faust93 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 SheepShaver and Basilisk II compiled without a problem! Get latest sources from CVS and build staticaly against SDL. Here is a screenshot and download link for SheepShaver: Screenshot of SheepShaver running on my Intelmac: http://s5.ultrashare.net/hosting/fs/acc807c58cddf5fd/ Link to Basilisk II will come later (do some patches, still need testing..) SheepShaver's speed is acceptable on my i915GL box and Basilisk II just fly in fullscreen mode. :-) Sound works ok. but network is unimplemented under OSX. Although I think it's possible, later I'll try to do it... PS: Basilisk II is a m68k emulator capable to run System 7.x - Mac OS 8.1 SheepShaver is a PPC emulator capable to run Mac OS 8.5 - Mac OS 9.0.4 Faust93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Erm.. I dunno how significant it is, but Sheepshaver was involved in the screwup that "ate my harddrive" last night.. first symptom was disk imges that refused to open or unmount, then my home directory turned into a file, finally I ended up having to do a clean install, losing everything on my desktop and some of the stuff in my home dir. Like I said, sheepshaver might be coincidental, and it's an OS in development, after all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, sheepshaver might be coincidental, and it's an OS in development, after all.... It's all ok with your HDD. Did you hear about HFS+ and extended attributes? Warn to all SheepShaver users - set "extfs" key in your config file to separate folder created specially for exchange between osx and classic, not root folder / !!! You cant see some of your files and folders cause classic macos set some extended attrs to these files and osx for some reason did not uderstand it correctly. To remove extended attrs from file or folder use SetFile command. /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a avbstclinmedz MyFile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Thanks! that sort of works, but needs me to restart the finder to see the changes, otherwise it hangs. The tip about setting the extfs folder to somewhere specific for that purpose is probably a good one, I set it to my home dir, and thats where it all went wrong. (Edit) Sure enough, all my files were fine! however I may have done some other damage, as I now have odd behaviour in Deer Park.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportman Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 how do i set "extfs" in my config file, i have no idea? cause i want to use sheapshaver without screwing up my hdd. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 as per the READ ME FIRST!.rtf, the setting is in your .sheepshaver_prefs. Set it to a new empty folder, that won't be used for anything else, as per Faust93's advice above. If you get it to work, I'd like to know what version af MacOS you used. It refused to install the 9.0 I had here, I know I've got an 8.? somewhere in the attic... Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it working, os9.04 is latest supported OS for sheepshaver, can't get into full screen mode though. It boots rather slow, but once booted it's usable. Changing windows mode in prefs doesn't work in osx as it does in win or linux though. If I could just compile the latest alpha version of mac-on-mac (which always fails), or could find a precompiled version of it just like the 0.1 version, it would be much faster as it isn't really the same kind of emulation.

Pu7o Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Mac-on-mac couldn't possibly work for at least two reasons: 1. Mac-on-mac virtualizes a PowerPC using your real PowerPC hardware. Since you don't have a PowerPC to begin with, it wouldn't be able to work. 2. Mac-on-mac isn't Tiger-compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spawn Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Can Someone please post a complete install procedure !!! i'm new to sheepsaver and i would like to get it to work.. but having some problems ... also with prefs (how do i create it and where i put it in my system to get it to work) any help would be great i have 8.6 rom and disk image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salax Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi there, Although i have managed in the past to use SheepShaver on my winblows pc with success, i can't seem to manage it through OSX86. One thing i noticed after opening the SheepShaver icon by choosing show package contents, is that in the folder where the application is (Terminal icon), there's also a prefs file (another terminal icon). When i start the app from within the folder and terminal shows up, i can see the message that the ROM file can't be opened. I have tried every single possible combination, renaming the rom, i have also tried by having a prefs file in the emulator's main folder, i have also tried 3 different ROM images. One that's the 8.6rom with a size of 1.9 MB, another from my faithful 7100 which is 3 MB, and another from my 7300 (with G3@400) which is 4MB in size. Can someone shoot any ideas this way? And i'd appreciate people sharing their prefs files with us, so we can compare. I'll be sending mine off soon. I have read every thing i could find from the help guides and file sites,but nothing seems to have worked. Thanx in advance.

salax Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Well, as about the ROM image thing, i just tried both the 8.5 and 8.6 OS CDROM files, and the symptoms are still there! Anyway, i re-downloaded the latest file, and still the same behavior. One thing that's weird about the prefs file, is that in the exampes and guides everyone seems to mention it as a .sheepshaver_prefs name. If you try to create your own using "." as a prefix, the system tells you that this is a system prefix and the file will be hidden. Try removing that kind of filenames! Has anyone used the prefs file without the . prefix in front? Can someone tell us all a step-by-step way to success, and with what version of the Mac OS? Thanx once again in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx once again in advance Hi, You just copy the sheepshaver_prefs file to your home folder, edit it so it reflects your situation and save it. Then, in a terminal window you make sure you are in your home folder and enter: "cp sheepshaver_prefs .sheepshaver_prefs" and you are all set. http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:...cos_x_ppc_intel Cat_7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
