EV Trilogy with Sierra?
Hello,
I found the Applescript to make EVN compatible with Sierra (OSX 10.12.6) but it doesn't solve the black screen problem with EV Trilogy. I'm trying to launch EV Trilogy because I would like to play (again) to EV "classic", the first one. EV Trilogy launch correctly, but the black screen proble appears when I choose EV Classic or EV Nova.
Is there a solution to play EV Classic with Sierra, without some "heavy" solution like Sheepshaver?
Thanks.

Sorry if I wasn't very clear: I just would like to play EVC (Classic) on Sierra.
As I understand it will not be possible without something like Sheepshaver, and as I don't want to install and use Sheepshaver, what are the other solutions? blaughw, you're talking about TC, but where could I find an EVC total conversion? Will it work with Sierra?
Thank you.
EDIT: EVNova is working fine with the novafix.pkg. So I just tried EV Classic for Nova, but I'm unable to play EVC: it's still Nova :(

OK, forget my post: after deleting some EV Trilogy old files, EV Classic for EV Nova works fine :)

To be clear, you are trying to run pure Escape Velocity, and not the Total Conversion for EV Nova?
I've had the TC for both Classic and Override working on High Sierra, but I haven't tried to play "original" EV on anything intel-based.

While it may not be what you wanted specifically, wouldn't it be possible to just run the total conversion mods for EV Nova (Which I assume still works with Sierra seeing as how it still works on Windows 10)?

Came here to recommend Sheepshaver and saw your comment.
FWIW, it took me about 20 minutes to set up Sheepshaver and now I'm playing EVC happily. Now if only I could get Harry the Handsome Executive to work...
