In case you are up for this, it would probably be wise and useful to explain how to set up the emulation primarily with screenshots.
I received an e-mail from a non-native English speaker who requested a tutorial with pictures.

Looks detailed.
Maybe the folks at https://www.emaculation.com/forum/ would enjoy seeing it.

I'll add the link to PoPOT in a bit, will update this post when done.
[Edit: Done. Also mentioned your guide on Twitter and Facebook.]

When I use the link to the file you have provided (On the downloading Prince Of Persia page) I keep getting taken to a dead end saying 'Nothing here. Move along'

Jalal has also added the PoP1.hfs to http://www.popuw.com/mac.html
This means you could add an additional download mirror for that file at:

Fun little detail about this port: if time runs out while the game is in upside-down mode, the princess room is also upside-down.

Spoiler: show
https://realxcv.com/InstPOP1/Mac1B.html

These are both about BasiliskII, right?
My version has no control strip (mentioned at Mac1B.html).
Nor does it seem to have the Monitors control panel (mentioned at Mac2B.html).
Might be just a Linux thing, or something.
Where would the Monitors control panel be if my version of the emulator had one?
What I mean is, which menu would I have to open, or icon I'd have to click to find it.
[Edit: Never mind. I was using System70_boot.dsk, which it turns out is a too bare-bones System 7.]
