Are you going to make a MAC OS X version of Zelda Classic? I (and dad) hope for using Zelda Classic and zquest on the Mac (which is mine) instead of the PC (which dad has only borrowed from is job).

Use a dos simulator with the dos port of zc. Never had need for one so I have trouble thinking of one. May or may not work but that would be the best course of action.
To strive for perfection is a journey best not known but taken.~ Me
dosbox from sourceforge (runs under pc, mac and linux) or a full emulator like bochs with freedos as OS.

Yeah, that's the best you can do at the moment. I think the next version's gonna support Mac, though, so you don't have too long to wait. :)

2.10 DOS does not run under DOSBox's mac version:
"Load error: no DPMI - get csdpmi*b.zip"
And yes, I did get the armageddon games file...
You have to actually run the config exe and then the exe after that first. However when ZC tries to launch it just crashes DOSBox. I think about the only solution is VPC.
Wish it would come out soon, even at least a beta to tide us over.
Well, for those who *really* want to see the Mac version, here's an old one (1.93 Beta 4) since the current one won't even run until I do some bug fixes on it:
Open this in your browser:
http://darknation.armageddongames.net/OldMacBeta/
Open each disk image and copy the files inside to a new folder (for instance, Zelda Classic). Open the files in this order: zc193a4m.dmg, zc193a4m-b.dmg, zc193a4s.dmg. The zc193a4m-b.dmg is a corrected version of the game engine, I believe, which is why it should be opened after the first disk image. If I recall, the first file has a bug in the engine which causes enemies to not appear sometimes and to other times appear in the top left corner of the screen.
Please let me know if you download this. I'm curious as to how many people actually use it.
From #PureZC on initialized.org:
[10:18] <Iori> BH4, just say something like "Darklink813 wants to say that he downloaded it and that he will use it but his account has problems and can't post"
[10:18] <Iori> -_-
[10:18] <Iori> pwease
[10:19] <Iori> Oh and say that it would also be great if they could add the resource files into the application themselves.
[10:19] <Iori> and uh... that I REALLY REALLY WANT A MAC VERSION
[10:19] <Iori> and that Dark Nation is awesome.
[10:19] <Iori> :p
Darklink813 = Iori, obviously.
One issue, I can't seem to load the Zelda Classic 3rd Quest file. It's not automatically in the game list and ZC tells me it is not a custom quest when i try to add it.
BTW.. so far so good. Just got home from vacation and have played with it a bit. Other than no full screen option, a couple of my favorite quests being for newer versions only (CastleHauntII and Link to Tortuga), and Link's Birthday DX not being playable despite being for an earlier version (192) everything is cool. I still can play Origins2, CastleHaunt1 and Hidden Duality: Director's Cut.
