Da Pupster Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hey, Has anyone gotten the precompiled sheepshaver binary working w/ the latest 10.4.5? Mine loads and then quickly crashes/hangs. Can someone that has it working please post which ROM they are using, along w/ a copy of their .sheepshaver_pref file?

felix Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Just a quick question, I have never run sheepshaver or any other classic emulator before but I am interested in trying. I do have an old performa and os7,8,9 install disc's, is there a way to extract the rom image from them? If so how would I go about it? My old mac don't run no more so I can't use it. I have tried to google but haven't found anything useful so far. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

cat_7 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi, As of Mac OS 8.5 there is a so-called new world rom file on the install disk. Look in the system folder for the Mac OS Rom file. You can try to use that. Cat_7 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12421-sheepshaver-problems/#findComment-83789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyman Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm trying to set up SheepShaver under Mac OS X. I copied the disk image file which I use for SheepShaver under Windows and I set up my prefs file as following: rom /Volumes/HFS+\ 3.5GB/SheepShaver/newworld86.rom disk /Volumes/HFS+\ 3.5GB/SheepShaver/Classic.HFV extfs /Volumes/HFS+\ 3.5GB/SheepShaver/Share screen win/1024/768 bootdrive 0 bootdriver 0 ramsize 67108864 frameskip 6 gfxaccel true nocdrom false nonet false ether slirp nosound true nogui true ignoresegv false jit false keycodes true keycodefile /Volumes/HFS+\ 3.5GB/SheepShaver/keycodes.sdl Can anyone tell me, if there's something wrong with the prefs parameters? Maybe something I missed? For example, I edited the prefs.sample file with TextEdit and saved the changes under SheepShaver_prefs Maybe I should have done the editing under Terminal? I guess someone should give me some hints on how to set the thing up properly. EDIT: Ah, I guess I know what's wrong. It's just a little dot I forgot, but a very important one. I'll go and test if this helps. EDIT#2: No, this didn't help. I can't figure out how to rename the file via Terminal - it would be fine, if anybody could post the right command I have to use in this case.

Once it works I forgot the name of the program, but it extracts the rom to a .rom file, and your all set.

cat_7 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 @cyman You should use only forward slashes (/)in the config file. You have to put the config file in your home folder. Next, to rename the config file in the terminal you can use: mv sheepshaver_prefs .sheepshaver_prefs It moves "old file" to "new file" (keep a copy of the config file somewhere else as well) cat_7 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12421-sheepshaver-problems/#findComment-87995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyman Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 @cat_7: Thank you so much, this helped! Now I can use Mac OS 9. BTW: There was already a .sheepshaver_prefs file in my home folder, but I had to edit it before it worked.
