Many years ago I told you in <a href="https://actionsoft.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2057">this thread</a> how I managed to get MM to run on Snow Leopard server in VirtualBox.  The only problem was (and is) that the game lags a little which makes it very hard to play in any other mode than easy.  Well, I have come across another better (but a little more complex) solution.  I am now using VMware Fusion to boot Mac OS 10.5 Leopard server and it runs MM very smoothly with no lags.  The installation is easy but getting the sound to work is a bit tricky.  <br />
The host is MacBook pro 13&quot; late 2017 running MacOS Montery 12.4<br />
<br />
Here is a guide for those interested:<br />
<br />
1. Download and install VMware Fusion. Go to <a href="https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion.html">this page</a> and register the free version to the right.  You will be led through some tedious field fillings (name, email, password etc) but eventually you will get an six digit activation code for your new account sent to the email address you provided. Fill in the code in the form and you will get a registration key for your copy of the VMware application.<br />
2. Download the 10.5 server from <a href="https://archive.org/details/macosxserverinstalldisc">this page</a>:<br />
   a) The ISO image (it will have the ending .cdr don't worry about that). DO NOT DEVELOPE THIS FILE AT ALL!<br />
   b) The Rich text Format (for the serial number needed for installation of the server).<br />
3. Run VMware (enter the registration key when prompted) and drag the ISO image ending with .cdr onto the window (see 1. image). Click continue.<br />
4. You will get another window (see 2. image). Just click Finish here and click Save on the next window.  You will get a small window with info about Mitigations. Just press OK.<br />
5. The installation will start.  Just follow the screen instructions.  Eventually you will be asked for the serial number, open the RTF and use the number provided there.<br />
6. When the server is up and running, you should install the VMware tools, which is on the VMware menubar (see 3. attachment, greyed out because I have already used it - should be selectable in your vm) but actually installs onto the Leopard server.<br />

Many many years ago I started playing Midnight Mansion. The pre-Intel period. In those days I was already active on the first boards and around that time I made my first steps with the mansion builder, which resulted in a project that I called Works in Progress. Several parts of it were used in my <span style="color: #ff9900;">House of Wonders</span>. A mansion that absolutely needs a serious renovation. What brings me to my first issue: I do not have access anymore to any of the MM-programs.<br />
:'(<br />
<br />
Together with <span style="color: #0000ff;">brell</span> I became administrator of the current boards (version YaBB 2.2) at the time of the release around Christmas 2006. I am not sure, but I think that it was earlier that year that I released my <span style="color: #ff9900;">Midnight Mazes and Monsters</span>. This custom mansion was a huge monster and because it was so big, no wonder that it also contained some good parts.<br />
<br />
<br />
In January 2010 I created my last mansion: <span style="color: #ff9900;">The 7th Key</span>. It was a small, quizzical mansion where Jack struggled with a backpack that wasn't large enough. It was also the period that my MM-life slowly faded away. I remember the start of HD and MM2 with its contest. But finally I did stop completely.<br />
<br />
So what is going on right now, more than ten years after? Even without the possibility to play, fix or build mansions! That is the ...<br />

A new look on designing a (custom) mansion?

I needed a new travel computer. It doesn't need to do much, be able to check email, do some writing, maybe record my podcast if we are on the road when it is due out, play some music occasionally.<br />
<br />
A friend runs a Mac repair shop, he has a lot of odd artifacts in his basement. <br />
<br />
I'm getting a 2008ish Macbook, running 10.6.<br />
<br />
Guess what the first DL is going to be!

Hello, is there any way to get the source code for the MM Level Builder? I would like to port it into newer OS. I'm not saying that I will do it for sure, but since programming is my passion I still want to try it <br />
<br />
Have a nice day

I tended to play MMHD on my work computer during downtime. My company just upgraded to Big Sur, so it doesn't work.<br />
<br />
I can't get the registration to work on my home computer. Emails remain unanswered.<br />
<br />
MMII has become vaporware, and I loved it even more than the original.<br />
<br />
This has been my favorite game for a decade now, and now I can't play it. This makes me very sad.

Is anyone else having this problem? Happens with both Firefox and Edge.<br />
<br />
When I try to go to the website, it wants me to DL it. The forum (obviously) works just fine.

Hi All,<br />
It's 2020 and I got the itch to help Jack find the treasure once again. I really like the custom mansions. I rarely finish one, but that's okay.
