dsnyd22 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Is there any support for Sheepshaver, Basilisk II, or Mini Vmac on Hyperspin. Has anyone messed with these. Im trying to set up some old mac games like geometric golfer, but cant find much on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stackson Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Is there any support for Sheepshaver, Basilisk II, or Mini Vmac on Hyperspin. Has anyone messed with these. Im trying to set up some old mac games like geometric golfer, but cant find much on this subject. I've been curious about this as well, as there are a lot of great Mac games out there - I'd add Maelstrom, Spectre VR, and Marathon to the list, and I'm sure there are more. In my searching I haven't found anything tying together Hyperspin and Macintosh emulation, but apparently MESS has improved in its Macintosh emulation so it would be an option. The challenge is that I haven't found a way to launch a Macintosh game through emulation via command prompt - i.e. you're in a Macintosh wheel, click on Spectre VR, and the emulator loads up the game within Mac. Most of what I'm seeing are ways to launch a Mac hard drive image through the command line, which would then require you to navigate the UI and open the game. I may set up Mac emulation in my Hyperspin in that way in the short term in the hopes that something better will later emerge. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith13 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Just so you know, All of the Marathon games (1, 2 & Infinity) are FREE from Bungie themselves for Mac, Linux and WINDOWS... No need to emulate ;-) http://source.bungie.org/ EDIT: Maelstrom is free for all OSs now too: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/Maelstrom/binary.html EDIT2: Spectre VR is available as a 16bit PC game that can be run thru DOSbox. Not free tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerojay Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I just had an idea I'm in the middle of chasing down to make having a Hyperspin wheel worthwhile. 1) Take MAME chd with OS already installed, make a copy of it. 2) Install StuffIt Expander from a (virtual) floppy disk to your copy of the OS hard drive. 3) Use this chd as the basis for all games. 4) Install the game to the hard drive, set game as a Startup Application. So one CHD per game, game set to auto launch on boot. Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
