New application for Mac OS 8-9!

Thanks for all the effort and work you put into this.

This is something I always wanted for my classic Macs, since it reminds me a bit of iGame on the Amiga.

Really looking forward to the updates. I finally have my old Macs properly set up again, so i just got registered!

I watched the Classic Mac Gaming video again and saw the performance drop that was mentioned there, so it would be really cool to see improvements on that side.

If you need a beta tester, I have multiple machines here ranging from first-gen PPCs to late dual G4s, besides Intel machines as well.
Thanks @TekTherapy!

I'm very close to releasing the latest update, just fixing the last minor bugs and some fixes for the incoming OSX build.

That was a great video and there was some excellent feedback which I've addressed. The performance drop is fixed, I mistakenly set the default tracking poll to fire every 5ms instead of 5s!! o_O That along with many other optimisations have made it so GameBox now has minimal impact on the CPU now (barely registering in performance graphs while in-game).

I would be really grateful if you could give the latest build a test which can be downloaded here: https://files.mac-attic.com/downloads/manticoresw/gamebox/test/

I'll put an OSX build at that URL later tonight in case you're keen on trying that one also.

Thank you! :)
