What the heck is wrong with ufs that keeps games from playing on it? even shockwave games? This is so annoying! Can someone tell me why it doesn't work?

    Probably has something to do with the fact that HFS+ is not case sensitive, and that UFS is. The links to other files within a package may not have the right 'case' for the letters, thus causing the application to not launch.

    That's my best guess...
