I'm probably going to do any% runs on scummvm from now on anyways just because it's just a way better conversion compared to GOG and doesn't crash all the time for no reason. if you want a comparison, the fastest time i've been able to get on scummvm has been a 55 (compared to my improveable 53 PB on GOG). loading times are also longer across the board. this makes it the fastest version for speedrunning all pages.Īs for any%, it's probably not faster than GOG even with cutscene skips because the fireplace animations now play at the correct speed, making them slower. Get you pointed in the right direction.The latest version of scummVM now supports Myst, and it allows you to skip cutscenes without modifying the game. There's something called PearPC, that'll probably work.
That combined with a copy of the old Mac OS should get you started. There might be an open source PowerPC emulator somewhere.
This wasn't always the case, when they transitioned to OSX, you could still run OS Classic programs, and when they switched to x86, you could still run OSX PowerPC programs, but anything earlier was unplayable. If you have the old Mac version, I'm afraid short of finding a PowerPC emulator somewhere, you're SOL, since Apple has done like the console gaming industry, and effectively razed their entire back catalog by obliterating backwards compatibility. If you're looking at running an old copy of Myst on a modern PC, I'd recommend DosBox or something, assuming you have the Dos version. The old LucasArts games did, but Myst did not. Just because it's an adventure game, does not mean it uses SCUMM. Since when did Myst run on SCUMM? I think you're conflating things.
