Hi,

I recently found the game beypnd dark castle. Is it possible to run it on windows? It is a .cpt file.

Thanks

I think you'll want to set up an emulator. Have you tried using Basilisk II or SheepShaver?

I am trying to. I need some rom file though. Do you know where to get one?
Also Could you tell all the files I need, if you know it?

Thanks

I can't give you a ROM for use in Basilisk (that would be illegal), but this article (though old) will give you everything ELSE you need:

If you would prefer to try SheepShaver, this guide here will help, although again, there is ROM legality thing going on:

And also, I dunno what a CPT file is. That might be a bad thing.

I did create a disk but how do I get the files from my PC to the mac. It can't read the windows file system.

Is there a "My Computer" icon on the Macintosh desktop? You should be able to get them to the Mac through there. If you can't see that, click on "My Computer" in the preferences GUI and enable it.

Hey... I got i t working. But this file of dark castle is not working! Maybe I need to find it another place. Would anyone know where to find it?

Thank you so much. You've been so helpful.

Thanks

So,

I got it working. Even the game. But no sound. Any clue?

Thanks

This appears to have happened to the last guy to run Dark Castle as well:

You might want to try setting up SheepShaver, if you have access to a recent MacOS.

hmmm, I wouldn't know how to get a recent mac OS. I'll see too it and post back.

Wait... Beyond Dark Castle is ancient, right? Have you tried running it on vMac?

no,

I don't know what it is, but I guess it's another emulator. I´'ll search a little and try that.

I can't seem to download it. The page has been moved I guess!

In the other forum hit you linked to me regarding no sound, the ruy who replied talked about posting the preferences, so here it is, I hope someone can get something out of it:

Thanks

It was reported to me that he got the game running just fine in Mini vMac.

I got errors when I tried, though.

Nice work on getting Beyond Dark Castle to work! :)

Welcome to Emaculation forums SvendHest! Nice to meet you.

A .cpt file is most likely a Compact Pro file. These files are like a zip file. The program is now freeware, so go for it! If you ever get into a jam where you dont know what the file is, go to http://www.filext.com

>neospy

P.S. Is Beyond Dark Castle abandonware? If not, then this is warez...
