You could always use WINE or CrossOver to run NitroExplorer (and most Windows applications) on your Mac.
You can also try to run a virtual xp on your mac if you have enough ram. A good freeware virtual pc program is virtual box . This way you have a 100% guarantee it will work, because you're running windows. However, this will impact your performance greatly if your mac doesn't have enough RAM.... Also note that you cannot access files on your hard drive unless you install extra additions. They did this because in case of a potential data loss or corruption, the only thing that would be damaged would be the virtual hard disk.
Here's a very comprehensive guide on how to use virtual box, it also explains how virtual pc works in general: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html
You can also use a commercial program called vmware fusion, which can boot a bootcamp partition natively within mac OSX, and run windows programs in mac OS X. But this method also needs a lot of RAM to run, but this way you can access the files on your hard drive much easier.

I believe WINE and Crossover both support VB runtimes as they support up to .NET 2.0 framework. You do have to install the runtimes environments in order to run apps that use them, just like in Windows.nando said:

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.+1

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
