Rebel Assault 106 Updt

This is a patch from LucasArts that updates Rebel Assault for Macintosh to version 1.06. It replaces the application binary to fix a problem on certain configurations, in particular Power Macintoshes, that triggered a "Bad frame header id" error message during play. Distributed by Cliff Tuel via Info-Mac in November 1994.

What It Fixes

Earlier builds of Rebel Assault on Mac would intermittently halt with a "Bad frame header id" error, most often on Power Macintoshes and PowerPC accelerator cards. The 1.06 patch resolves that frame-streaming issue.

PowerPC Native Build

For users on a Power Macintosh or a PowerPC-equipped accelerator card, version 1.06p (in the "Power Mac" folder of the patch) is a native-mode binary. LucasArts noted vastly increased performance compared to the 68k application running under emulation.

How to Apply

The download is a replacement application rather than a delta patch. Drop the appropriate 1.06 or 1.06p binary into your existing Rebel Assault folder alongside the original game data.
