There are two types of games supported by Hypseus and these are _Daphne_ and _Singe_. It's beyond the scope of this document to describe these game formats in detail but there are many resources available online for this. The setup differs a bit between these two types however, and you need to use an alternative emulator entry in ES-DE to launch Singe games.

#### Apple Macintosh
The _macintosh_ system provides emulation using Basilisk II for older Macintosh II and Quadra computers and SheepShaver for more modern PowerPC-based models.
The macintosh system uses the Basilisk II emulator for older Macintosh II and Quadra computers and SheepShaver for more modern PowerPC-based models.
Emulation for this system works quite differently than other platforms as it's not possible to launch games individually from ES-DE. Instead ES-DE only acts as a game browser which simply launches the emulator. The game then needs to be manually started from inside Mac OS.
@ -1467,6 +1497,8 @@ As for game locations it's possible to uncompress the games inside the ~/ROMs/ma
The setup of SheepShaver is essentially identical to that of Basilisk II as these two emulators are developed by the same team and are therefore very similar.
On macOS you need to download the separate Basilisk II GUI application to configure the emulator and with SheepShaver you need to start the emulator using a command line option to point to a valid ROM file. Only then can you reach the Preferences from the menu (this is however only needed the first time you setup SheepShaver). Quite a strange and unusual approach.
To add a game entry in ES-DE just create an empty file with the .game extension, for example `Marathon.game`. This entry can then be scraped and edited in the same way as any regular system. But as mentioned above, ES-DE will only act as a browser and individual games cannot be started directly. So when you launch a game, the emulator will boot into the Mac OS desktop and you will have to manually navigate to your game folder to run the game.
To launch a game entry using SheepShaver instead of Basilisk II you just need to select the alternative emulator _SheepShaver (Standalone)_.
