SimCity 2000 - Amiga or Macintosh ?

[Xanxi]

The MAC Shapeshifter version is better on my setup (A1260 AGA 192MB RAM). However, the MAC often crashes after a long moment playing and progress is lost.

I can't try SimCity 2000 or anything on my emulated Mac because whenever i try and get stuff onto the "mac" via CF or CD it won't run.

It will have a "PC" icon. I even tried to get Stuffit version 4 but it won't run and says something about PC Exchange

Old mac files are not to be downloaded on a PC because of some odd file attributes that go banana.

Downloading on the Amiga is fine with Ibrowse.
Then i use the Mac-Handler stuff from the Shapeshifter package to mount my MAC hardfile and copy the file there directly, and everything is just fine.

Can i download them with any special tools on the PC as my miggies are not connected to the net ?

There is a complicated method i have used successfully.

Look for a PC tool called HFV Explorer. With this tool you will be able to include MAC files inside a MAC hardfile of any size, respecting the files attributes, the so-called forks. Then transfer the hsv hardfile to your amiga and use it as secondary hardfile (fortunately Shapeshifter can use two) and transfer the needed files.
