This is where SheepShaver may be useful for Mac TR players. This is fine for those who are downloading already compiled, ready-to-play levels in TR4 format, but they might come unstuck with levels that are downloaded as WADs (the TOM file, along with other WADs), and which need to be compiled using the ' Tom2PC' converter included with the Mac TRLE - this converter is a classic Mac programme that can't be run in Leopard on any PPC Mac, or on any Intel Mac at all.

The TRLE includes a carbon Level Player that should run natively in Leopard on a PPC Mac, and in Rosetta on an Intel Mac. It's beyond the scope of this post to go into detail - for more information on the requirements, installation, and running of SheepShaver, follow the links below:Īlthough SheepShaver isn't a gaming solution, it does have some relevance to those people who are still using the Mac TRLE ( Tomb Raider Level Editor). It requires a classic Mac OS install disc (not tied to a particular Mac model), and a Mac ROM image. SheepShaver is not a commercial product and is in development, and as such requires some dedication by the end user to install and run. It doesn't support games, and probably never will, but that doesn't mean it's of no use to Mac gamers.

It enables the running of some types of classic Mac software which cannot be run any other way. SheepShaver is an open source PowerPC Macintosh emulator for use on both PowerPC and Intel Macs (and other systems, but that's outside the scope of this post).
