Boots fine, image loads & boots fine, but quickdraw 3D and quicktime make Mac OS 9.0.4 crash. Hi, Uli, i'm having some problems with sheepshaver on my 2.16GHz intel imac.

With TomeViewer you can extract files from the Tome, in this case that would be the 'Mac OS ROM' file. smi (SMIs are the old version of DMGs - and sorry, you need a PPC Mac to run TomeViewer, which essentially is a rough classic equivalent to Pacifist). Use that to open the installer tome file in that. Uli Kusterer replies: There's a classic app available on the net called 'TomeViewer'.

And then to dig out some of the other apps I'd like to have on my Intel Mac.

It was a great feeling to run the HyperCard Mailing List CD on my Intel Mac, and HyperCard 2.4 and SuperCard 3 also boot and run there, and my OMO trial version, and I'll probably now try installing a System 7 Sound -> AIFF converter app to get all my nice old sound files into Mac OS X (looks like QuickTime doesn't do System 7 Sound files anymore). Okay, the setup assistant crashed, but since that tries to do some hardware stuff, I'm not too surprised about that, and a reboot later the system just seems to work. So, I booted up SheepShaver into my old 8.6, ran the updater, and whaddaya know, it worked. Update: I recently realized where I had backed up a System 9.x installer, and when I found it I was delighted to see that it was 9.0.

It's not perfect by any means: A few keycodes on the keyboard seem to be off (guess it wants a US keyboard), a few things seem to crash, e.g QuickTime Player when I try to open the good old annoying 'QuickTime Pro Information' file it insists on saving to my desktop.īut hey, this is free, and it's the only Classic environment I have for my Mac so far. Once you selected the sound input device, I had a classic MacOS on my Mac Mini. To fix that, I brought up the old 'Sound' control panel (the new 'Monitors & Sound' won't do), which had been installed under 'Apple Extras' onto my hard disk.

(So, just quit the assistant and hope for the best.) I took the opportunity and inserted a CD with the 8.6 update on it, started it back up and installed the update.Īfter a restart, there was no sound. It hung after a few settings, so I had to force-quit it. A restart later, I went through the installation assistant. The Mac started up, realized the disk image had no OS, and booted from my CD, where I ran through the installer just like on a real Mac. Then I inserted my 8.5 System CD ROM for a Classic Mac and clicked 'Start' to boot. Once I had my ROM file, I selected it in the SheepShaverGUI setup utility, created a disk on the first page, upped the hard disk size (1024MBs) and RAM on a later one (512MBs), and increased the refresh rate (otherwise it'll run just fine, but seem slow due to, effectively, 'dropped frames'). Luckily, this MacOnLinux Download Page has a link to a ROM Updater on Apple's site that includes a ROM file for a Mac from the 8.5 era, so I didn't have to use an extracting app to get the ROM from my old 7200. Sadly, I skipped 9.0.4, and ShapeShifter doesn't support 9.1 for which I have a system CD, nor does it support PCI-based Macs like my old G4. Aforementioned XLR8YourMac page contains a link to a MacOS 9.0.4 updater that contains the 'Mac OS ROM' file, that you can extract by using TomeViewer on any Classic-capable Mac. Of course, like most emulators, it needs a ROM.

It even comes with a little X11 GUI that lets you set up the config file easily. On XLR8YourMac's Classic on Intel Macs page, you can find a recent experimental snapshot of SheepShaver for Intel Macs. The neat part about this is that it's been ported to Intel and thus runs on all currently selling Macs. Sheep Shaver is a PowerPC Mac emulator that originally started out on BeOS, but later got ported to Linux and Darwin as well. you need to know about the Mac keyboardĭuring a search of the HyperCard Maling List archives, I just stumbled across Sheep Shaver.
