            Then you MUST play POP2. The best game ever made. It works w/ dosbox on my Pi. But there are reasonable ports on the following platforms too:

            • Sega Megadrive (beta version, never officially released, downloadable from the internet!)
            • SNES (misses the epic "Escher" finale).
            • The game can also be unlocked in the Xbox NTSC version of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
            • [edit 4-5-2016] Found out that the Mac version is 640 x 480 where as the Win version is 320 x 240. Will try to play this one on my Pi via this tutorial.

              My roommate and i are trying to beat Stone Protectors for SNES. it is a beatemup that is based on a short lived straight to VHS cartoon that was Trolls geared toward boys. This is a gem i stumbled on. The combat system is pretty in depth. All the characters have unique move sets, animations, and special moves. You should really play this if yo havent already!

                  Really enjoying Ys Books 1&2 and Dynastic Hero on the PC-Engine Super CD. And when those two are finally completed, I'll start playing the Valis series.

                            I just defeated Mother Brain in the original NES Metroid!

                            I found and used images of the strategy guide from the Oct 1991 Nintendo Power magazine to beat it.

                            Ended up with this ending:

                                Succeeded to get the Mac emulator BasiliskII working on my Pi to play Prince of Persia 2 - The Shadow and the Flame. The Mac version's graphics blow any other version completely away! If anybody would like me to I could explain in more detail how I succeeded to get it working. As for now see: this topic for screenshots to compare Prince2 versions on Mac, PC, SNES and Mega Drive (my post from 13-5-2016). And this topic about compiling and running BasiliskII on the Pi 1B.

                                    If anybody would like me to I could explain in more detail how I succeeded to get it working.

                                    Ha! By coincidence, I've been trying to get this exact game running without any luck. It says it needs to run in 256 colors, but I cannot get BasiliskII to switch or even boot into 256 colors. I am running the stock config without any changes as well as MacOS 7.5.5. I feel that getting this up and running would also help in any number of the other games that must run in 256 colors, so I would be most interested to hear your method.

                                      I take it that you compiled BasiliskII (the classic Mac emulator) from source code? Then the "Hat Trick" is to compile it w/ the following option:
                                      --enable-fbdev-dga
                                      Instead of:
                                      --enable-sdl-video
                                      That also means that one needs to start BII from with in X (i.e. LXDE). I'll post my personal "howto" later. Don't have the time at this moment. But this should point you in the right direction...

                                      Good luck! :-)

                                        Thank you very much for your reply. I read through your two links from your previous posting, and the nature of the problem, as well as the solution became clear. In short, and correct me if I'm wrong, the version of Basilisk II included in RetroPie is incapable of utilizing 8-bit color unless run under SDL. This, in turn, requires that a separate Basilisk II be compiled from source enabling SDL. When this is achieved, the program must be launched from the terminal each time unless RetroPie's launch script is altered.

                                        On one hand, this seems like a lot to play a few games here and there. On there other hand, I had several Macs from this generation and remember the games quite fondly, including PoP2. This is something I will probably try in the near future, once I have finished another couple of projects I have in mind for my RetroPie setup. I feel like I could take the two links you posted, as well as your last post and run with it, but I would love to read the more sucsynced "howto" you have in mind. One question that I have for you regarding all this is how much of a performance hit does Basilisk II take on the Pi by enabling SDL?

                                          Of course if you want to continue on here or create your own thread, that is completely up to you. You're time and experience regarding this issue is greatly appreciated wherever it may find itself.

                                          Also, In the spirit of this thread, I am currently playing "Batman: The Video Game" by SunSoft for the NES from 1989, as well as "DOOM TNT: Evilution".
