I have recently extracted the games MacLanding and MacMissiles form the sumex archives and have attempted to run them on my SE/30. Occasionally I can get a play screen for MacLanding and play the game. Most other times the Mac crashes. In the case of MacMissiles I can't get anything to work without a crash. Has anyone been successful in getting these to work on an SE/30?

I almost got MacLanding to run on a Mac II. I think the remaining problem was the screen size and some hard-wired system constants. The first problem was that it used self-modifying code to make system trap calls. This doesn't work when the instruction cache is enabled. To disable the cache, use a public domain cdev or write your own program (an FKEY would be adequate) to do it. With the cache disabled, it might work, since it works on a regular SE.

Both MacLanding and MacMissles work fine with this accelerator, *-IF-* I turn off the 68020 instruction cache. On my accelerator board that's just a matter of clicking on a box in the accelerator control panel, I don't know if this is possible to do on the SE/30. Garance_Drosehn@mts.rpi.edu
