Any luck in getting it to run? Having the same issue.

Thanks. I don't have the DVD, I was trying to use the .dmg and "no_cd" versions here. I also downloaded the manual but still getting the same error

by scott Praed - 2020, February 14 - 3:38am

You have to reinstalled the DVD but Manual is also on website.

by Manlio - 2020, February 14 - 3:14am

Could you help me understand how you got it working? I keep getting an error telling me that the "ChessMaster 9000 Manual.pdf" is not part of the installation, and to re-install from the DVD. Thanks in advance

I can verify that Chessmaster 9000 works with Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave!

Installer doesn't seem to work for me via Rosetta on 10.6.8, at least on a 2008 Mac Pro.

I learned from another thread that BetterZip 1.8.3 can be used to extract these files (they work sort of like a rar archive series). Great up - thank you!

by remanifest - 2019, May 3 - 3:25pm

im not sure what to do with the .00x files once they're downloaded. i tried to unzip but zip said 6 files had no zipfile directory. command at terminal was unzip "*.zip*"
