So I have unpacked my old GS after many years and would like to get some
of the games I used to like on it, specifically Alien Mind, Gnarly Golf,
Zany Golf. After many hours of configuring my iMac G5 and old Color
Classic, I can download the games, ethernet transfer from the iMac OSX
to Color Classic with sys 7.6.1, can ProDOS format an 800k floppy,
however everything I downloaded seems to be too large to fit on a 800 k
floppy.
Next I was apple to network the GS running 6.0.1 to the Color Classic
and transfer the files from the Mac to the GS hardrive, thought I was
home free....now the GS doesn't recognize the files, .sea files won't
open and can't open .shk files as I can't get GSShrinkIt to unpack on
the GS either. I'm sure I have file type/creator problems but don't know
how to solve this. Can I fix this on the Mac side or have to find a
filetype working program for the GS? How would I get that on the GS
anyway as I can't seem to work with the basic filetypes yet?
Anyone have a good explanation on how to start? Seems like I need to
start at some basis, get .sea to work, then .shk or some other
combination. I'm not ready to go through the emulator methods yet and
don't have much patience left to work through serial comm methods. I've
read tons of info on the web but can't get the basic files I need to
work to really get started.
Thanks for any help.
