HOW TO MAKE A MASTER GAME DISK FOR THE MACINTOSH
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For this procedure, you will need three disks:
|
|
|
|
[] a blank disk
|
|
[] the Mac Create disk (Game, DiskUtil, Set File, Examine File)
|
|
[] the Mac Utility disk (TFTP, Masterize)
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new game disk by copying the entire Create disk onto the
|
|
blank disk. The recommended copier is DiskUtil (or another sector copier),
|
|
since using the Finder copier changes the desktop arrangement. Eject
|
|
both disks, put away the Create disk and reboot.
|
|
|
|
2. Put the Utility disk in Drive 1 and the new game disk in Drive 2.
|
|
Rename the game disk and game file (e.g. "Game Disk" becomes "ZORK I Disk"
|
|
and "Game" becomes "ZORK I").
|
|
|
|
3. Run the TFTP program [*]. When a directory box appears, click on the
|
|
Drive button to show the game disk directory. Select the game file and click
|
|
on the Open button. Set up the DEC 20, then press any key to start receiving.
|
|
The download should take less than five minutes.
|
|
|
|
[*] For TFTP, a special Mac TFTP cable, with pin 20 cut, is required,
|
|
plus a modem eliminator cable.
|
|
|
|
4. Run the Hancock program to signaturize the disk. When it asks for
|
|
a code, use the two-character Production Department code for the game you
|
|
are making (e.g., Z1, M3, S4, etc -- a full list is on our Order Forms).
|
|
|
|
5. Use the Get Info menu command to Lock the game file against
|
|
accidental deletion.
|
|
|
|
6. If this game has a special boot screen, copy it to the game disk.
|
|
Always rename it as StartUpScreen.
|
|
|
|
7. Throw away the Production folder on the game disk, and empty the
|
|
trash. The game disk should be left in the "opened" position on the desktop.
|
|
From the File menu, eject both disks from the machine.
