Anyone still here? - Mikee - 01-16-2017

Hey Guys,

It has been a long time since I posted anything on here.. so I guess it's about time to change that Smile

I wonder, is anyone still here? If so, how are you doing / what are you doing these days?
For me, I have recently gone through all of my old files again on the old Mac and porting some of these onto my Macbook which is still running Ok-ish. Seeing all of those good times I had with the game kinda brings me back to the old days, of course only this time I'm speaking/writing english a lot better. Still remembering the time I used google translator or some other translators cause I didn't know how to reply back in english sometimes, and of course it all ended in a very bad english since those translators weren't exactly this good.. but still, I guess most of it went fine.

So, the reason behind changing my nickname to Chippy, (old nickname was Mikee), is actually quite simple, this is the nickname I use for almost every Game, if it's not taken already, since more than about 4 years, so I just wanted to leave this here for those who were wondering why I did that Smile

Let me know if you are still here, because I kind of miss the old days where this forum was more lively than now. At least I'm glad this forum is still here though :3

Hi Chippy! There isn't much going on here sadly. I do get the notifications though. It happens I play MM now and then. Love the mansions. See you soon again!

Hi Chippy, nice to hear from you. I check the forum every day to see if there are any posts. I still play MM1 HD occasionally. I have an old computer which still runs MM2 and the original MM1, so I get on there every once in a while. Not too often, because it's not that convenient to use that computer. I need to set it up in a better place.

Cheers!
Carol

Hey Rose and Semi-Native, it's really nice to hear from you again after all these years. I'm very glad to hear you're still playing MM1 (HD) and MM2. Lately I've gone through some mansions files from MM1 and MM2, a lot of unfinished projects I had on my old Mac and so on.. but it kind of brings me back to the good old time where building a mansion was so much fun Smile

So I thought about building a new mansion for the game, the only question is should I make it on MM1 or MM2?.. I don't remember building a mansion in MM2 and uploading it here, and sadly MM2 won't work on any Windows system either.. Thinking about making a new mansion in the original MM1 and porting it into HD later on, but I'm not a 100% sure on that..

so, what do you think would be the best choice? ^^

Greetings,
Chippy :3

Re: Anyone still here? - Semi-Native - 01-17-2017

I'd say MM1 would be your best bet. Good luck!

Hi guys! I'm another person who still drops by occasionally.

Chippy (I remember Mikee Smile ) - the HD page says it runs on XP through Windows 7, if that helps you at all. I've only run HD in Bootcamp/XP, so I don't know if Windows 8 and up will work. But maybe?

Re: Anyone still here? - brell - 01-21-2017

Hi Chippy, make it an MM1 mansion and then port it to MM HD via the Rezycle application.

To play the original MM1 or MM2 one needs to have an old Mac running 10.6.8 or older OS or, like I did, run a 10.6.8 virtual machine via VirtualBox 4.1.2 (must be exactly that version), which can be very slow.

Re: Anyone still here? - otg - 01-27-2017

Occasionally, I'm here also just to see if there's someone who decided to port the level builder to later OS's. So far no luck... Smile

I've saved some old macs just in case, and especially for my kids who are getting older (5 and 3 years now) and will probably enjoy playing the
old
game

Re: Anyone still here? - EricC - 02-09-2017

I still look in occasionally. I never posted much, but I am a big fan of the game. I need to scavenge a computer from the dead pile at work to go backwards so I can play MM2.

Re: Anyone still here? - Mikee - 03-22-2017

It's good so see familiar faces are still around these days Smile That would be the plan to convert the Mansion from MM1 into MMHD. Luckly I've got an old Macbook which runs on 10.6 so I can have access to both MM1 and MM2 and also MMHD runs on it too. It's just I don't have much free time these days 'cause of my job, but so far I managed to create 30 rooms, but I can't tell when the mansion will be ready to play, working on it as fast as I can.

To have the Mansion Builder on my Windows 10 Computer would be nice too since I normally use Windows now, but that's a dream that most likely will never come true though =/ But at least MMHD works just fine on Win 10.

I've tried with a Virtual Machine on my PC but it didn't work sadly, can't seem to make it work so I gave up on it. But still, I can use my Macbook.. the only bad thing about it, is that it's only a 13" monitor, kind of small to work on, but it still gets the job done.
