  • How to Get and Run Rolypolys 2
    Basilisk II, at least for me, had issues when it came to loading game saves. It also had an issue where sound cut out entirely about an hour into the game, so I cannot personally recommend it for this particular game. I was recommended SheepShaver as an alternative. Source: 11 months ago
  • [Mac/PC] [90s?] Top down 2D action/arcade game
    ShadowWraith would have run best on a Mac with a 68040 processor, at least 10 MB RAM, running System 7.1, 7.5, or 7.6.1. You could try setting up Basilisk II to run it. MAME’s Mac emulation has also come along quite a bit in the last few years, although it can still be a bit rough around the edges. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Anyone have access to Apple’s serial number database? Case refers to a PowerMac10,1 with 1,42GHz G4 but actually boots into a PowerMac10,2 with 1,5GHz G4. SN is YM54904UTAA. Might just be the cleanest and prettiest lunch box Mac I have ever laid my hands on after a restoration job.
    I have a Mac mini (Early 2006) (Intel Core Solo) that I upgraded to a 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo, on which I run the Basilisk II 68k emulator (informative support forums are here). Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Any way to open windows 69 word files
    That's actually really good news and explains why they don't have a file extension! It might still take some work, but you could very likely find the exact version of Word that he used to create the files on macintoshgarden.org and could then use something like Basilisk II to run it and open the files. Hopefully from there it's just a simple Save As to something a modern computer can understand. Source: over 2 years ago
