Hello Paris users on Mac OS 9,
I'm looking for working copies of Paris 3.0 and Paris 2.0 softwares, I remember these were available some time ago on a wiki, but that wiki seems to be offline now.
Let me know where I can obtain those copies/installers for Mac. I'd be appreciated.
Thanks,
MFO

Paris 3.0 is dead on macOS9 at this point. Intelligent Devices hasn’t provided challenge codes for years, and the chance that some random coder will develop a workaround that will allow you to regain the use of your PARIS hardware on OS9 is effectively zero. In fact if there’s anyone left who’s still working on PARIS 3.0 on Mac OS9 in 2020 they are on borrowed time - the arrow is already in flight, it just hasn’t hit yet. the moment their hard disk dies (and some day it will), that’s it - the installers can still be hunted out but there will be no re-authorization possible.
Things are completely different on the PC side of the house though - development has been pretty exciting, tons of new possibilities abound, and workarounds exist for all those issues. So in 2020 you basically have two choices, a) write your Paris rig off or b) grab a PC and jump back in! If you think about it, the last PC PARIS knew about would have been 2001, so a 2010 thrift-store computer would make it feel like it just woken up and rocketed into the unthinkable future.
3.0 sessions can be opened in 2.0, but to make a long story short, it involves first opening them in 3.0 and saving them back with certain 3.0-specific features disabled, which doesn’t really help you much. You could always find a Paris user to do this for you - you wouldn’t need to send the audio, just the .ppj. Edmund once detailed how to do this and I think it was on the wiki, but that’s down temporarily until we find time to upgrade/migrate it). I’ll see if I can find it somewhere.
