Need Help Running Zelda Classic on Mac OS X

Well, if you could click "Report..." and copy/paste the error details here, we might have a better idea of what the issue is. If I were to make a guess, though, I'd say the folder you downloaded is missing key files.

I unfortunately don't know much about Mac, but there are definitely files missing (ZLaunch, 1st.qst, 2nd.qst, 3rd.qst, and 4th.qst from a quick glance). Perhaps [MENTION=38582]Saffith[/MENTION] knows what's wrong.

This is a link to Saffith's dropbox and the Max version of ZC 2.50.1 RC2 in particular; that version might work... it's worth a try at leastl.

You could take a screenshot of your whole monitor display and post it so everyone has a better and clearer view of how your Max version doesn't work at leastl.

I did some research last night on the error code posted:

It seems that the Mac version of ZC was compiled using Snow Leopard. As a result, ZC is using a load command that Leopard doesn't understand. This blog post describes the problem.
Apologies if I'm wrong (I also don't have a Mac...yet), but every place where I did research pointed to the same issue.

"Generally, if you are targeting your [application] to run on multiple versions of Mac OS X, you should use the 'least common denominator' approach of developing on the older OS version. This is because newer versions may have extended the base OS API but generally newer versions will maintain backwards compatibility."

Anyway, now that the problem has been found thanks to you, it should be easy to fix. I just have to wait until Saffith logs in and starts working on it.

I don't have access to an older version of OS X, but I can certainly give the compile options a shot. I'll try to get to that in the next day or two.

Naturally, it turns out not to be so simple, but maybe this'll work...

It works! You may safely update the official download link with this one.
