I was wondering if anyone knows how to run happyweed on pc. I play it at school with the powermac 6500. I got the ardis executor but it runs so fast you can't play it. Can anyone tell me how to run this on pc?

    There isn't a PC version that I know of. If there is, let me know. Are you telling me that if there isn't a pc version, you can't play at all.

    You need to use an emulator to run OS 9 or less on your PC:

    Then you load the program into the emulator.

    I haven't used Sheepshaver before but emulators generally work the same. You need to install a classic OS onto a disk image and boot that system using the emulator. If you have an OS 9 system disk, it might let you install it.

    I have never done any of the stuff you're talking about. Is there a place that could give me a step by step guide?

    Here's one but I don't think you're going to like it, it looks like it might be quite complicated:

    I've seen a suggestion to use mini-vMac for the PC:



    http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/

    http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/doc/start.html



    This was referenced from the underdogs site, which hosts older games like happyweed:

    Who'd have thought running a 68k game would take so much work.

    Happyweed, alas, did not make it through Apple's review process. But here's the one that did:



    http://skyhighgames.net/happycat.html



    This version costs 99 cents but a Lite version should be available soon as well! The game is based on the original Happyweed code from 1993. We also have a facebook page where you can win promo codes, merchandise, etc.
