Ooops, somehow missed your post.

Thanks Troy; the issue here is that I'm not using the full CD-ROM image with audio tracks...

Only today I worked out how to mount CD-ROMs in Shapeshifter

Guess I could revisit Alone in the Dark 2 and Alone in the Dark 3 using the CD-ROM images at a later time.

No worries, great work mate. Yes, finding the full CD-ROM disk images including the audio tracks could be difficult, maybe even impossible now, sadly, unless anyone out there still has the originals and can make an image from them.

Regarding the Mac CD-ROM disks, surely we have people here who use "modern" Macs running OS X? As most of the disk images I can find are in toast format, which really needs to be converted to a more standard format for us to use, and I have not found any good, reliable method for doing this under Windows, but apparently it's easy under OS X.

You get this message when the game starts:
Don't worry though, all sound effect and music are present

...but not the additional audio tracks; as still haven't worked out how to add a CD drive / mount CD-ROMs in Shapeshifter.
Have managed to get around this annoying message; so it now no longer appears

So please just download / extract this archive into "C:\WinUAE".

I have .BIN & .CUE images of both "Alone in the Dark 2" and "Alone in the Dark 3".

Same issue as with "The Settlers II - Veni, Vidi, Vici" though; the CD-ROM is mounted, the audio tracks can be seen but don't play through Shapeshiter

...but saying that, I also have the same issue in "BasiliskII" for Windows though:
Maybe I need to do some extra configuration inside MAC OS, or there's something wrong with the MAC OS .HFVs that Wairnaair provided?

Surely all of these Shapeshifter games should be split into their own pack? Where's the line, because you can theoretically begin including every game from every platform provided an emulator exists on the Amiga.

Time for DamienD's Non-Amiga WinUAE Collection?

It's not a big deal but it seems like the pack is straying from being an Amiga pack. Or keep it as-is. I'm not bothered either way

I've now upgraded my "Warcraft II - Tides of Darkness [RTG] [ShapeShifter]" to use the CD-ROM

This means that you can watch the introduction, have speech in the acts, and who knows what else...

Will be released in the next Update Pack.

Yeah, I hear ya

To be honest; there were only a handful of MAC games that I really wanted to add... as they are quite cool.

I believe that I'm done now

Here is the second part of "Update Pack #46"

In this release I've added a lot of MAC / Shapeshifter games that I've been wanting to for quite some time, but didn't know how.

Details are as follows:

2 game updates:
... Heretic & Hexen [AmigaCD] [RTG] [MS-DOS conversion]
... Warcraft II - Tides of Darkness [RTG] [ShapeShifter]

2 configuration updates:
... Pinocchio [CD32].uae
... Super Street Fighter II Turbo [AGA].uae

4 new "cheats / hints / level codes / manuals / maps / walkthroughs" additions:
... Benefactor [CD32]
... Heretic & Hexen [AmigaCD] [RTG] [MS-DOS conversion]
... Star Wars - Rebel Assault [RTG] [ShapeShifter]
... The Settlers II - Veni, Vidi, Vici [RTG] [ShapeShifter]

10 new game additions:


Code:
Alone in the Dark 2 [RTG]   [ShapeShifter]
Alone in the Dark 3 [RTG]   [ShapeShifter]
Benefactor [CD32]
Diggers [CD32]
Santa Run [AGA]
Skeleton Krew [CD32]
Star Wars - Rebel Assault [RTG]   [ShapeShifter]
Super Street Fighter II Turbo [CD32]
Thalimar - Land of Chaos [AGA]   [unreleased] [demo]
The Settlers II - Veni, Vidi, Vici [RTG]   [ShapeShifter]
This now brings the total number of games in my collection to 3220

It's currently uploading and PMs will be sent shortly

This will probably be the last "Update Pack" of the year so; to all that have / enjoy my collection, wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas, D. Next month we celebrate your wonderful Amiga gamepack anniversary.

Next update:

Download / Extract this archive into "C:\WinUAE".
When unpacking, ensure you only unpack the following files:

- TurricanII.uae, but only bytes 32 and 654.
- SpeedBall.uae, but you need to XOR bit 38 because I can't couldn't compress the XORed version.
- LethalWeapon.adf - When unpacked, you need to crack the Copylock yourself.
