Ironically, I tried another PowerPC-native application that was made with Director 6 and it worked just fine on SheepShaver. Must be this specific evaluation/not-for-resale version of Director 6 that has problems in SheepShaver. Quite odd, since I doubt there's any difference in the basecode between both the standard and evaluation versions of Director 6.

Did a little more research and I believe it won't work on SheepShaver because of some unimplemented opcodes, I'm sad to say.

hi, good report
even I can't solve your problem (I run this program on imac G4)

Alrightie, managed to get Director 6 installed and working in BasiliskII. Dunno why it won't work in SheepShaver, unless it's an issue specific to Mac OS X users. Again, thanks a gazillion for uploading.

UPDATE: something really strange is happening...there's no sound in Director. QuickTime movies play with sound, though. Unless it's because I need to have SoundEdit 16 installed at the same time...

UPDATE 2: Installed SoundEdit 16 and Director 6 is still silent. Quite confusing, as Director 4 runs properly with sound...

nope, updating to 7.6.1 still didn't fix the problem. Guess I'm off to download BasiliskII...

Just one MAJOR problem I'm having: I'm trying to use Director 6 with SheepShaver emulating System 7.5.5, and whenever I try to launch either Director itself or a projector made with it, SheepShaver just crashes entirely (or, on one occasion, the program crashed with a type 10 error). It did accept the serial number, though. How did you get this to run? It installed just fine, the only thing I did was select custom installation and deselect the system extensions as I already had QuickTime 2.5 and Sound Manager 3.2.1 installed. Unless, this is probably because of the fact that SheepShaver was mainly designed to run OS 8 and 9. I'm considering updating to OS 7.6 to see if that solves the problem. Let me know what you think.

Again, thanks a GAZILLION for uploading this. Really is great, since I only have the Windows version of Director 6.

Now, I'm hoping that someone can upload Director 5, and then I'll be all complete.
