The most visible difference between the game data in Mac and Windows Oni is the presence of .sep files on the Mac. This and other changes were made either for general optimization or to meet some limitation on the Mac side. Due to the fact that [[History of Mac Oni|Mac Oni was finished after Windows Oni]] and the demos were finished after the code was finalized for both platforms, the changes for Mac Oni carried over to the Windows demo.

On Macs and in the Windows demo, .sep files contain the BINA, OSBD and TXMP resources. For TXMPs in particular, only the "wrapper" for the texture data is stored in a Mac's .raw file, with a link to the actual image data where it is found in the level's .sep file. | ||
