Another method to play games for Mac

This is my own method and archive below is compressed by me. If you like to copy this to your forum/website/etc., please note that I am autor of this article.


File to download
Macintosh Emulation Package (17 MB)

How to use
After downloading this WinRAR archive, extract it using your favourite extration application. You will have some files in a directory. The main file is basiliskii.exe, which is the emulator main executable. If you want to run Macintosh system software, launch this application. You will see System 7.0 loading screen and then desktop should appear. There are two files on desktop (hard drive and recycler) and a menu bar. Open the hard drive to show its contents by double-clicking it.

Any questions?
If you have any questions, post them in this topic.

How to start playing game with new version of the Emulator Pack

1) Run the emulator
2) If any message like "cannot register hotkey" or "driver not found" appear, click OK
3) Wait for the system to load
4) Double-click the Hard Drive icon
5) In the window which opens, double-click on any game folder icon
6) The new window will appear, double-click game executable icon
7) Have fun Cool

Awesome.

Sitcked.

So now we have two ways (and guides); using my method running on Executor : http://www.popuw.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=207

and your method (which is better) using emulator : BasiliskII

I'm having trouble with your method. Everything goes fine until step 6... When I try to copy the file aladdin_exp55.hqx to "Emulation Pack" I get an error: "HFVExplorer: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\aladdin_exp55.hqx: hqx file header not found". I don't know what any of this means, so maybe you can help me out.

I never had error like this. Maybe the file is not valid, try re-downloading it, maybe it help.

That seemed to do the trick... the first time i downloaded it from Mozilla Firefox, and the second time I used Internet Explorer... maybe that made the difference.

I have a problem (again Sad ).

When I change to DirectX (fullscreen), and choose 256 colors, 640x480 resolution, then the Mac Os goes to Black and White!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why is this, but I'm very mad now Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad .

I've also tried jalal's method. It seems to work properly so maybe I'll use that.

Mylen: I wondered why was it too. Did you try this?
Open System menu (the one with Apple icon) and select Control Panel - Monitors & Sound. And there you go - Color depth - Colors:256 instead of Greys:256 Wink

I already tried to repack PoP2 to be used in Executor, but I was getting error in some point. I managed to unpack everything in Executor, but when I started PoP2, It just said something about undefined traps and quitted. Everything else seemed to be fine, but the game didn't start anyway.

As far as I remember, it means something with system, but I'm not sure. What application have you used to repack the game?
