Hi i was hopeing someone can help..
I have some old games that i cant get to run on the Mac Mini as not compatible. ( Trackmania, Trials 2) only 2 games i have.

Would you recommend XP or 7 to run these as i wont play them much just every now and then.?

Thanks for your help.

You could try Dosbox. I've seen where people get Windows apps running with it in OS X. Plus it's cheaper than XP or 7!

Just adding to what Smithy has pointed out; there are other emulator possibilities out there that you might like to investigate as well.

Also you might get some joy out of Reactos.

There is a Wiki page for TrackMania

As well as a community forum via the TrackMania site.

They may be able to give you advice as well.

As for Trials 2.

It seems you can play it on line.
