No. Fusion is fastest on 68030 and 68040. Shapeshifter is fastest on 68060.

It's the same machine, TF1260 100mhz+Mediator+Radeon 9250. All caches enabled.

I really wonder why this should be the case. Both do not need to emulate the CPU, but "only" need to patch MacOs. Then it depends mostly on the configuration, i.e. whether you have a file disk or a full partition, or whether you have an RTG graphics card or use native Amiga planar output. Without additional hardware, screen refresh through MuEVD is as fast as it gets without room for much improvement, and with an entire partition set aside for MacOs, IO speed is only limited by the hardware speed and not a function of the software.

Decided to give it a go under BasiliskII

I got a horrible mis-colored mess

= 12 disk Toast file

DamienD asked me to post this:

No idea where to get the CD-ROM version from... both Macintosh Garden and Macintosh Repository only have the floppy disk version. This means no voices.

The game works fine except that saving / restoring is flaky; just use Save States.

You can now find the complete installed package on the TURRAN FTP under /~Uploads/DamienD/HDFs

Thanks, but the version you've linked to is the PC version running via DOSBox. Damien was talking about the "native" Macintosh CD-ROM version.

The CD version was not released for Mac. Your link is probably just the DOS version with DOSBox for OS X.

[vulture]

Yes, that's what I meant to say. It's the dos version packed with dosbox to run on mac

[rygar]

My bed....only Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition was released on Mac with talkie.

[Marce]

I just tested the floppy version of gabriel night on shape shifter,fusion 3.1 and Basilisk ii on windows

the game works but there are music issues in all these emulators

the game contain 3 drivers to install, but only one of them works , the other 2 don't

the MT32 driver not works because none of such emulatos have a link to make it to work

Conclution:

The mac version o Gabriel Night is very buggy and there is no MAC emulator which make it to work correctly

if you plan to play this game I recommend it to play on DOSBOX + MT32 music
forget the MAC version

correct
there is a cd image on mac garden and mac repository , a ,toast cd image, but is just the pc version

[NovaCoder]

This game should run perfectly using ScummVM RTG

That depends on the connected midi device and taste. Both GM and MT32 compositions are same as in the DOS version. Any more mundane questions?
