[http://www.omnigroup.com Omni Group] created a Carbon (OS X-compatible) version of the game application, which is still available.

It still works on Intel-based Mac w/10.4 installed, running under Rosetta (version 1.36 can be found [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/oni.html here]). There are no significant performance issues even on an Intel Mac Mini at 1280x1024/32-bit, although there is a sound glitch that is mostly noticeable in cutscenes. One potential problem is that Oni may try to use an unsupported video setting (make sure your Display preferences do not list unsupported resolutions or refresh rates). If this happens, hit command-option-escape to force-quit Oni. DisplayConfigX can be used to disable the unsupported resolutions on your system. Also, Oni can be run in windowed mode, which means that no resolution switching will occur. See [[Customizing#noswitch|-noswitch]]. | It still works on Intel-based Mac w/10.4 installed, running under Rosetta (version 1.36 can be found [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/oni.html here]).

All of Oni's files will be found in a folder called "Oni"; the default location of this folder in Windows is C:\Program Files\ and on the Mac is /Applications/. To see the exact listing of files (useful for troubleshooting), you can explore the [[Oni (Win)|Windows]] Oni folder hierarchy or the [[Oni (Mac)|Mac OS X]] version of the same. | All of Oni's files will be found in a folder called "Oni"; the default location of this folder in Windows is C:\Program Files\ and on the Mac is /Applications/.

Windows users will note that Oni does not create any registry entries, so the game can be installed by simply copying the Oni folder to a new computer and saving a copy of this folder will be all you need to do in order to reinstall Oni if necessary. (It's a good idea to back up the folder before applying any mods.) | |||

However, unless you [[Customizing#CD_check|get rid of the CD check]], you still need to have the Oni CD in the drive to play (actually, any CD will do, as long as its volume name is ONI...). | |||
