Looking for Mac HDF files (with games) for ShapeShifter.
Hi guys,
I recently install the latest Shapeshifter and now need to find a few Mac HDF files, so I can give it a good try-out. I've had a rummage around the EAB file-server, but couldn't find anything. I'd like to try and track down one that has a few decent games on it, particular "A-10 Tank Killer", which looks amazing on the Mac, but was rather less classy on the Amiga. Any comments of suggestions greatly appreciated! Cheers, Mike. |

Hi Mike,
Try the links on this page: http://system608.wordpress.com/show-me-the-goods/ The yearly archives 1984-1991 contain a fair few games. |

If you send me a PM I should be able to provide you with a couple of hardfiles with some Mac games on them - like civ2, doom, doom2, marathon 1 and 2, pop, x-wing, tie-fighter, settlers 2 etc.

The hardfiles are over 1gb in size each, is that too big for the ftp server?

I dont know?
I think it would be good if the games were easily accessible in HFV Hardfiles but I guess there on MacGarden anyway Last edited by Retro1234; 15 May 2017 at 16:48. |

The emulator is MinivMac and the user interface is Gamebase Mac, by the look of it.
Edit: Just noticed Sheepshaver used as well. That's impressive! Last edited by knightbeat; 16 May 2017 at 00:22. |

emulator involved in gamebase are: basilisk2 and Sheesphaver. I have configured a game also to use FusionPC that run on Dosbox.
it is mainly 68k games, but i included some PPC games that could not miss on a Mac Compilation. There is no a megapack. every games has own hardfile (hfv and dsk) that i have compressed in zip. It require some time to launch for this. |

hfv contains only the games and shapeshifter support hfv hardfiles.
however, this gamebase is no more available for some times..and for now i have no time to re-upload |
