    When I download some game demos, I can play the game easyily. However, there are some demos with finish downloading, and I try to open it, it doesn't have a default location. What program should I run this demo on? It is the game XIII.

    The XIII Demo is a .sit, correct? You need to use Stuffit Expander.

    FYI, that demo is also PowerPC. So you may have incompatibility issues. Peace.

    if it is powerpc architecture it needs to run under a built in emulator and thus typically runs a little slower. but in many cases is acceptable.
