no, really this was on real hardware. however, thanks to some really great suggestions and assist from fogWraith, i now know the root crusade..

Language Kits messes upwards the fonts!

if anyone in the hereafter has troubles, but use 'add/remove' from the OS install CD and remove LK altogether.

I played this game way back on my 8600 and don't call back having font issues with the PDA. Are you peradventure using an emulator?

by bamdad - 2021, October 28 - ten:16am

anyone had this weird issue where the game works fine but all the fonts in the PDA are messed up? information technology's really weird as fifty-fifty the closed captioning shows up fine.. tried looking at it in ResEdit but bated from two fonts being referenced in 'Fond' there'southward cypher i can really do..

if anyone has a fix for this please share.

I've just got in running under the qemu-screamer fork and Mac OS 9.ii.2, albeit the Spanish
edition, but the English/American edition should use the same engine, so in
the finish it may piece of work the same (and maybe under SheepShaver and 9.0.4) if
you just follow the last step on installing QuickTime 3 and the overwritting
the Drawsprocket extension on your Mac OS 9 install.

The commands to install information technology (os922.iso is the Mac OS 9 CDROM image), mac9.img is a x GB disk:

qemu-img create mac9.img 10g

qemu-organization-ppc -accel tcg -thou 128m -g 1024x768x32 -hda mac9.img -M mac99,via=pmu -cpu G3 -kick c -display sdl,gl=off -device VGA,edid=on -cdrom os922.iso -kicking d

Follow the Mac Bone 9 setup every bit usual.

Kicking it:

qemu-arrangement-ppc -accel tcg -yard 128m -thou 1024x768x32 -hda mac9.img -M mac99,via=pmu -cpu G3 -kicking c -display sdl,gl=off -device VGA,edid=on

Printing ctrl-alt-f to switch betwixt windowed and fullscreen mode.

Press ctrl-alt-f2 to switch to qemu's monitor prompt, and so blazon "modify ide1-cd0 yourcd.iso",
where "yourcd.iso" is the path to a CDROM image, and press ctrl-alt-f1 to return to
the brandish. Then, install the full game without problems.

Later, you need to install QuickTime 3.0 from the 1st XFiles CD. After that, enter the DrawSprocket binder
from the same disc and drag and driblet the extension to the System Folder in your Mac OS 9 volume,
and overwrite the older file if your organization ask so. You tin can always reinstall it from the Mac OS 9 CD.

DVD version? Idea that was Windows-only.

As he got it running by using "Wine", I would say it withal is

past Solarstrike - 2020, May 28 - ten:30pm

Huh, there'southward a Mac version of the DVD version?
Thought that was Windows-merely.

past eisnerguy1 - 2020, May 22 - 12:01pm

Yeah, I pretty much gave up on running the game in SheepShaver. I establish the DVD version of the game (it was 8GB and managed to remove the other languages and get information technology to nearly 4GB) and got information technology running in Wine without much issue. Thank you for your help though!

past MikeTomTom - 2020, May 22 - ten:53am

That'due south besides bad. Sorry to hear that it's the aforementioned poor result and dumb fault message

It works for me, just I installed and ran information technology on a Windows SheepShaver, peradventure there's a trouble with the game on the Mac version of Sheep?

Tin can yous apply a VM and install Windows 98 or 2000? Information technology's how I was able to run the Windows version on my eMac under ix.2.2 - on Virtual PC. That worked actually well, whereas I was unable to run the Mac version on the eMac itself (ix.2.2 & QuickTime v - 6) any QT beyond version 4 is a trouble too.

[Edit] I but tried running it on a Mac version of SheepShaver. I get the aforementioned error bulletin every bit you !!!

I'm thinking now that at that place really is an incompatibility with this game and the Mac version of SheepShaver.
If so, that really does suck.

past Jatoba - 2020, May 22 - ten:46am

@eisnerguy1 Might I entice you to buy a inexpensive, used Mac mini G4? You tin run Mac Bone 9.2.2 on information technology, and Mac Bone Ten x.2 (no GPU), 10.3, 10.4 and 10.v (and 10.half dozen "alpha"). Plus good quondam GNU/Linux and BSD. And as well MorphOS, if you are into that kind of matter.

I might have to alter my username to "G4 mini Evangelist" at this charge per unit. Distressing for the mini derail.

past eisnerguy1 - 2020, May 22 - 10:08am

Thank you for trying but, I got the same error message once more. I followed every part of the Read Me file. I'm officially out of ideas. It doesn't help that the error message doesn't specify at all what's causing the problem.I'm going to see if I tin somehow get the game installed in Vino or I might try Qemu. Thanks again for trying.

past MikeTomTom - 2020, May 22 - 9:20am

Non a problem. I hope information technology works OK for you lot. Notation, it expands to a 3.5 GB disk drive, and then at that place's plenty of room for other files if it works out - or not. Good luck.

by eisnerguy1 - 2020, May 22 - 8:27am

Awesome. Thanks for your aid. I really do appreciate it!

by MikeTomTom - 2020, May 22 - 3:14am

OK, I'chiliad going to try installing and running it on Mac Bone vii.1 - I'll get back to you lot in an hour or 2 with a yay or nay as to how it goes for me.

[Edit 1] settled on Os 8.1, it seems to behave the all-time for me and running this on SheepShaver.
I'll add an annal to the page before long.

past eisnerguy1 - 2020, May 22 - ii:51am

I'm running SheepShaver on ten.14.6. Ah, gotcha. Oh, I didn't even encounter Prdous3000's annotate. Thanks, I really appreciate it. Was just about fix to give up with SheepShaver and requite Wine a endeavor XD Nope, doesn't need to be 8.1. The only reason I tried that version of MacOS is because you had success with that.

by MikeTomTom - 2020, May 22 - 2:05am

@eisnerguy1: What host system are you trying to run this on?

I used the DL's from this page, not from the Mega links. Tho' I don't think at that place'due south a difference - I think they were added to the internal server later on grabbing them from Mega. My setup was using an International English version of Mac Os 8.1 and an old Windows version of SheepShaver (circa 2010) and the host PC was running Windows XP - I don't know if that has any bearing on things, simply that how it was at the time.

I meet in the posts beneath, Prdous3000 was hitting the same error message as what you've been getting. If he resolved this I don't know, equally he didn't respond back after I had posted the "how to" (he didn't report what his host PC platform was, either).

I'll look into setting upwards another case of the game for yous, shouldn't have too long.

p.south. Does it need to be Mac OS 8.1? I can try installing it on an earlier PPC Mac Bone if you'd prefer.

by eisnerguy1 - 2020, May 22 - one:27am

No worries. I'm wracking my brain trying to narrow downwardly possible causes for the error message. I even tried the US & UK versions of eight.1 (since ReadMe in Disc 1 mentioned it beingness the Uk version of the game). I but tried irresolute the ram to 256MB and still got the error message. I honestly don't know what could be causing the issue. Similar I mentioned earlier, I even disabled all of the extensions except the ones mentioned in the ReadMe file. The discs you used were the ones from this folio, correct?

If information technology isn't as well much trouble, could you set upwards a fresh install? I feel like I'm missing something merely I'm non sure what it is. Cheers!

by MikeTomTom - 2020, May 22 - one:16am

@eisnerguy1: I'g sorry, but that bulldoze container has since been used for other things. I'd need to set up a fresh install. I have 256MB allocated for SheepShaver'southward RAM, I don't retrieve I've inverse that setting in the meantime.

Got to say, that error message is unhelpful. The only issues I had were with trying to run the game on actual Mac hardware, where the onboard QuickTime was version v or higher.
SheepShaver and QT 4.ten was OK for me.

by eisnerguy1 - 2020, May 21 - vi:04pm

@MikeTomTom, is at that place anyway you could share your 8.1 hard drive image? I've got the exact aforementioned set up that you mentioned in your mail but, I only go the "The awarding was unable to get-go due to an fault. Delight contact customer back up." error message. I even disabled all of the extensions except the ones listed in the ReadMe file. Non sure what could exist causing the fault. How much ram did you lot allocate to the vm? I'grand just trying to eliminate any possible causes for the mistake that I'm getting. Cheers!

past dr.zeissler - 2020, April 28 - 7:11pm

There is a DVD-Version of this, only I don't know if information technology runs on mac.

past MikeTomTom - 2019, September 8 - one:12pm

I think information technology really wants QuickTime 3 to 4 to be present. Across this, is a problem with blackness screen.

Not sure about the Os versions. Plays OK for me in SheepShaver, Mac Bone 8.i and QT 4.

by shallot - 2019, September 8 - ten:42am

I as well oasis't been able to get this to run on an iMac G3, neither under Mac Bone 9.two.2 or Mac OS 8.6 - I've tried messing with enabled extensions and every video way you can remember of, only it's simply a case of working audio but black screen every time. Has anyone else had better luck?

by Maximum R.I.S.C. - 2018, March eighteen - iv:41pm

Played this on the Playstation. Cracking Game for Fans of the Series.

past MikeTomTom - 2017, Apr 21 - ten:10pm

However I try I cannot get this to play nicely on my G3 Mac. The problem is the brandish. I tin can hear the game load just all I get is a blank screen, no video. I tin't even run across how to exit the game without crashing the Mac (Control Q doesn't appear to work with it).

Mayhap QuickTime 6 and the DrawSprocket from Mac OS ix.ten is besides new for this Game?

Mac & System is Beige G3 300MHz, PCI Rage 128, Mac Os 9.ii, QuickTime 6.0.4

The game is playing really well on SheepShaver (running Mac OS eight.ane + QT 4) on a Windows box, so maybe I'll only stick to playing this game on that.

by MikeTomTom - 2017, April 19 - 2:32am

@Prdous3000: Just to confirm. This game works OK in SheepShaver, for me.

If information technology helps, the setup I was using in SheepSaver:

Emulated PowerMac 9500/200 (Old Globe ROM)
Mac OS 8.1
QuickTime 4.ane.2
DrawSprocketLib i.ane.2
X-Files Standard install - Installed to a secondary mounted disk bulldoze.

I didn't have DrawSprockets installed or at paw and so just used the lib file that comes with the X-Files install.

Because I was installing to a secondary drive, the installer wanted to install QuickTime 3 (I opted out of this as I already had QT 4 installed). I shutdown and restarted the emulator after the install completed.

I did run the game with the Install CD images however mounted, which may (or may non) exist important.

Seems to play well, only I've only run information technology for about 15 mins so far. Only glitch I got was the menubar failed to render one time I quit the game - it re-appeared when I moved the cursor to the top of the screen and hovered over carte items (which was enough to allow me to shutdown the emulation).

past Prdous3000 - 2017, April nineteen - 1:16am

Yep I guess that might be the reason.. Im merely gonna have to buy an one-time mac it seems Thanks for your suggestions anyhow!

past MikeTomTom - 2017, April 19 - i:13am

Uh, now after install I become a "Application unable to start due to an error, contact back up" message

Its possible that this game will non be compatible for playing in SheepShaver. The minimum compatibility info above suggests the demand of a "Graphics Card" (without saying what type of graphics card). But games requiring graphics cards are often not compatible with SheepShaver.

~~I accept not tried to play this game on Mac or emulated Mac equally nevertheless, so I'm just surmising here and could be wrong. Merely guessing.~~

Edit: Scratch that, I've since installed information technology and have it running OK in SheepShaver.

by MikeTomTom - 2017, April 19 - i:07am

@Prdous3000: Which host Os? Ordinarily I'yard running Windows if I run SheepShaver, in which typically there is a SheepShaver GUI Launcher (SheepShaverGUI.exe) that I run before booting the emulation, where I tin make setup changes such as adding disk drives etc.
I think information technology's slightly unlike if running Os X every bit the host, in which there should be an option to setup SheepShaver before booting the emulated OS, where yous can add disks in the Volumes list under the Setup tab.

The "How-To'southward" for setting up and adding drives are explained pretty well at Eastward-Maculation.

past Prdous3000 - 2017, April 19 - one:02am

Uh, now later install I get a "Awarding unable to commencement due to an fault, contact support" message :/
I have QuickTime and DrawSprocket lib installed, whatsoever suggestions?

by Prdous3000 - 2017, Apr xix - 12:43am

Okay! I got it to piece of work! Thanks for your feedback! Every fourth dimension later on I added the iso and shut down
SheepShaver, I started information technology again using the Contempo Items card, strangely, after I started information technology again
by clicking on the actual icon of the application, the disk mounted, weird!

by Prdous3000 - 2017, April 19 - 12:37am

Hello, you hateful yous access Sheepshaver settings before launching your emulated Mac Os? How would I do that? Thanks

past MikeTomTom - 2017, April 18 - xi:29pm

I need to do this slightly differently. That is; I add .iso's or additional deejay images to the SheepShaver Settings, then I launch a Mac Os session and those images added to the listing mount onto the emulated Mac's desktop. Afterward I quit the Mac session and restart SheepShaver, the previous deejay images I've added are still listed.

by Prdous3000 - 2017, Apr 18 - 10:26pm

That might exist the problem, after shutting downward and opening Sheepshaver again, the iso is not on the list anymore

by MacTouch - 2017, April xviii - 7:48pm

You lot need to shutdown SS earlier lauching it again. Verify if changes are validated in SS preferences when lauching it the second fourth dimension...

by Prdous3000 - 2017, April eighteen - vii:35pm

Thanks for the quick respond! Unfortunately your solution isnt working for me, I add the .iso
but it wont bear witness up subsequently I restart Sheepshaver.. Might it be because Im using a Chubby Bunny installation? Thanks again for your help!

by MacTouch - 2017, April 16 - 7:34pm

Welcome,

The easiest way to use .iso files in Sheepshaver is to add them on. To practise that, keep Sheepshaver carte du jour, then Preferences. Just click on the "Add together" push nether "Setup", so cull the first .iso file. Echo this functioning with all the .iso files. When finished, you demand to quit Sheepshaver to brand changes. Then restart Sheepshaver & all the images should exist mounted. You tin can install the game at this signal. Just tell united states if information technology works for yous like that.

Thank you.

by Prdous3000 - 2017, April 16 - 5:53pm

Hi! Thanks then much for uploading this game! Nevertheless I have a trouble trying to install information technology in Sheepshaver, the files are .iso, and my OS9 doesnt desire to mount them, does anyone know of a solution? Thank you!
