Installation problem in BasiliskII with Titanic: Adventure out of Time

I downloaded the Titanic game out of nostalgia, having played it a lot as a child. Using a guide, I eventually managed to set up a working BasiliskII emulator, with Mac OS 7.5.3. I extracted the .sit file using StuffIt Expander and have run in to a problem. I placed the INSTALL_MAC folder into my shared folder between my laptop and my emulator, and am able to open it in Basilisk. However, when I try to run the Titanic item, I get the error message "Sorry! File error at line 1275 (code - 120) Click OK to return to Finder". Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with my downloaded game? Any help would be greatly appreciated Smile

Out of safety reasons; move the .sit archive, un-extracted, from your shared folder onto the disk of BasiliskII. Then expand the .sit-archive.

Still having problems, I have the Titanic1.toast.sit file on my Basilisk desktop, as well as the expanded Titanic1.toast file, but am unsure what to do now. Running the .toast file fails in Basilisk, so I run it in OS X and just copied the INSTALL_MAC folder onto my Basilisk desktop, which is still giving me the same error message. I'm sure I'm just doing something simple wrong. Should I be copying more than just the INSTALL_MAC folder into Basilisk? The supplied instructions seemed to say this is all I needed to do.

Try; From on your Basilisk II drive (not the shared drive or OS X drive) mounting the ".toast" file using the Virtual CD/DVD Utility found here. Once mounted on Basilisk's desktop run the installer.

if a d/l is a .cdr or .toast file, it is a CD image, which could be added to the emulator's drives list (like MikeTomTom wrote), like your Basilisk boot disk. Then it should be mounted inside the emulator w/o problems (if running Mac OS 7.5 and newer, but previous Mac OS versions needs a CD driver software installed in the emulator to mount CD images).

And remembet to lock the .cdr or .tiast file in your OS before mounting it.

Try BII with a OS8 system. You should be able to run the Virtual CD/DVD Utility with 8 to mount the CDs in the emulator and copy the needed files from CD to your emulator HDD.
The game seems to run so far, but I only had a short look.
