Not found error

When I try to start the game it brings up an error saying ">>Pop-Pop<<" not found. Do i have to download an extra component?? Im running it off an old iMac (minimum requirements) if it makes any difference.

hmm- haven't heard this one before.

I'd try re-installing the game (after deleting the current one off your hard drive.) If it still happens then re-download it. You should get all the parts you need (there is no additional download stuff.)

What system? OS9? OS x?

------------------

I have the same problem when I startet pop-pop. I delete the programm-folder and take a new download from macgamesfiles.com – but the problem continues. The machine is a G3/300, System 9.9.2, German

The System is correct ť9.2.2Ť, German - sorry

Its running 8.4 (minimum requirement). I downloaded it twice (once from abrosia and once from one of the other servers. Both gave me the error.

oh, i tried renaming Pop-pop to >>pop-pop<< (dont ask me why) and it then couldnt find >>>>pop-pop<<<<.

Anyone seen/fixed this problem??

If you have a US version of Mac OS 9, try that, just maybe...

There is no System 8.4

pop-pop should work just fine on systems back to System 8.6, but this error reminds me of one we saw on pre-OS9 systems that don't have Internet Config installed. If Internet Config is not installed on your system, you can (url="http://"ftp://ftp.quinn.echidna.id.au/Others/Quinn/Config/InternetConfig2.0.2.sit")download it(/url) and see if it fixes your problem.

I get the same error on MacOS 8.6. The machine is a Power100 (PowerMac 8100) with a Sonnettech G3 upgrade. I installed InternetConfig without any change.

I'm having this same frustrating problem. Please help. I'm running OS 9.0.4 on a 333mhz imac. The internet config is loaded. I really want to try this game. Can anyone please help?!?

ok i think i have this figured out. its a bug, my bug, sorry. i'll fix it in the next release, but for now here is what you should do:

make sure you have the following installed in your extensions folder:
InputSprocket Extension <- this is the most likely cause of your problems
Sound Manger

let me know if that helps,

wrangler

That worked for me. Thanks! I really love the game!

I have the InputSprocket Extension (1.7.3, from Game Sprockets 1.7.5) and Sound Manager (3.7 from Quicktime 6.0) both installed, but the problem remains. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you for the help...

Hello,

We are having the same problem. We have the sprocket extension and sound manager installed. We are running MacOS 9.04 on a PowerMac 7100 with a NewerTechnology 240 MHz G3 upgrade card. We really want to try out this game. We are on Ambrosia's mailing list so I hope that you send out a notice when this bug gets fixed.

Hello,

Is there any news on this? We would really like to try this game. We eventually end up purchasing most of Ambrosia's titles.

Thanks

OK, I e-mailed Ambrosia help and they responded, suggesting that I download and install the latest and greatest game sprockets from Apple. I did this and it didn't help. Maybe Wrangler could tell us when he expects to have the bug fixed.

Thanks

I downloaded the 'latest and greatest' Game Sprockets from Apple and ran the game without success, as well. I think the solution to the problem is elsewhere...
