Thanks for this information, I've to try again then.

Is it an issue with the game or Sheepshaver? They added preliminary support for mixed-mode CDs (bin/cue) a while back. Perhaps you could try making a bin/cue of it and see how that goes.

I'm in luck to run the original media.

Yes, you need to create a Mixed-Mode CD-ROM of the mp3 files and the data track
(which is "Audio Title" #1).
If I had not converted to mp3 to upload this stuff, the file would be way to large to be uploaded.

As the game doesn't recognize its Audio CD partition, this seems to be the same problem as in Settlers 2

From the looks of things the Audio CD partition is all mp3s. You'll probably need to uncompress them into proper CD audio.

SheepShaver refuses to run this game (it supports software mode, too), because in SheepShaver the game can't find its audio CD partition, even if it has been mounted.
