Hi -
Thanks so much for the site, I pretty easily set up a Mini vMac on my MBP 2013.
I'm trying to load "Bard's Tale I: Tales of the Unknown", but am unable to. Other games downloaded from Emaculation work just fine. But the file I'm using doesn't do anything at all (apparently) - not even an error message.
Any help or ideas?
File I'm using is at this URL: http://bardstale.brotherhood.de/talefiles/1/files/
(using the Mac version, of course).
Not sure if anybody still checks these forums, but figured it's worth a shot.
thanks!

Re: Bard's Tale on Mini vMac
Well, the file appears to be intact.
How did you decompress it? Did you end up with an app called "BardsTale" and two folders named "Characters" and Data" ?

Re: Bard's Tale on Mini vMac
I have the EXACT same question and I downloaded the Bards Tale game from the url. I used whatever my max os ver 10.11 used to unzip the files. I managed to get the Mini vMac emulator to run on some levels, but I can't get the emulator itself to look into my mac itself. I'm having a difficult time figuring out the boot image stuff for one thing and then how to run Bards Tale I mac version.
Re: Bard's Tale on Mini vMac
For MiniVMac it is more convenient to have game files in an .dsk or .img container.
I will add such image to the page here:

Seems like the game runs equally well with Basilisk II and SheepShaver.
A disk image container is not really needed for those.
