Thought of this again just now. It's not over yet, but there have been some, uh, bumps in the road. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/co ... ride/posts

Are there really a lot of games from that period that don't have equivalent ports to other platforms..?

Also, I recall there should be in-game music playing in the background, but this is not present when I play the game (I did the Full Install), though other sound effects are there. The game uses Redbook CD audio for the music, I think? Perhaps it is freezing whenever it is trying to cue up the ...

To take a wild guess, do you have CarbonLib 1.6.1 installed? See https://www.facebook.com/groups/OberinG ... 829892432/ .

Hi! Are you an AI-powered spambot? There are a lot of those going around these days.

Adding for posterity:

FluxEngine

The overkill method would be to run it in a virtual machine like PCem, though there's probably a more elegant solution.

At the risk of stating the obvious, surely there are Windows-native applications capable of playing the files in question?

In the days of ISA slots in PCs, there were add-in cards that made it possible for the internal floppy drive to read Mac 800Kb disks (maybe also 400 though I don't remember). Now, as far as I know, the only practical way to read those disks is to use an old Mac. Does anyone know of an alternative ...

I remember working in a Macintosh computer lab around 20 years ago where each machine was equipped with an external SuperDisk USB Drive. I happen to have stumbled across one of these recently - Imation model SD-USB-M, to be specific.

Now, it is very well-established that the standard PC floppy ...

How unfortunate that this sort of thing is still causing problems after all this time.

The Hypercard 2.4.1 installer is a 45 meg file, and for some reason, when you try expanding it with Stuffit Expander, you get a .img that looks "torn in half", that no image mounting tool will touch (wrong TYPE ...

If you are having difficulty searching for information, please be aware that the word is Pippin, not "Pip Pin". (It's a variety of apple, you see.)

Here are the SS games I play the most (I play some others in BII), most played first: Indeed, isn't it much better to run most of those games in BII, if not natively?

Pegasus Prime used to be an excellent use for Sheepshaver, but now that it's playable in ScummVM, that's no longer a requirement. I ...

If Executor and HFV Explorer aren't options, then there is a utility included with netatalk that can be used to convert AppleDouble back to MacBinary, previously discussed in https://emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=53615 . MacBinary files can then be safely decoded in System 7.5 with Stuffit ...

The Manhole and System's Twilight are likely candidates.

Well, if they're AppleDouble, then if I'm not mistaken, HFVExplorer would require "SaintEdit 1.1.rsrc" to be renamed to "%SaintEdit 1.1", and would also expect a second zero-byte file named "SaintEdit 1.1" to represent the data fork. (A zero-byte file can easily be created from the Windows Explorer ...

That's called "Apple Double" format, and is used, among other places, by SheepShaver and Basilisk II on Windows in the shared folders. Don't Sheepshaver and Basilisk use folders named ".finf" and ".rsrc" for storing resource fork data? I've never been entirely clear on whether the data stored ...

Can you be more precise about what you did here? Did you use Stuffit Expander inside of Sheepshaver?

It occurred to me that this was a good place to post this.

In the interests of completion, I thought I might mention MacOpener here, which I stumbled upon the other day despite never having encountered it previously. It seems it went through quite a few iterations.

As Escape Velocity is a 68k game, it may be preferable to use Basilisk instead.

I've got the first running, but each time I create a pilot, the pilot file is created, but as I play it's not updated, meaning I restart the game from scratch after a quit. How did you install the game? Did you copy ...

I had hoped that with the sources of HFV Explorer becoming available, some sort of integration with The Unarchiver would be feasible, thus obliterating the need for Expander forever. Maybe some day.

I also reckon something for mashing together all 14 parts of System 7.5.3 would be nice, but I guess ...
