LANparty probs ( windows – mac)

August 5th, 2016

Hi,
thanks for checking this. I have got a problem when i throw lanparties with friends at my house.. Being that half of the guys have a mac and the other half has got windows, which doesnt allow us to play some games. ( like age of empires3, bf 2142, ..)
Is there some sort of app that gives full compatibility?
I already tried google, but it didnt help me much further.
Thanks in advance!

Answer #1
sorry i wouldn’t know ive never tried to lanparty with a mac only PC =3
Answer #2
I don’t know about a lan party with PC + Mac but you could turn the most stable computer (a desktop would be best) into a game server.
You could connect to the server and play?
Answer #3
If the Macs are Intel based ones try installing Windows on them.

Do you think an ordinary macbook would qualify?

Well, that only works for games like cod2 or css that seem to be compatible with both OS

Google bootcamp tutorials for instructions to install XP on Macs.
