![]() To do so, you'll need a "generic" or "universal" Mac OS 8 or OS 9 install disk (SheepShaver currently supports OS 9.0.4 or earlier), access to an OS 9 machine (or toĪn OS X machine that can run Classic), and about 30 minutes of your time. You have the right OS 9 install disk - one that is OS 9.0.4 or earlier and effectively one that did NOT come with another Mac, but was one that was bought Sheepshaver gui mac os# Here's the steps (borrowed from the Ambrosia Software Web Board and edited by yours truly): If you don't have the right disk, you will be unable to complete installation. Create a folder for all the SheepShaver data to go into.For the purposes of this, I'll assume that you chose Like "sheepshaver" in your home directory. The one in your Classic system folder may work (I've been told it should, but mine didn't). I would suggest downloading a ROM update from Apple and using TomeViewer to extract the ROM. Find a machine that can run Classic or already has OS 9, download the ROM Update and TomeViewer,ĭecompress them and launch TomeViewer.You can then choos to open a "tome", which will be on the disk imageįor the ROM Update. There's an extract option, so select the ROM file and extract it. (You want the "MacOS X Universal Binary" near the bottom of the page.) ROM, name it "ROM" and place it inside the "sheepshaver" folder. Decompress SheepShaver and put it where you want.I would suggest keeping it seperate from the "sheepshaver" folder created above, and naming the application folder "SheepShaver-May06" (or whatever date the release was). All of the releases for a while have been numbered 2.3, so the only way to tell them apart is the date. Press "Create." in the window that appears. Change the size to something usable I would suggest 400-600 MB. Navigate to your "sheepshaver" folder and name the drive something like "os9hd". Press "OK" it will take a few moments to create the drive (the program hasn't frozen). Change the "Unix Root" to /Users/username/sheepshaver/share (or wherever your "sheepshaver" folder is). ![]() In the "Graphics/Sound" tab, make sure that Window mode is selected (fullscreen will freeze in this version!) with a refresh rate of 60hz.Change the width/height to either 640x480, 800圆00, or 1024x768, depending on your screen size. I would recommend you use a standard 4:3 resolution (one of the three I listed). Make sure "QuickDraw Acceleration" is on, and "Disable Sound" is off (don't worry about the Output and Mixer devices, they aren't used on OS X). In Keyboard/Mouse, turn off "Use Raw Keycodes" and set "Mouse Wheel Function" to your liking if you have a mouse wheel (which isn't recognized by OS 9 so SheepShaver has to do something else to pretend).In Serial/Network, make sure "slirp" is the Ethernet interface.In Memory/Misc, set the RAM size to something reasonable given your computer.128MB should be more than fine (have it set to 64 just to quickly jump in and out of OS 9, if you're planning on doing a lot you should probably do 128 or higher). Change the ROM path to /Users/username/sheepshaver/ROM (or wherever your "sheepshaver" folder is). Turn off "Ignore Illegal Memory Accesses" and turn on "Don't Use CPU when idle". ![]()
