Is there any way to run classic environment programs?

I downloaded my favorite shareware game from when i was a kid but cannot play it because its a classic environment game. Is there anything I can do to run this? Its a really simple little game.

What OS did it use? You can get OS9 and earlier generation Macs for $40 or less which is probably less than what buying a used OS would cost you. An early imac would happily run OS8.5-OS9 and not take up too much room. You could probably find a Classic II for anything OS6-OS8.1 which again would not take much space.
Also have a look for re-releases. Although it is rare it does happen. I was suprised to see that the original Solarian II had been faithfully re-written for OSX an even has all the old appearance from when it was released in the early nineties (or was it late eighties). Now that was a real classic and it's great it was preserved like that.

  • Is there any way to run Classic on an Intel mini running Tiger?

    Due to space limitations, I'm having to retire my old faithful Powermac 6500. It's hard to believe that it's 10 years old. It's running OS8.6, and can run OS9 even though it seems slow and memory intensive.
    Is there any way to run Classic mode on my Intel Core Duo mini? It's hardly a matter of life and death, but I still have several older Mac-based games like Railroad Tycoon II and Myst that I enjoy, and they won't run on the newer mini.
    If space wasn't a problem, I would keep the old machine running just to play games, but it's not possible now.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    -Bill

    The only way is to install (free) emulator programs such as BasiliskII or SheepShaver.
    I have both installed, though I only use them to run older programs to rescue old data from obsolete formats.
    Installing and configuring them is not trivial, unfortunately.
    Links here:
    http://basilisk.cebix.net/
    http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/sheepshaver/
    I don't know if either is suitable for the kind of games you want to play. Graphics is typically where emulators fall behind. But again, I have no experience with those games.

  • Is there any way to run signcode.exe program under background mode

    Hi everyone,
    I am finding the solutions to build the project automatically but the situation is still unchanged. When building the project i have use the signcode tool to sign my .cab files therefore the system shows me the "Enter Private Key Password" dialog and ask me to enter my password into the Password field.
    If all you guy have any ways for packing the project by the mechanism of the running signcode program under background mode. Below is my script.
    [b]signcode -spc ms.spc -v ms.pvk -n abc.cab -i URL -t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll abc.cab
    Thank you for your ideas and regards
    Tan

    Hi,
    you can use the tool signcode-pwd to automate the signing:

  • Is there any way to get windows environment variables like %USERNAME% with javascript?

    is there any way to get windows environment variables like %USERNAME% with javascript using Adobe 10 pro?

    There is a fair amount of Acrobat JavaScript and Acrobat knowledge need to sort all of this out.
    The identity object holds a lot of sedative information. First, upon installation of Acrobat, only the login name is available in the identity object and the end user of the application needs to complete the "Name", "email" and "Organization Name" in the application's preferences. These are the only fields that are available to Acrobat JavaScript identity object as corporation, email, loginName, and name.
    Using the instructions in The Acrobat JavaScript Console (Your best friend for developing Acrobat JavaScript) you can run the following script in the JS console to see the items of the identity object:
    for(i in identity) {
    console.println(i +": " + identity[i]);
    and the following will appear in the console:
    loginName: georgeK
    name: George Kaiser
    corporation: Example
    email: [email protected]
    true
    The documentation states you need to use a trusted function to access this data, but you can access it at startup of Acrobat/Reader and add the properties of the identity object to an array:
    // application variable to hold the properties of the identity object
    var MyIdentity = new Array();
    // loop through the properties of the identity object
    for (i in identity) {
    // place each property of the identity object into an element of the same name in the Identity array
    MyIdentity[i] = identity[i];
    console.println(i +": " + MyIdentity[i])
    You access the items with:
    var loginUser = MyIdentity[loginName];  // get the loginName property
    In the user application level JavaScript file. See Acrobat Help / User JavaScript Changes for 10.1.1 (Acrobat | Reader) for the location of the application level folder you need to use.
    I would change the name of the array used in this post so an untrusted user cannot get to your data. Some of this data can be used in hacking into a user's system.

  • Is there any way to run a report from database?

    Is there any way to run a report from database using trigger?
    A report needs to be printed out when a new row is inserted into a table.

    If you are using the Reports Server it is possible to start a report from a trigger by using the UTL_HTTP package (in the sys schema) to call the report URL. This should work with DESTINATION=PRINTER.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there any way to check another Java program running status?

    HI. I want to write a Java program on hand-set but my program seems needs lots of resources and if there is another Java program running on the same hand-set simultaneously, my program will slow down. So, I want to check if there is another Java program is running on the hand-set, my program will show a message to user reminding user to close another program first.
    Is there any way to do so?

    On most recent devices, the application is not terminated but paused by using phone functions, and can be reactivated from the aplication management software. The javax.microedition.midlet package documentation is quite specific, if a tad obscure, about the MIDlet lifecycle and the role of the MIDelt methods vis-a-vis the AMS.
    {color:#0000ff}http://java.sun.com/javame/reference/apis/jsr037/javax/microedition/midlet/package-summary.html{color}
    Parenthetically, I've never been able to figure out how resumeApp should be used, nor have I seen this method invoked in any of the samples that come with the WTK, but I haven't gone through all of them.
    I believe the still-in-progress MIDP3 will make it possible to have MIDlets that share the screen with native apps and which can be minimized and restored.

  • Is there any way to run a timer on the presentation screen during two consecutive presentations?

    I administer exams that require running two consecutive presentations and interact with the person being tested. With each candidate we use two different presentations, so I can't just make only one presentation.  Is there a way to have a timer display on the presentation screen through both presentations? Each person only has thirty minutes to get thru both presentations. If one only takes ten minutes, then they have twenty for the final one. I'd like to get away from using egg timers.

  • Is there any way to run the datasocket server from the vi

    I want to run the datasocket server from the LabVIEW program and is there any command to do this. Because, I built one application vi and this vi is link with another vi using datasocket.So every time before i run the program, i need to run the data socket server. So if i forget to run the datasocket server, I need to restart my vi. So what I want to do is I want to run the data socket server, when i open this VI. So that I do not forget. Thanks.
    Saw.

    In the examples\comm folder there is a file called datasktxwin.llb In that library open e.g. DS 3D Graph Writer...launch it and you will see that it launches the data socket server. Take a look at the code and you'll find a VI that launches the server; "Launch DS server if Local URL.vi".
    If you know the path to the server executable you can always launch it using the System Exec.vi from the communication palette too. The typical command line would then be:
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\DataSocket\cwdss.exe

  • Is there any way to run Siri on my iPad(iOS 6) with Local WiFi Network which requires a proxy sever and a port(8080) to connect to the internet?

    I create the WiFi network using the internet sharing option in my Macbook Pro from a local ethernet connection..and set the HTTP proxy settings in my new iPad.Siri runs like a charm on an other WiFi connection which doesnt require proxy but on my University connection it says that it cant handle any requests right now..

    We were having the same problem here at the School I work at.  By looking at some traffic logs and doing some internal testing, it appears Siri attempts to make a direct connection to the outside network using HTTPS (port 443), without using any of the proxy settings you may have configured on the Wifi network.
    We've reported it as a bug to Apple but haven't heard anything back yet.
    To get around it in the meantime you'll have to punch a hole in your firewall to allow Siri traffic through.
    Currently Siri appears to contact IP address 17.174.4.14 over port 443.  The IP address may change in the future, but that will at least get you up and going for now.  We went ahead and opened the entire 17.174.4.0/24 network, as the entire block of addressess is owned by Apple.
    Again, there is no gaurentee that this will not change in the future and break again.
    Good luck!
