Sheep Shave won't open

Post by bdurden »

I increased the memory in the preferences to 2048 and saved and restarted Sheepsaver...Nothing happens. I messed up and I can't seem top recover. I had it working under Yosemite, but ClarisCad wanted more ram to save a file...

Hi,

SheepShaver can only handle 1024Mb of memory.
If it doesn't start up at all so you can't get to the prefs editor, please open a terminal and type:

open .sheepshaver_prefs

Then edit the ramsize line, set it to 1073741824, and try again.

Best,

That worked. I knew it was something like needing to change the ram size back to 1024, but I just couldn't figure out how.
