I am very new to the emulation game, but have decided to emulate System 7.5.3 on my OS X (Snow Leopard) computer to play some old games.
I downloaded the OS from Apple's website and managed to get through the installation process using the Old World ROM and a Disk Tools 8.5 image (as per Cat_7's helpful advice in this thread). I installed to a 2GB virtual HD and encountered no problems during the install process.
The virtual HD boots up fine and I am able to install certain programs (Acrobat 2.1), but I have had problems with other programs. I installed Castles: Siege & Conquest (which also installs QuickTime 2.1 and Sound Manager 3.1 as system software), but every time I try to open the game, I get this message:
Code: Select all
Sorry, a system error occurred.
"Castles CD"
error type 10
EDIT: I should add that the games I want to play are all written for PPC. Does this have any influence on which ROM I should choose? The virtual HD only boots with the Old World ROM.
