See [http://mods.oni2.net/node/315 HERE] for a supplement to the Mac demo that contains the second level, which was originally only released in the Windows demo. There is no demo for the PS2 version.

+After installing retail Oni on a modern OS, you will need to install a patch of some kind to run it. The original demos also require patches to run. However, the repackaged demos (linked to above) come with the needed patches, so the "Patches" section below does not apply.

 ==Patches==
-Oni will not run on any modern computers without a patched game application. For the sake of historical completeness, below is a table of Oni's compatibility with every version of Windows and the Mac OS going back to the minimum required OS that was listed for Oni when it launched in 2001. If you still encounter problems after following these directions, see the [[Troubleshooting]] page.
