Hi all,
Just one dumb question. Is it possible to install Prince Of Persia on SheepShaver, and actually have the correct "palace" icon? I have tried installing it two ways, one from a sit file from Macintosh Garden, and also from a cd I have, Prince of Persia cd collection. Both install showing an icon that is a piece of paper with a pencil on it. (generic icon). The game itself plays perfect. Sorry to waste your time, this just bugs me. I am using Mac OS 9.0.4. I'm guessing it isn't possible, just an emulation glitch. Anyone know the answer?
Thanks!

I think its due to the icon resource type changing from 7 to 9.
One of the icon managing apps should be able to cure that.

Older icons should still show up fine in OS9
When applications (and their document files) show generic icons instead of their own specific ones, the (invisible) desktop files may be corrupted.
You can rebuild the desktop files by holding option-command at startup. But in SheepShaver (and BasiliskII) the timing is critical.

Re: Prince Of Persia application palace icon
option-control, or option-command? I thought it was option-command?

Yes, thanks, it is option-command. Corrected now in my previous post.
