[comp.sys.mac.games] Darwin's Dilemma and system software

preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com (Scott E. Preece) (12/29/90)

When I updated my IIci from 6.0.3 to 6.0.7 system software (so I could
run Hypercard 2.0), Darwin's Dilemma stopped working.  It no longer
makes sounds, and the icon explosion that happens when you push
something so that it wraps around and clobbers you from behind now gets
a "System error -- unimplemented trap".  Does this suggest anything to
anyone?  The vendor's support service is closed until afgter New Year's,
so I thought I'd ask here...

thanks,
scott

Scott, Inline Design has an update to Darwin's Dilemma that will let it work 
with System 6.0.7.  The upgrade is available at no charge.

You probably need to convert the game's sounds to the format compatible 
with the new Sound Manager. To do this, get a copy of Sound Mover 1.62 or 
later (available by anonymous ftp from sumex-aim and other places). Open a 
*copy* of the game in Sound Mover and copy the sounds into a new file. 
Copy the sounds back into the game, replacing the ones currently there. 
This may fix your problem, if the game's copy protection doesn't complain about changing the program.
