Hello GameFlamers
I'm a proud owner of an SE/30, and like many (all?) of you out
there with an SE/30, I've found that many (many many) old and new Mac games
flame out when run on the hybrid 68030/color/black & white SE/30 system :-(.
Some of these games are unavailable in compatible versions, but are
enjoyable nevertheless. I've heard that there is an init available which
will make any Mac look like a 68000 Mac with 128 k ROMs. Is this hyperbole
or flight of wishful fancy, or does such a lobotomizer exist? It seems a
pity to try to make my fancy machine behave in such an obsolete manner, but
it would be nice to be able to run some of these nifty games.
Also, as an aside, those "RE: SimEarth Goodies" articles I've been
seeing are tantilizing but give no descriptions of the cryptic commands
described. What is FUND? SHOO? etc. I've got America Online, but have
never pursued these bits of wisdom because I never knew they existed. Some
knowledgable SimFreak could reply to one of these babies while I try to dig
up the information (hint hint)
Happy Carniferns

The init that is being refered to as the "lobotomizer" for the faster Macintoshes is call "Speed Chopper" I believe that this init is availible on sumex, if not send me mail and I'll see if I can dig up my copy (shareware). I have had no problems with the program when I've tried using it. It seems to be the best implementation of a program that slows the mac down that actually runs fairly smoothly.
