plays or would like to give the game a go, as hopefully we can share tips/tweaks/settings!
