Index ⇒ Games Support ⇒ [Request] Ready to go System 7.5.5 emulator for Windows

[myloch]

hi men hi guys I'm lookin for a pre-packed ready to go system 7.5.5 emulator, I want to test an ancient mac cdrom that I recently received. any help?
Become a bit lazy recently and I don't have time and patience to mess with mac os installation in an emulator.

The magic disc to test is 3Dアトラス (the japanese edition of ElectronicArts' 3dAtlas), cdrom is marked as "not for retail", maybe it was bundled with some japanese macintosh machine? I wonder if this edition has been already dumped.

In the meanwhile I managed to run this in sheepshaver + os9 but i̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶v̶a̶r̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ ̶g̶r̶a̶p̶h̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶g̶l̶i̶t̶c̶h̶e̶s̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶u̶d̶i̶o̶ ̶i̶s ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶i̶n̶g̶,̶ ̶m̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶d̶u̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶l̶e̶m̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶q̶u̶i̶c̶k̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶e̶x̶t̶e̶n̶s̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ and japanese texts are garbled, because I'm using the included english os.

I'd like to up this but I don't know what's the cd image format the mac abandonware world usually chooses...

Well, I suppose a simple .iso renamed to .toast and compressed with classic StuffIt .sit algorithm is "mactarded" enough!

Bit late at the call here but if still needed;
– Japanese Mac OS 7.5.3 and Mac OS 7.6
Renaming .iso file into .toast may cause loss of info as files in those days were in fact 2-parts; one 'Resource Fork' and one 'Data Fork'.

Was it all for nothing?

[SwedeBear]

Never, Sir!! Every finding is a something.
.toast files may be mounted inside the emulated Mac OS. In macOS X they can be associated with the emu through prefs and mounted 'inside'. HFS Explorer manages these image files too IIRC.
