How To Save Games On A Computer Lab Mac

I have a RollerCoaster Tycoon CD that runs on Windows 95/98. I really want to play it and I've tried just about everything, but I don't know anything about this process and I'm looking for someone to walk me through it. I'm not looking to pay anything. I blindly bought it on steam, but that's only for Windows too. So I have the disc and it on steam. What applications should I download and what steps can I take? I don't know much so a detailed walkthrough would be awesome. Thanks!

The computer will still store some temporary files that you cannot easily access, so it’s still best to not save any important personal information when working on a public computer. You should always carry a USB stick with you and save any files you create to that device. It will be easy to use them later on another computer.

Lab

Other software such as Altair Hyperworks, Labview and Solidworks are available on specific computers.

To access the MAE Lab Computers:

1. Establish a VPN connection. You need an active MyCarletonOne account to connect to Carleton’s VPN.

Games

2. Establish a Remote Desktop Connection. You need an active MAE account to access the MAE lab computers via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). MAE accounts are created for students taking MAE courses which need computer lab access. The username is same as your MC1 username but the password is separate and is emailed to you when the account is created at the beginning of the term. When connecting to these computers you must enter your username like this:

maentyourmaeusername

To see which MAE Lab computers are available for use always use this Remote Access Availability Page:

https://remoteaccess.labstats.com/Carleton-Mechanical-and-Aerospace-Engineering

Only computers that are not in use will show up on this page. Windows 10 only allows 1 active session on the computer so always check the availability page before connecting to a lab computer.

If you are using a Mac computer you will need to install the Microsoft Remote Desktop Application for Mac.

Important: Store your files in your Home drive, H: drive or Project Drive P: and not on the Desktop or Documents as those folders are in the local profile and are not saved and will not show up if you login to different computer.

When you are finished working on the lab computer, sign out/logoff. Do not just close the RDP window as that doesn’t log you off. Do not do a Shutdown.

Virtual Desktops via VMware Horizon Client

MAE students have access to Carleton’s Virtual Desktop System. These are accessed using your MC1 account. In addition to the General Student Lab Image (for all Carleton students) MAE has 2 special images with Engineering Software which uses 3D graphics. Access to these images is based on the course requirements.

General Student Image:

  • EES, EnergyPlus, ESP-r, IBM SPSS, Maple, Matlab, R, SAS

GPU-Image1:

Ansys, Catia, EES, EnergyPlus, ESP-r, Grapher, Maple, MathCAD Prime 5.0, Matlab, RicardoWaveVALDYN, TortoiseSVN

GPU-Image2:

Altair Hyperworks, Catia, EES, Maple, Matlab, MSC Adams, MSC Patran, MSC Nastran, MSC Digitmat, Tortoise SVN

Computer Labs

The MAE computer labs consist of standard PC’s that run a non-configurable Windows 10 operating system (users cannot install any software). All systems are equipped with Software needed for your MAE course.
If you are taking a MAE course then you can use one of the MAE Labs. Most labs have table space for laptops and group work. Lab locations are listed below.

All lab users must use a MAE Windows Account which are created based on class lists for courses which require lab usage.

Some labs require swipe card access, the access to a lab is dependent on the MAE course that your currently enrolled in. The computer labs are booked for tutorials, in-lab-exams and special events. All Carleton students can use Carleton University printers via the CU on the GO printing service.

(1) MAE labs are closed until further notice. We are doing all we can to keep our community safe and to contribute to slowing the progression of COVID-19 in Ottawa and across the country. For more information, please visit Carleton’s Coronavirus page. The Labs are closed for physical access but we are adding the computer to be available for remote access. See below.

Lab Access

MAE is using Campus Card Access for its laboratories. This means that you can use your Campus Card to enter the labs.

Your lab access is based on the program and course that you are currently enrolled in. For example, if you are enrolled in MECH3002 in the fall term then your access for the lab will commence on the first day of the fall term and end at the last day of the fall term (unless otherwise posted).

Please note that only MAE students have access to these facilities. Individuals that gain access to the space and are not eligible to be in the space can be reported to the Department of University Safety. Many of the labs are monitored both with video surveillance and using swipe-card access.

For problems concerning the Campus Card Access system please contact the MAE office.

Lab Policy

The MAE Lab policy covers:

  • Prohibited Expressions
  • Prohibited Conduct
  • Prohibited Food/Drinks
  • Lab Access
  • Other Policies

The MAE computer labs are for the use of MAE students, staff and faculty only. If there are non-MAE students in the lab please report them to neilb.mcfadyen@carleton.ca or contact University Safety at x3612
