nathenmcvittie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Just copy it from the My Documents/Sports Interactive/games/ folder on your PC to <username>/documents/Sports Interactive/games/ Exactly the same file format. Should just work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrodods Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 So can put it on a memory stick from my PC > put it on my mac? and it should work? I tried it before and it said 'this format is not compatible' mmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathenmcvittie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yep! I do it often between OS X and Windows on my Mac through bootcamp. I've never had a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathenmcvittie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 You can run Windows on a Mac. http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is/compatibility.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 You don't need to run bootcamp. FM will play on the Mac. And the files are cross platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrodods Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 last Q but say if i send the game via email from my pc - and open the attatchment on my mac, and put the downloaded file in the 'games' file - will it work? if not what procedure should i follow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathenmcvittie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Eugene is correct.. I run FM on my Mac natively 99% of the time. Rarely use Windows, but sometimes I used to before FMRTE was available for OS X. Bootcamp just something that is built into a Mac. You need a copy of Windows to install though.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 22, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2011 As long as you're running the same version (patched up on both to the same) then just find the file via FM and it'll load. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathenmcvittie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It should work - yes. Although I think that's a fairly large file to email, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Try getting www.dropbox.com Install on the PC and on the Mac You can then save your file here. And it will transfer the file automagically. If you're feeling generous you can use this link, it's an invite by me to use dropbox, by inviting people and they accept it increases the size of my dropbox folder limit. If you invite people to use it, you can increase your limit. http://db.tt/OhYYiLK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantralux Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 If your USB stick says it's not the correct file format, that means that your USB stick is formatted in either NTFS (Windows) or Mac OS Extended (OS X). In order to read a USB stick in both Windows and OS X, you have to format it in the FAT format - that way it can be read on both Mac and PC. But, as pointed out, you could just email the file to yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 In fairness the file is huge. You probably can't email it. Cloud storage is great. Dropbox Sugarsync Box.net Memopal Amazon Cloud Drive There's loads of options. Most start at around 3GB of space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
