GS OS, while made to resemble Mac OS pre-System 7, is NOT a MacOS. I can't imagine that the ][GS version of Hypercard would read standard Hypercard files.
It won't, the file formats were very different. I worked with both versions years ago. There used to be a translator available but the translation wasn't perfect. One big issue is that the GS had a different screen resolution than the Mac, and moving HC to GS caused all the images to distort and object placement was different. Even if you could get the HC stacks over to a GS emulator, it wouldn't do much good without the translation software. Also, the GS version of HyperCard only worked with HC 1.0 (if I remember right) and no 2.x stacks would load. Virtually all HC stacks available today are in 2.0 file format, so the translation software wouldn't work.
Adding to this, regarding Richmond's offer: HC version 2.2.1 is ancient, something like 10 or 12 years old. Running it on a modern Classic installation would be dicey, and more than half the later abilities of HyperCard would cause errors when running in that version. Not a viable solution in my opinion, piracy or no.
