Does anyone know how to get yahoo games to work in OS X? Please, someone must know. I've been trying but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get them to work. Thanks.
 
they worked for me as of a couple months ago... at least most of em.

some of the are really crappy... like pool

but in general they work

what browser? what game?

etc
 
Internet Explorer 5.2 and ALL of the games. I can go to the games but when I try to load up one of the rooms, I simply get the message at the top of the screen that says...."wait 3 minutes for applet to load...Click here if applet fails to load." I've waited WELL over 3 minutes and nothing seems to happen AND I've clicked on the here button and waited WELL over 10 minutes and nothing seems to happen. What is applet and why doesn't it work?
 
An applet is a small Java program which generally runs through a browser. I was just trying the Yahoo games the other day in Mac OS 9 at school and found that they do tend to take a while to load.

You may find that switching browsers may help the situation.
