	In Response To: Pathways Into Darkness On Basilisk 2 (SarahLynnMarie) : Hey there, everyone. :) (Very) long-time lurker, first-time poster. : I've recently gotten an interest in playing Pathways Into Darkness. I : downloaded it from Macintosh Garden (link: : http://www.macintoshgarden.org/games/pathways-darkness ) and set up : Basilisk 2 (a Mac emulator) by following this guide (link: : http://emaculation.com/doku.php/basilisk_ii_setup ). Basilisk works : wonderfully; I've gotten OS 7.5.5 installed, and it seems to run well. I'm : having some trouble with PID, though. : Here be the specific problem: I'm using HFV Explorer to transfer the PID .sit : to my emulated Mac. Once there, the PID .sit doesn't extract properly. I'm : using StuffIt to try to extract it. : I've ruled out a problem with the .sit. Using the newest version of StuffIt : on Vista, I'm able to expand the file with no problems. So at the moment : I'm thinking: 1) Something is being lost in the file's transfer to the : emulated Mac, : 2) Something's wrong with the emulated Mac, or, : 3) I'm rubbish at extracting files on Macs, emulated or otherwise. : I've had this problem with almost -every- file I've transferred to the Mac. : It either doesn't extract properly, or I get this error message: "The : document could not be opened, because the application program that : created it could not be found. Could not find a translation extension with : appropriate translators." : Has anyone here successfully gotten Pathways to work on an emulated Mac? Or, : does anyone know of a good article detailing how to do it? I've scoured : the interwebs but haven't found one. Was this a common-ish error with : older Macs? Any help would be much, much appreciated. :) I seem to recall, back when I was using basilisk, that I could easily get files off of the mac, but could never get anything on to. Maybe try extracting everything in vista, then moving it over? I don't really know, but you should head over to The Pfhorums to get better help. It's a much more active board.
