If anyone is still interested I am happy to write up a step-by-step guide and post it here.

Modern systems are so fast that the system basically loads within a few seconds and it is almost as good as starting the game natively.

#Run an emulator on an old mac mac os

games will auto launch within the classic Mac OS after the package is launched from macOS. I prefer using System 7.1 because it allows for 'start up items' - i.e. It supports anything Mini vMac supports, which is up to Mac II (8MB ram) and pretty much anything for System 6 and 7. I then use a macOS application called Platypus, which provides an easy-to-use GUI for wrapping those Mini vMac installs into individual packages. I use customized builds of Mini vMac, which I compile on a per game basis.

I have figured out how to create Macintosh game packages that are both self-contained and which run in 64-bit in macOS (hence future compatible for macOS 10.15 and above). Can this be done or not? If it can, awesome. That's good to know, but I just want to know if there's a way that I can run all the files from those games from a package-based file like the games on the Mac App Store. I played it a lot on my upgraded B&W G3 running under Mac OS 9.2.2. app file for the files instead of the directory the. plist file or otherwise so that it checks a directory inside of the.

Is there a way I can reconfigure it, whether through the. There's an Intel patch for RTCW that is essentially a package file so that I can play it, but also open and take stuff in and out of (which the originalfile doesn't allow), though it still forces me to keep the game files outside of it, and in the same directory in order to work. You know, something I could put the files into and then click on the package to play the game? Preferably, something that doesn't take up 200MB of extra space on the hard drive. I just want to be able to put the game in a package/wrapper so that I don't have a dozen or so files laying around in one folder/directory. I already have Rosetta and the games run fine. Heretic II and RTCW (the copies I have, anyway) are OS X games, not Classic Mac OS.
