Grand Prix Circuit install ?!

Post by Sebiohazard »

Hello everyone !

I would like to know how to install this game ?

I installed System 6.0.7 with the Mini vMac emulator but the game is in .sit format & Mini vMac refuses to read the floppy ?

1. How to insert the game disk in Mini vMac or how to convert the game to .dsk format ?!

2. How do I install the game in System 6.0.7 ?

Thanks greetings !

I just tried this method using Mac 7.5.3 in Basilisk II, copy the SIT to Mac 7.5.3 with HFVExplorer and unstuff it with Stuffit 5.5. Then copy the unstuffed folder to a mac formatted 1.40 MB floppy and start the game from the floppy in System 6.0.7 in Mini vMac, it worked for me on Windows 10.

Hello thanks for the reply!

The combination of the ALT + Q keys works well :) I still had a question, I created the game disk with the excellent HFVExplorer software, is that the way it should be done ?

PS: I also installed Stuffit Deluxe in version 3.7 (version .dsk) here & the game also launches after decompression...
