Sheepshaver closes after boot screen

Post by ENunn »

Hello.

I'm trying to install MacOS 9 on SheepShaver. For some reason, after the MacOS Boot Screen, SheepShaver closes without warning. I see a log, but it shows nothing.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I rarely see people on this forum that has Windows. xD

Can anyone help?

Nevermind. I saw on the SheepShaver setup that it was reported that it would crash with less that 512 MBs of RAM. I set it to 512 MBs of RAM and its fixed now. Sorry! xD

Hi,

That should not happen. Are you using the latest version for windows? And do you have "Ignore illegal memory access" ticked in the GUI?
Sometimes SheepShaver tries to use memory which is already occupied by some other program. Can you also not run with less than 512 Mb after a fresh system start?

Best,
