is a PITA, because you have to install OS and copy ROMs across from old machines. You're right, setting up Sheep Shaver, vMac, Basilisk II etc. However, Intel machines don't support any form of 68k emulation, inside Classic (no longer available) or anywhere else. PowerPC machines (running Mac OS) supported 68k machines, first directly in (say) OS 9, and then through the 'Classic' mode in OS X. PoP is an old application for '68k' machines (68020, 68030 etc., such as the LC or IIci). Short answer is you need Sheep Shaver - or an equivalent emulator. It seems like there are a lot of annoying steps to get it to work though, so I was wondering if there was any easier way? I did a quick good and someone had posted a tutorial on how to use Sheep Shaver to get old classic games on intel macs. There's a "prohibited" circle around the icon, and when I double click it a message pops up and says "You cannot open the file "Price of Persia" because it is not supported on this system." I tossed it in my Intel Mac and crossed my fingers, but of course it won't work. So after all the talk about releasing Prince of Persia on the XBLA I decided to drag out my old copy of both PoP1 and PoP2.
