SimCity 2000 - Amiga or Macintosh ?
« on: March 23, 2012, 07:20:56 AM »
I really got into SimCity 2000 again. I am currently playing the Amiga AGA version on my A1200 and it runs decently enough.

I have Shape Shifter installed and MacOS runs decent too but I did not try SimCity 2000 on it yet.

My question, which version will run nicer on my Amiga with my spec ? The AGA version or the Macintosh version (Via emulation) ?

A1200HD- Blizzard 1230IV / 64Mb / Kick 3.1 / OS 3.9 / 20GB HD
A4000 040 @33Mhz -Kick 3.1 / 16MB
A2000 Rev4.4 - \'030 @25Mhz / 8MB / Kick 3.1 / ClassicWB

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 :(

Quote from: Xanxi;684945
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 ?
