A new topic is much better. Smile
If you could stop writing in CAPITALS and allow a linefeed once in a while, your request might be fulfilled more easily.

You´ll need Stuffit 3.5 or 3.6 within MiniVMac.
For S-Puck, feel free to try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ewmp7ae5qa5r0q4
Its a plain image to be dropped onto the running MiniVMac screen.
Unfortunately "naked" image files are not well preserved on the web.

Hopefully the games comes as Disk Copy image after unstuffing or unzipping them,
it would be very easy to mount them within Mini-vMac by drag & dropping them (if seen from outside the emulated environment).

wwwwwwwwww, what kind of host system are you using for MiniVMac?
Someone could prepare a image for MiniVMac with the Stuffit installer on it.
Meanwhile you might try this: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/stuffit-expander-351

A couple of files from Macintoshgarden wont be expandable with Stuffit 3.5/3.6, as the were deflated with newer (higher) versions.

ClockWise has a very good collection for MiniVMac here: http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/system_6_hell

I use normally Mac OS 7.5 or Mac OS 7,but i have too System 6.0.8 and system 5. And the Mac ROM is obligatory too. OK,I will download Stuffit Expander 3.5.1.,but for de Shufflepuck Cafe I don't need nothing more,the image that you send me is the solution for me for this game.Smile

So you are running 7.5 as host for MiniVMac?
In that case, I would recommend installing Stuffit5 on the host, to inflate all kind of files you might want to try. Further, I would create a small image with DiskCopy that can be mounted by the host or the emulator to transfer files. I found a transfer image easier than MinVmac´s Import/Export feature.

What kind of computers do you own, by the way?
You may know, that there are other free Mac emulators around.
BasiliskII emulates Motorola 680x0 Macs running Mac OS 7 to 8.
SheepShaver emulates a IBM/Motorola PPC 604 running Mac OS 7.5.3 to 9.0.4.
Both are quite fast and reliable - available for a couple of host systems like Windows, GNU/Linux and OSX.
For me SheepShaver is THE platform to play around with. I am hardly using my vintage Macs any more.

Yeah,I know that exists other emulators,but for the games that I like to download,I read that Mini vMac is the most appropiate,I read that Mini vMac is for the most old games,for the eighties,and Basilisk ans SheepShaver are for de 90s and late 90s.But I told you that I'm not an expert,so I probably do any mistakes.
