DAIKOUKAI JIDAI III: COSTA DEL SOL - MP3 EDITION 1.0, FOR MAC OS X

This is KOEI's Japanese Macintosh game (1997, version 1.2) as a Mac OS X
application. It runs on Mac OS X 10.4 on a PowerPC Mac, without the
Classic environment.

It is the MP3 edition for Mac OS 9, unchanged: the game starts without its
CD, and plays its music from 27 MP3 files in the Music folder, through
QuickTime. A small program, the host, loads the game's own PowerPC code
into a Mac OS X application and gives it the parts of the classic Mac OS
that Mac OS X left out: a 256-colour screen, the old sound calls, and the
help.


INSTALL

1. Open this disk image.
2. Drag the folder "Costa del Sol" to your hard disk. Keep Data, Movie and
   Music in it, beside the application.
3. Open the application in that folder. Its name is the game's Japanese
   title.

The game saves into its Data folder, so play it from a disk you can write
to. Its saved games are the Mac OS 9 edition's: copy SAVEDATA.CDS and
ACCDATA.CDS from one Data folder to the other.


THE HELP

The game's help file opens in your web browser (Help menu), as pages made
from the help file on the CD: the same text, pictures and links. The
game's own help viewer is a Mac OS 9 program and cannot run on Mac OS X.


REQUIREMENTS

- A PowerPC Macintosh with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). It was tried on 10.4.11.
- 210 MB of disk space.
- The game's text is Japanese; Mac OS X has the Japanese fonts it needs.


LIMITS

- Tried under emulation (QEMU, a G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.11), not yet on a

- Tried: the opening, the main menu, a new game in Lisbon, the town's
  buildings, saving and loading, setting sail, music and sound, the help,
  both window sizes, hiding the desktop, quitting. Not tried yet: the
  battles, the duels and the card game.
