Sheepshaver VS Basilisk II

The challenge is that you need a mac that has a serial port, and then you need to be able to run the classic Mac OS (System 7 and higher). This camera pre-dates USB. However, you might be able to convince SheepShaver to use a USB-to-Serial cable and go with it that way. Source: 11 months ago

SheepShaver is a virtual machine program for running macOS, particularly the early PowerPC-era ones. It can run Rolypolys 2 just fine, although setting them up can be a bit tricky. Source: 11 months ago

The Macintosh Repository has a lot of vintage Mac software from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. Getting it working is another story. I use SheepShaver, it's a hell of a thing to set up, but once you get it working, it's good for anything that didn't require a graphics card (I've been playing so much Rescue! The last couple months). Source: 12 months ago

A new iMac M1 doesn't support older 32-bit apps so you're looking for an OS environment like SheepShaver that allows Intel/PowerPC Macs to run legacy pre-MacOSX apps. In your case for M2/M1 Macs to emulate a 32-bit environment... Sadly nothing like that is currently available or in development AFAIK. My suggestion is to keep the Macbook Pro and continue using it as long as possible. I still have an ancient Beige... Source: about 1 year ago

Meet Sheepshaver, a PPC Mac emulator that runs quite well on Apple Silicon. You'll need to track down a ROM dump of your old PPC Mac, but then you can install MacOS 7.x-9.x, and run old software. I've had good luck with Warcraft II, SimCity 2000, and Civilization II. Source: about 1 year ago

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

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

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

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
