Has anyone been able to run Simcity on a Mac IIsi? I have a 80/5 Mac and everytime I run it, it would crash after about 5 secs of play. I even have an FPU but that seems to be no avail. Is there something about inits or my Mac's configuration that I should know in order to play this game? Help! Thanx in advance... Peter pn0o+@andrew.cmu.edu

Help! > > Thanx in advance... > > Peter > > pn0o+@andrew.cmu.edu You know, I have the same problem with my LC, too. I think I can get more than five seconds if I play around with different configurations, but the result is the same: system crash because the heap collision with stack. Does anybody know what this error means? I tried changing heap sizes, but no matter how big/small I make it, it always crashes. Is there anyway to run SimCity, or will I have to get the SimCity Supreme? Thanks -- =============================================================================== | T. H.

It says "SimCity Supreme" on a little sticker on the box, but the box is otherwise identical to my old one. Anyway - La Bomba. So I guess the word "supreme" is not enough. Is there an even newer version? -- Ingemar Ragnemalm Dept. of Electrical Engineering ...!uunet!mcvax!enea!rainier!ingemar .. University of Linkoping, Sweden ingemar@isy.liu.se

I >Only SimCity Supreme (the color version) runs on the si. The Nope. When I found out my B/W Simcity didn't work, I borrowed the "Supreme" from a friend. It says "SimCity Supreme" on a little sticker on the box, but Well, this may be off the point, but I bought SimCity Supreme 1.2c a while ago, and tried it with system 7. Bomb. Okay, just boot up A/UX for system 6. Bomb. I was a little annoyed, until I turned on 32bit addressing for system 7 - runs OK ! (though bombs if you quit and launch again) 32bit finder under A/UX is also OK, and I prefer this since the system 7 crashes may corrupt something - under A/UX I just have to re-launch the mac process :-) Weird bug fix, huh ? btw. this was on a IIfx, so don't know about the IIsi, but try ! -- Jon W{tte h+@nada.kth.se - Speed !
