Old games HD install problems
« on: March 18, 2011, 08:19:15 PM »

Hi guys

I've got a nice working setup on my imac G5, with the newicons and Picasso graphics emulation.

I'm having a couple of problems though, namely:

I can install old games on the HD (TFX for example), which seem to run ok, but the WB screen won't shut down, meaning that I can only hear the game running in the background. I presume this is because of the RTG is not switching screen modes properly. Does anyone know of a simple script or something to correct this?

Secondly, can Shadow of the Third Moon work at all? I know that OSX doesn't like giving up the CD drive to any other applications; maybe some assigns can be used? I've heard that scsi CD-ROMS can be a problem on the mac but nobody's really expanded on this.

With RTG prob. If its a workbench game, you could try promote screen app.
Im trying to remember, :), bit to much drink I think, lol.

For CDROM problem, Im sure horace will be able to help / have ideas.
