the problem is shapeshifter
try fusion 3.x POP2 works perfect there

[deling]

fine , but from where Can I download fusion ? to testing this problem

[DamienD]

Yup, this has been discussed in the thread Mac titles for CD32 via Shapeshifter? and indeed the issue is ShapeShifter

As for Fusion; you cannot currently purchase and it's illegal to host on EAB as Jim Drew wanted it removed. See this thread: Fusion Mac Emulator

btw,

the POP2 version from mac.garden is very buggy is not well cracked
you will found protection issues during the game

try another crack from any other mac site
I have a 100% cracked POP2 btw

This version is not cracked at all; you still need the manual to get past the symbol protection when you enter the cave after the first stage.

When you say buggy, can you elaborate?

well I can elaborate very much but the version I have is far better 100% cracked you don't need to type protection codes
even is trained and you can select which level you want to play

you can found POP2 in caviar 3 CD, caviar CDs are on eab ftp btw

if you are to lazy to extract the file from the iso I can zone the game for you

Me lazy, not at all...

Thanks for the info

[deling]

and did You try old Shapeshifter POP2 working ok ?

[DamienD]

Yup, we tried all versions of ShapeShifter with PoP2... issue remains.

We also tried various settings, different sound drivers i.e. AmigaAGA-EVD12 as opposed to MuEVD.

The sound stuttering is annoying but for me the worst thing is the intro / cutscenes getting "stuck".

There's a workaround which I posted in that other thread I linked to... will find and post here for you

Edit: here's more information for you.

I am getting very close to releasing "Re-FUSION", which is an all new version of the classic FUSION. There are new video drivers, support for various FPGA based emulators, CD-ROM emulation using ISO files, and more. It will be bundled with a new version of PCx (name not decided yet) that also has FPGA specific code support (still works without FPGA of course), new video drivers, etc.

Nice

ok good idea
but why yo don't make Fusion for windows as well
you can eclipse basilisk emulator which yet have lot of bugs
ie basilisk emulator can't run POP2 well

also it will be more profitable for you than a new Amiga version
ie you can charge 10 or 20 $ for the full windows version

you done long time ago FusionDOS but is unusable today in new hardware
perhaps you can use such code for a new windows version??

[JimDrew]

I sold the complete rights to the PC version, which supported both DOS and Windows (95/98, the versions that were available back then) to Emulators, Inc. I won't be doing anything for the PC ever again. If you want to run FUSION-PC now, I would recommend running it with VirtualBox. It will let you run the 68K MacOS faster than any FPGA based Amiga can (running FUSION or Re-FUSION) on a modern day PC, and with a fast PC it is ridiculous.

ok
I was on the emulators inc site
I don't understand anything who are these guys and I don't quite understand what they are selling or if they actually sell something

such website is strange and such guys are very rare

BTW, are you the author of softmac for windows?

Would it be possible for a feature request? Would probably be very easy for you to implement.

I will PM you and you can decide if its worthwhile.

Got your PM. What you are requesting is basically impossible. The MacOS moves memory around constantly. This is why you get a handle for memory allocations, and not a physical pointer. A handle is a pointer to a pointer. That pointer can change at anytime on the whim of the MacOS. Applications on the Mac are not a single file in memory. They have resource and data forks. It's like having a complete directory of files that get loaded into random locations. Only the program loading them knows (in real time) where they are loaded by the OS and there is no notification if something is moved.

Please do, it would be awesome

We could get back to playing around with POP2 and many more games that have issues with Shapeshifter
