I’ve created a DVD installation version for this as well, which I’ve used to work on two Mac Intel machines:

Oh, and I’m running 10.5.8 on a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo.

I’ve installed Myst III and shut off the second CPU on my 2006 dual core MacBook but crucial ambient sounds are missing from J’nanin (the whistling rock, indeed any ambient sounds except those in the glasshouse at the base of the main tusk. This is infuriating – especially as entrance to one of the tusks is dependent on sound identification (the ‘flower antenna’, which is completely silent)!

HELP!

Hi Martijn,
Thank you so much for this information ! However, I went to the Apple site to download the developer tools, and they only have them for Snow Leopard (10.6). I am currently running 10.5. Do you know of another place that would have the tools just for 10.5 ? Thank you !

Ray and Martijn, I can confirm that this procedure does not work with the DVD version I have included with Myst IV Revelation, sadly. After dragging the data and M3T folders into the disk image, the Exile app crashes with a JPEG error, suggesting an issue with the latest Quicktime version. I don’t think it will be easily solved.
Even the OSX Exile installer on the DVD does not work

Hi Ray,

I’m not sure about that. I don’t have that edition, so I can’t verify it for you. It’s worth a try, though! Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

Martijn.

Hi,
Does this work with Myst III included in the 10th anniversary DVD version?
If so, are all the steps I have to follow the same?

Oh no! I’m a new Mac user; do you know what the problem is?

Have you tried opening the file with StuffIt Expander? If you have that program installed and it still opens with TextEdit, try opening it directly from the application, or choosing Open With from the Finder window.

That’s right, you won’t need an OS 9 partition for this.

Hope this helps!

Martijn.

Hi Corine,

I’m not sure at all—can you give a bit more information on what you did and how you got that error message?
