How do I get my program to work for mac because it reads app's instead of exe's is there a long complicated way or do I just change it from .exe to .app?

DarkBasic Programs require DirectX, which as far as I know, is NOT on Mac, so you cant play them on a Mac. I believe, however, that there is a windows emulator that would work, but i am not sure.

the binaries are different so you just cant change the name.

virtualpc will emulate it at around 40 - 75% speed depending on what machine and version you have.

a windows disc may be required for older versions.
