Hi tduke,
In OS 10.7 and onwards, the user library folder is hidden. To access it, hold down option while clicking on the Go menu in the Finder and the Library item should appear.
(The link to the Saved Games folder inside the application package works only while the application is running.)
Ah, turns out I was looking in the wrong library folder - I was looking in the Macintosh HD/Library folder instead of the user level folder. Found the save files. Cheers!
Oh, never mind, I completely skipped page 2 where my question was answered.
m3r error: $M3dat\RSRC.m3r
So, first things first: Thank you very much for putting obviously so much time in creating a solution to play Myst on 10.7. Today I tried the installation on my Mountain Lion (10.8). I didn't have the CDs anymore, but I kept their content because I used the other method until it didn't work anymore which needed the four discs in the same folder as the application. So I created four .cdr-disk images with the names and contents of each CD and your installation file went through smoothly. But when I try to launch the game, I get following error message after a few seconds and screen adjustments:
I just get the option to click OK.Code:m3r error: $M3dat\RSRC.m3r
After some more screen adjustments and a few seconds I get following message:
For those who didn't understand what I tried to show with the underlinings: My two options are Yes and No.Code:Exception raised Unhandled privileged instruction at address 0x94458740. Do you wish to debug it ? Yes/No
If I click "Yes", the application quits (without any error messages) after a few seconds; if I click "No", the application quits immediately, again without any error messages.
Is there any solution for this? I was really happy to see there finally is a solution to get Myst III Exile working on my mac; I'm a great fan of the game and really want to play it again. I'd be very grateful if this finds any attention and even more grateful if there is any solution
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Jannis
It sounds like it can't find the RSRC.m3r file. Right-click on the app and choose "Show package contents", then navigate to Contents/Resources/M3Data and see if the file is in there. If it isn't, see if you can find it somewhere in the contents of your CDs and copy it in there.
Thanks for your fast answer.
I forgot to mention that I of course tried all that. The file isn't either in the package nor on my backups of the CDs. Strange, because I played the game several times through with the old method which means it should work just fine. Can someone maybe upload that file somewhere so I can integrate it?
Location of "RSRC.m3r" File
On my Mac, the "RSRC.m3r" document is hidden, inside the hidden folder "M3Data," inside my "Myst III Exile" folder. I used "Show Hide Invisible Files" v1.6 to see the file.

Could have thought about that for myself. Found it, integrated it in the right folder and it's working now, thank you very much. But I don't have any ingame-sound. And am I allowed to change the ingame spoken language? I am aware that subtitles have to be turned off, that is the reason I'd like to have the ingame speech language on my native language (german).
There is almost nothing in the "M3Data" folder in the application except
while the folder TEXT includesCode:OVER101.m3o RSRC.m3r TEXT
Should I just import the complete "M3Data" folder wich includes the foldersCode:ENGLISH.m3t language.m3u
into the application? It seems they include the game sounds.Code:COMM EN_M EN_T ENCH ENDD ENEM ENLC ENLI ENPP ENSI HOLO LEIS LEMT LEOF LEOS LI_M LI_T LIDR LIFO LISP LISW MA_M MA_T MACA MAIS MALL MASS MATO MAWW NA_M NA_S NACH OVER101.m3o RSRC.m3r TEXT TOHB TOHO
Did it and worked. Thanks a lot!
