7th Guest PPC Patch

This is an UNOFFICIAL patch for The 7th Guest . I am not an employee of
Virgin Games nor do
they have any idea that I have created this patch. This application has not
been tested
extensively and may have bugs or cause problems with The 7th Guest .
However, given that
The 7th Guest already has serious problems with Power Macintoshes, and
given that I havent
experienced any problems myself while playing a patched version of the game
on my Power
Macintosh, I dont believe there is any serious risk with using this
software.

What it does
______________________________________

This application fixes a Power Macintosh incompatibility with Virgin Games
The 7th Guest .
This fixes a random crashing problem which occurs while playing the game on
Power Macintosh
computers (ie - PowerMac 6100, 7100, or 8100). This crash is caused by a
bug in the part of the
games code which controls the mouse/cursor in the game and that bug is fixed
by this patch.

How to use it
______________________________________

You must have already installed The 7th Guest on your Macintosh before you
can use this
application to patch your game. This application can only patch the copy of
The 7th Guest
which is installed on your hard drive -- it can not patch the copy on the
CD-ROM (CD-ROMs cant
be modified).

Before using this application, make sure that any virus protection software
that you are running
is turned off. This application modifies the code in your 7th Guest
application and therefore
could be mistaken for a virus by some detection software.

To patch your game, do the following:

Open the patcher application (it is named 7th Guest PPC Patch ). You will
see a standard open
file dialog when the application starts up.

Find your copy of T7GMac on your hard disk and select it. T7GMac is the
application that you
open when you want to play The 7th Guest . If you have renamed this
application, select the
renamed copy.

Click the Open button. If you double-clicked T7GMac when you selected
it, you wont need to
do this step.

Thats it! Assuming that everything went OK, you should see an alert
informing you that the
patch was successful.

If you ever re-install The 7th Guest , you will also need to re-apply this
patch.

Enjoy the game!
