For a mac..? I have no idea, but I bet that shit's gonna cost a fortune...For a pc, you'd be out of $30-$60, so if I am wrong, you can probably get something for Mac at around the same price...

I tried telling him not to get a Mac but he wouldn't listen to me. He was convinced it would be a good computer for him
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Why not just download an emulator and play the games on there without buying the plug in?

But, you may be able to buy a X VGA Box on Ebay or something that plug it in.

Wow this is gonna be a complicated reply..

@ A...All I can say is this Mac is better than any PC I've used!

@ e...I want to do this so I can take it out to the lobby on my dorm floor where there is better/more
seating than in my room...

@ raum...Alright lets hear it..What is your problem with Macs?

@ ruff...I don't want an emulator cuz I cant stand using a goddamn keyboard to play video games...I like my
controllers lol...But thanks for the help..

Stop being a cheap basterd and shoot over to Bustbuy or even Wal-Mart and but a controller for the Mac.
