Ed Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 If, like me, you are a bit of an old school Mac head, or possibly you have an actual genuine need to launch your old Mac OS "Classic" applications, check out the oddly named "SheepShaver". Far from doing what it says on the tin, SheepShaver is a PowerPC emulator that lets you run Mac OS 7, 8 or 9 on your Snow Leopard machine. It's also available for Linux and Windows users too. Check out SheepShaver at E-Maculation for more info, and also stop by at TidBITS for an overview on how to get up and running.

mikecwest Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I've got OS 9 running on my Snow Leopard but somehow, my applications folder is missing :/ Now I can't do much.. Anyway, nice app. Unless I am mistaken, it should be located on your G3 restore CD? Alternatively you could search for a G3 ROM UPDATE UTILITY Here is a link to the APPLE website, (which i think is OK?) Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White) Firmware Update 1.1: Document and Software http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58374 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194509-mac-os-7-on-your-snow-leopard-machine/#findComment-1316261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Lol.. I might just have to try it out then dig out some old games like apeiron & maelstrom.

Beerkex'd Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Bah, system 7. The only 7 I need is in a 7.8 MHz Motorola 68000. This is how me and my boys used to roll back in the day.

TheAppleFreak Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Oh, GAWD. I remember these apps. Before I began hacking OS X to run on the school PCs, I used to run Basilisk and Sheepshaver from my flash drive. Good times... good times.

Beerkex'd Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Glad you liked it. This really took me back, I did that one in a couple of minutes but I used to sit at my friends B/W mac for hours making "grafitti", stoned out of my mind.

I used to only have a black and white display connected to the first Mac I used at work (Quadra 700), the updated me to a colour one after a while though As for doodling, stoned... that was the best way to let the creative juices flow...

allan0308 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Work Great! at this version of Sheepshaver. Great job! My old friends is BACK! But file sharing slow. Just like use back my old mac PowerMac 7100. Access CD DVD also slow. But you can open back your OSX hardisk directory by setup your UNIX Root /User/username/ access speed fast.

Burpethead Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 For anyone who does this, I'd really recommend taking the opportunity to play the game TaskMaker. It's seriously one of the best games ever. Epic. It should be pretty easy to find somewhere to download.
