Unfortunately, it isn't a simple endeavor. Then you can install it on the emulated Desktop. So you would have to setup Basilisk II, ideally using a hard drive image Finder/System and then install Stuffit, then drag the SIT folder into the emulator to unstuffit. So that leaves you with Basilisk only as emulator. It will not run on a Mac Classic, SE or Mac II for example. It also is a 'newer' game in that it requires a 68030 or newer CPU (i.e., Mac Quadra, LC, IICX). That is example of game that has to be launched directly from the Mac Desktop and cannot be 'direct booted'. Google for Mac Repository.ĮDIT: I just looked at Bubble Trouble. I would skip dealing with binary files personally (particularly if a game) and find a dsk/img format file (see note below on Bubble Trouble). So you won't be able to point the emulator to a BIN file and run it. More than likely that will require you to use something like HFVExplorer to act as a bridge between Windows and the file if using Mini vMac. If the format is a BIN format it is most likely a Stuffit auto launch archive (similar to a zip exe auto installer) or a general installer file that would need to be launched from within the emulator running a Mac Desktop session. Hunting down a Hard Drive image with System 7 will save a lot of hassle in that case. I had a Mac SE and the single disk Macs were somewhat infamous for disk swapping from the system disk to the application file. So that means you have to have System 6 or 7 disk to launch then swap to the game disk to launch from the Finder. What you will eventually run into is that just like a 'real' Mac the game will need to run from via the Mac Desktop vs a direct boot. I would also stick initially to Mac software that typically had the System/Finder installed as part of the game such as Dark Castle, Lode Runner, Uninvited, etc. I would initially skip the Stuffit format files and get your setup working with DSK and IMG files first. Then unstuff it via the emulator.all somewhat painful until you get working. So what you wind up having to do is to setup an emulation in vMac or Basillisk and install Stuffit. If you do a search you will find some versions that will supposedly work on Windows, but I found they didn't work. Which leads to a pain which is Windows has no easy way to unstuff a SIT file, particularly the generation of SIT files from the classic series. You cannot run an SIT format file directly in any emulator, you have to unpack it first. Your other file type you mentioned was 'SIT' which is a 'Stuffit' archive format similar to Zip only it was the defacto format used on Mac's for many years. One nice thing with Mini vMac is you can drag and drop a dsk/img file onto the emulator and it will run.Ī full blown Basilisk Quadra setup using a hard drive image with System 7.5. The Mini vMac is limited the original 'all in one classic Mac' series and the Mac II. You will have to hunt down an Apple Mac ROM for those two emulators. Basilisk is probably the more advanced and can run Quadra Mac emulation (but also more complicated to setup). There are other emulators that run Mac software and those include BasiliskII and Mini vMac.

So in this example I have a disk called Dark Castle.dsk and that is what is imported into LB as the 'ROM' (I would skip the LB MAME importing process for these types).Īnd this is what MAME will launch (will take some time to load): That tells MAME to load whatever disk image you throw at it in Floppy Drive 1. Within LB you would then have within your MAME emulator setup a command like: hdiĭSK and IMG files tend to be the file types you see within the MAME zips. MAME can run the following disk formats (and basically same for all Mac series): So for example, I have a setup with MAME for a Mac Classic. The commands for Mame are basically the same you just substitute the MAME name (macclassc or maciicx or macse as examples). See this link to see which models are fully emulated: MAME machines > macintosh (). Mac's like the IICX are not fully working, although I found some games worked fine. MAME doesn't have fully working emulation of most Mac's beyond the initial 'classic' series (i.e., Mac Plus, 128K, SE).
