So far, I've not been successful in running Dark Castle or Beyond Dark Castle on my M5126 Backlit Macintosh Portable. I've tried disk images on my FloppyEMU to no avail. I've tried (and failed)running it from my internal BlueSCSI, even versions of Dark Castle that otherwise work under System 7.5.5 in Basilisk II.

The problem that happens is that I either get memory error dialogs when launching, or it will launch but with the screen garbled. I've tried System 6.0.8 (both with and without MultiFinder loaded), and System 7.1.

Have any of your Mac Portable owners ever gotten Dark Castle to work, and if so, what version do I download to achieve that?

Thank you!
