I've got Full Throttle, Mac Version [original disks] and I am trying to run it on amy Mac. What happens is that it keeps crashing [freezing] with some sort of CD error message - I'm afraid I forget what exactly but I am mainly wondering if there is anything obvious likely to stop the game running.

My Mac is:

PowerPC 5500 board but with Sonnet G3 upgrade

MacOS 9.1

128MB RAM

It is well above the minimum spec for the game, and the game runs fine for the first few minutes.

I had hoped to run the game with ScummVM on a PC, but it won't pick up the Mac files, which is a shame [but I don't think ScummVM says it will run Mac files on a PC so that's a fair cop].

Grateful for any advice!

The game files on the Mac version need to be unpacked, first. Also, HFV Explorer can give you access to the files on a Mac CD from a PC. The first version of Full Throttle that I tried in ScummVM was a Mac CD. That was before they had full support for the game.
