ActionSoft and Midnight Mansion's future

[otg]

That is such a great idea Leon, if someone can get 40000 dollars to make a potato salad, revival of this forum would be far more interesting for donors

Will MM2: THH be released for Mac? When I read the post it looked like a no but I wasn't sure

[josephine]

Hi Meredith- as far as I know, there are no plans at this time to port MM2 to later OS's. Vern (the creator of MM) no longer does this as his full time job. Many people still play and have an interest in building custom mansions so hopefully someday he will, or maybe

pass the torch

on to another coder (fingers crossed!)

You posted about getting a refund- Vern still drops by here and checks messages occasionally, but it may take a little while to hear from him. If you don't, one of the admins  **may** know how to contact him directly (I don't know for sure, just speculating.)

In the mean time, what kind of computer do you have? Is it possible (and are you interested in) having an earlier OS on another drive/partition so you can play MM2?

[ginger8445]

I have a MacBook Air OS Yosemite. I would be interested in partitioning my drive but as small as it is and due to the lack of a younger system cd, it's not possible. I only ask as much as I have been because I'm trying to revive the boards and people's interests in getting the game upgraded. I'm probably not doing it in the best way, but at least I'm trying

Another thing to keep in mind is that newer Macs are physically unable to run Snow Leopard or earlier. I found that out the hard way. I have a 2013 iMac and can't run SL. I actually bought a cheap used iMac so I could install SL and run MM and MM2.

Welp guess I'll be without sunshine and Jack is stuck in stasis

[josephine]

Meredith- there are many people who would love to see MM updated and have the boards

come back to life!

It was quite fun around here back then, and a great game like MM deserves that.

Oh- there *may* be a custom HD mansion in the works that features daylight

Actually, if you use a Virtual Machine programme like Parallels or VMWare Fusion (NOT Boot Camp), you can actually emulate Snow Leopard Server. If you call up Apple directly, I think you can purchase it for about ten bucks

Or VirtualBox 4.1.2.0. As far as I know this is no longer possible with Parallels or VMWare or younger versions of VB because Apple has banned it! Really. The possibility to run older Mac OSes has been removed form these virtual machines because of Apple's demand.

You've gotta be jacking me... I really hate it when Apple makes me start to hate them
