obviously get steem from http://steem.atari.st

We're through the looking glass here, people.

Yes! Thank you little naps! I was just about to ask the same question but was putting it off Did you also try googling 'nodd switch' only to find a Beaverton, CO local foods site and a wikipedia page about a sub-par rock band?

you need to spawn steem directly from the darwine helper application. this will allow you to pass arguments to the application, including the vital 'nodd' parameter.

did you do this?

so i am using the darwine helper application, I open "steem.exe" (from the steem v3_2 folder) from the application window. and it pops up an error telling me that "Steem.exe has exited wit an error, have a look at the Log window" and then the log window tells me this.
that is the exact process that i took

fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps OpenGL implementation supports 16 vertex samplers and 16 total samplers
fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps Expected vertex samplers + MAX_TEXTURES(=8) > combined_samplers
fixme:file:MoveFileWithProgressW MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH unimplemented
fixme:ddraw:DllCanUnloadNow (void): stub


I can also say that I am not sure what exactly is the "nodd" parameter.

It runs! I'm still getting a direct sound initialization failure on every startup but I think I can figure that one out... hopefully. Thanks gwem - for the help and the amazing software : )

it fails directsound initialisation... but sound still works = don't care

of course we all want the 'insert' key, which is important for trackers and max don't have it.

use the steem shortcut editor to make a new shortcut (its the lightning icon) - assign it to anything

then you can go in and edit the file it creates, which can be found without too much imagination in the shortcuts folder of your steem installation

you'll have something like this:

Shortcut5_Action=0
Shortcut5_ID1=47
Shortcut5_ID2=65535
Shortcut5_ID3=65535
Shortcut5_Key=45 ***************
Shortcut5_Char=0
Shortcut5_MacroFile=

modify the line i've highlighted with stars, it should read 45 for the insert key.

ok, now the million dollar question: how the hell do I stop emulation on steem, since the mac keyboard doesn't have pause/break key?

gwem, you're a true hero.
