Thanks, everyone! Ronald, I'm grateful for your time and help! Reward yourself by going down the well and acquainting yourself with the talking bomb (voice of John Cleese), and tormenting him by touching him a few times to try to disarm him.

I have Starship Titanic running in 9.0.4 and in 7.6.1 ...

Wow! I can hardly wait to try this! Thanks, folks. You rock!

I did just try the new world ROM (so far). I happen to own (somewhere) the Win version. I always got the feeling that Adams preferred the Mac platform, although I'm not sure there were any differences in the game. I have Wineskins on my ...

Ronald,

Just saw your earlier note. Yes, I use the three StarShip Titanic images from Macintosh Garden, with the .toast files added to SheepShaver's volumes list. When the system comes up, all three ST CDs are displayed on the desktop.

Oh, in case it matters: I have all three CDs mounted, and I select the maximal installation. I'm not prompted to change the CD, other than the strange message asking if I really want to remove CD1 (and I cancel out of that).

Okay. I just competed a new installation with a retail image of system 9.0.4 International English. I installed Starship Titanic, left both checkboxes checked (extensions, and QuickTime 3). I installed to a separate drive than the one my Mac OS is on. At the end, there's always a Finder message ...

Huh. Just when I thought I could declare victory... I started playing the game again and wandered into the Parrot's room. The stuttering was so bad that his words were unintelligible.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! I guess I'll do two things: I'll try again with a 9.0.4 International ...

Okay! I did something desperate. I noticed that sound worked fine except for Starship Titanic. What is different about this app? It has critical dependencies upon a particular version of QuickTime.

Knowing that Ronald installed QuickTime 3.0, in System 9.0.4, I returned to my original 9.0.4 system ...

Wow-- thanks for all the help! Unfortunately, I've spent several hours and made zero progress.

I recreated my SheepShaver setup from scratch with System 9.0, a retail disk image at Macintosh Garden. I re-unpacked the ST disk images, and re-installed Starship Titanic. I allowed QT3 to install. Same ...

Thanks Ronald!

My Mac OS came from Macintosh Garden. I chose: MacOS904_Internal.ZIP: Mac OS 9.0.4 Internal Edition CD-ROM image. The extensions I have were all just there after the install.

Before trying BasiliskII, I wonder if I might have better luck with this one, also from Macintosh Garden ...

I just had a look at the files that Startship Titanic has in its extensions. I'm not sure what it's doing with these, and I haven't allowed it to go through and install QuickTime 3. I think some of these are already enabled. Apple -> Control Panels -> Extensions Manager shows DrawSprocketLib and ...

I'm tantalizingly close to having Starship Titanic working. Once I get into the game, the audio starts stuttering and crackling. It's really irritating. I'm looking for advice on audio extensions and QuickTime. Am I correct in not installing the QuickTime 3.0 from Starship Titanic? Do I need to ...

Thank you, Ronald! Now I feel much better about my installation.

For those two games, mouse is not even needed.

For the next game I want to install, mouse will be very much needed: Starship Titanic.

This is strange: If I slowly move the mouse onto SheepShave from the lower left, so that the cursor passes over the control strip, usually it continues to display. If I don't do this, it's usually invisible. What's going on? I don't have much familiarity with Classic Mac systems.

Thanks,

David

One other datum: Jewelbox required me to change my display to 256 colors.

First, thanks for creating this!

My first two apps have been old Mac games: Jewelbox and Glider Pro. In both, the cursor disappears once the game starts. I can move the mouse and it seems to be tracked correctly. If I move it beyond the SheepShaver window, I again see it in my OS X system. Once the ...
