Can't run Enchanted Scepters on Mini vMac

Post by ponzaro »

Hi,

I've downloaded Enchanted Scepters from Macintosh Garden in .sit format. Then, I followed the guideon this site to set up System 6.0.8 on Mini vMac successfully and I also installed Stuffit Expander 4.0.1 on it. But stuffit, doesn't find the enchanted scepters file and so I can't open it. Any help?

Thanks

My page for Stuffit Expander describes a work around for this problem when using System 6.

Thank you, now I've extracted the file and I have a .img file. Now what I have to do to run the game?

that .sit file should be extracted on your host, and the .img file inside dragged onto your Mini vMac window. It will then mount as a disk.

Now that you have the .img file inside Mini vMac, you can run ExportFl to export it to the host computer. Then drag the the .img file on the host computer into the Mini vMac window to mount the image.

Since many Stuffit archives require a later version of Stuffit then can run in Mini vMac, it is often necessary to extract the archive on the host computer, or using a different emulator. But in this case, since the archive is already successfully extracted, it may be easier to use ExportFl.

When I tried to mount the img, mini Vmac was saying that the image was read only, but I resolved with CnvtDC42 from gryphel's site.

Thank you! :wink:
