Unable to run Newton Tour

[eisnerguy1]

So, I'm trying to run the Newton Tour app. It comes on the MessagePad 2100 CD. I can install it without issue:

I just get this error message:

I'm using a MessagePad 2100 rom image and running Newton OS 2.1 (710031):

I've got the latest version of Einstein. I've tried the Cocoa & fltk builds for macOS and still get the same error message.

Am I missing something/doing something wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! 😃 👍🏻

Is there a link to the .pkg file, so I can try this out?

It is also available from UNNA.

Ok, fond it. The error code is a pretty generic Newton Script error (wrong number of parameters). Not sure if the app expects a very specific ROM version, or if the emulator confuses it. It's a bug that is really hard to find, especially without access to the source code. I have no idea how to even start.

If anyone has this working on a physical Newton, let me know what ROM version you have, so we can at least verify that issue. Beyond that, I can't help ATM.
