A special note about using HyperCard IIGS stacks with emulators. The HyperCard IIGS play command, which is used for playing sound effects in HyperCard IIGS stacks, has been known to cause performance issues with some emulators, sometimes causing the emulator to freeze. If you are experiencing this with one of my stacks then you can edit the stack script of the HyperCard IIGS stack adding these two lines:
on play
end play
This will trap all play commands in the stack, preventing all sound effects but also, hopefully, preventing the issues with the emulator.
