Wow! SheepShaver in Full-Screen Mode

Post by Old-School-BBSer »

Now THAT is impressive!

Out of curiosity, I just set SheepShaver's window prefs to "maximum" in both width and height. I had to restart SheepShaver in order for it to take effect. But, boy, when I did, that really knocked my socks off. Seeing Mac OS 9 on a 24" screen as if it is running native -- yes, I know it really isn't -- is something to behold.

Eat your hearts out Apple, for removing Classic mode from OS X! :lol:

You can also set int to "Full screen" with any chosen resolution resolution (not necessarily "Maximum") and you can toggle between full screen mode and window mode using Control-Return, no need to restart then. It is all in the manual.

Just joking my friend.

You may recall that previously, I stated that when I was exposed to my very first computer -- a Macintosh SE in 1990 -- I expected to be handed a manual so that I could slowly learn and teach myself.

I am -- or at least was -- a manual type of guy. I like to do all things in an orderly, organized fashion.

So when my boss at the time did not hand me a manual, and instructed me to just play with the machine, I freaked. That just was not me to plunge into something blindly like that.

Well, here we are 25 years later.

You should start a new thread rather than posting in an unrelated thread.

You need to install the GTK Runtime, as discussed in http://emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver_setup .
