Thanks, thus far it hasn't yielded anything useful as the decompilation fails at some point, we should give it another try in the future !

Just so you know: You won’t be able to play WO2097 on any recent Mac, as it’s a legacy program that only runs on PowerMacs and these featuring Rosetta. OSX 10.6 was the last OS to feature Rosetta and newer Macs cannot run it at all – virtual machines being the only possible solution here.
Up to a certain version of mac OSX you could still run in classic mode (was it tiger? Or panther? Or maybe even earlier?) which allowed you to run oldschool mac applications, if you don't have that, you can always dust of an old G3 or G4 (loved those machines) otherwise indeed, emulation is the way to go, and it's not easy, but definitely possible, SheepShaver is what i use, it's kind of complex to set up, but once it's running it works pretty much flawlessly ;)

I have got it. I don't remember anything about the contents of the patch though (which files exactly), so I only send you the .app itself for now.Quote:

I don't really remember how it was ... anyway the emulation itself within VirtualBox seems doomed as the only usable version would be 10.6 but it simply panics ... seems like it's the unsupported processor (Core I7) driver doing this :paperbag
I had 1.6.8 running on an i7 Machine (from 2010, that is) and still have it on an old 2007 MacBook, if that helps. But I have no clue about the wizardry you guys do with those games ;)
It's for looking at it using a debugger to see whether we can understand/discover a bit more about the game's formats ... ultimately the most needed things are figured out but it'd be a bonus to unveil other things. The most interesting things are the scenery animations.
Just seen that patched iAtkos distribution thing but as you've laid out it's not really essential.
EDIT: Are the models for the ships easy enough to extricate from the game? I really want to 3D print some WipEout ships to test out my local 3D printing facilities but can't find any models of any of the ships from the WO games.
Sorry guys, hadn't discovered the other thread before posting that.
