    eMac g4: games are not playing smoothly

    I’m trying to play some games on the 2005 eMac 1.42ghz model, and they drop to less than 30 FPS One example is The Sims Complete Collection. At random times it’ll freeze for half a second.

    Ancient gaming quest: Unreal and Unreal Tournament on Mac Os X 10.4.11

    Hi all, I am on this nostalgia trip and I want to run my beloved Unreal and Unreal Tournament on a G4 emac. The versions I bought on GOG are clearly useless, my original cds from the 1998/1999 leave me with a classic only executable and that is far from optimal on a machine (1.25 ghz eMac) that...

    I've always used custom built Windows PCs however I'm considering purchasing a Macbook Pro in the near future. Since I use an iPhone and iPad I really can't foresee any workflow issues except one thing: gaming. I'm not a hardcore gamer but here's my more nuanced thought process/questions...

    Facinating behaviors of M1 GPU

    I'm observing the behaviors while gaming on the M1 and it's so fascinating to see the artifacts of how the GPU works. Couple interesting observations: Checker pattern in layers rendered (clearly the chunked behavior) and some artifact of the game not knowing the framebuffer is not one large...

In other words, I would like to do...

    Is my reasoning to get 8gb air flawed?

    I need the Mac for office work and light gaming. I mostly play games like terraria, rimworld and factorio. They all work fine on my 8gb Windows machine. The air is not a gaming pc but it can run older games and 2D games decently. Why get 16? It won’t run newer games, apps like office will be...

    This is huuge! 32bit Windows apps on M1 Macs. (spoiler: even Witcher 3)?!

    Needs Big Sur 11.1 beta "I can't tell you how cool that is; there is so much emulation going on under the covers. Imagine - a 32-bit Windows Intel binary, running in a 32-to-64 bridge in Wine / CrossOver on top of macOS, on an ARM CPU that is emulating x86 - and it works! This is just so cool."...

    M1 chip and Gaming on MBP

    Hi everyone, First off, yes I understand Macs are not the best for gaming unfortunately - maybe that will change now. For a game like World of Warcraft does the M1 chip with let’s say 16GB of unified memory on a 13in MBP have a better chance? also, does unified memory significantly improve the...

    iPad Games on iPad that you can control by Mouse + Keyboard?

    Hi, I was wondering, does anyone know of any games that you can control by mouse and keyboard? Like you can with first person shooters on PC. I‘ve tried call of duty but strangely enough it only supports controls via screen. I know the iPad Pro’s are more then capable at it. - Hessel
