great work!

but i have a question, problem: I use SheepShaver for Windows (03-12-2022) https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5325

and I would like to use Mixed CD (data+audio tracks) for Mac OS 9. Therefore my question:

Thank you!

With latest SheepShaver builds, bin/cue support works in macOS but seems to not work in Windows.

kanjitalk755 commented 1 year ago

BIN/CUE is not supported in standard builds. (It is enabled for Xcode projects.)

To enable it:

./configure --with-bincue
cat7 commented 1 year ago

Hi, the windows builds I provide are configured with --with-bincue. However, the cdrom is only partly read when a cue file is added to the prefs.

Do you have an easily verifiable BIN/CUE?

RonaldPR commented 1 year ago

The files in this download from Macintosh Garden are discussed in the forum: https://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/games/Colonization_bin-cue.zip

The game works fine in macOS, with music. In Windows the music tracks cannot be played.

kanjitalk755 commented 1 year ago

I installed Colonization and tried it. A Build with the --with-bincue option played the opening music, a build without it didn't. Seems to be working correctly.

How did you add the cue to the prefs?

cat7 commented 1 year ago

Ok, problem fixed. It seems the cue file contained data from having been zipped on a Mac. Once that data was removed, the cd was recognised correctly and played OK.

Lopez73 commented 1 year ago

that sounds really great! can you describe that in a little more detail? How can I reproduce this with my windows computer?

RonaldPR commented 1 year ago

See the forum. Open the cue file in Notepad and remove additional info caused by the OSX/macOS zip format. The content of the file should then only be:

Oh, please note I "fixed" the wrong cue file... it was for the civilization game, not colonization game. The colonization cue file works just fine.

RonaldPR commented 1 year ago

So the game works fine in SheepShaver for Windows, with music, for both kanjitalk755 and cat7. The issue seems specific for Lopez73. For now, I think it is better to continue discussion in emaculation SheepShaver forum: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75668#p75668

RonaldPR commented 1 year ago

Problem solved. The .cue file was apparently added as disk instead of cdrom to the prefs.
