Hey Francisco. Unfortunately, you can only play games in the Playroom with a
PC. Hopefully, since I think the Playroom is developed by the same guy that did
RS Games, maybe there will be versions of it for other OS's but for now it's
only available for Windows. Have you tried RS Games? HTH.

You can also switch it on and off via VO HH, the commands help menu

Hi,
I'd just like to add, if you are using a macbook turning on screen curtain does
not conserve battery life. If this is your main goal as well as privacy dim
your screen to 0% by pressing function plus F1. To brighten press function
plus F2. at 0% your screen will be completely off.

I would say, go for fusion, not parallells. Parallels is not as accessible to

Right, the command to creat a new library, or choose an existing one,

More than likely, when you are doing option-I, it is recognizing the

Don't worry about the version of fusion. You can update any time by going into
