Hello, a new SheepShaver user here,
I can't get SheepShaver to launch properly (I know, a fairly dumb thing). I think that this is caused by it failing to recognize the ROM, and simply quitting after that, but I'm not sure. This video illustrates the problem:
Again, I still don't really have much idea what I'm doing, and any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.

Re: A Newb's SheepShaver Problems
Hi,
SheepShaver will only run with the oldworld rom (for System 7.5.3 up to Mac OS 9.04) or the newworld rom (for Mac OS 8.5 up to 9.04). You do not have to try other rom files.
Please check the name you gave to the download with "Get info". It might be the file retained its extensions after you renamed it. If the file is called e.g., "Mac OS ROM.rom" , please remove the extension in the Get info window and try again.
Best,
Cat_7

Thanks so much. Thought it was just the name, not the file extension itself you had to change.
