Update universal OS on english one

Post by Roquebidouille »

Hello
I run Mac OS 9.0.4 (english version) using SheepShaver on my powerbook (OSX El Capitan) and it works
I got over the net MacOS 9.2.1 iso universal file and I wrote this image on a real CDROM
When I insert this CDROM, SheepShaver proposes to initialize this media instead of mounting it
May be I was wrong burning this CD

I also tried sheepShaver over a mac OSX 10.6 (using virtualbox) which also works, but I got the same result
Have you any tip to get French version of MacOS running there ?
Thanks

1. MacOS 9.0.4 is the latest version that will run on SheepShaver, 9.1 or later will not run.

2. Physical CDs cannot be mounted in SheepShaver in OSX 10.8 and later. To mount an .iso file in SheepShaver, you can add it to the volumes list in SheepShaver preferences. See our setup guide for more information.
(This can be done in a regular SheepShaver setup, not in the preconfigured COI.)

There is an international installer for 9.0 - that is the one you want to use.

Classic MacOS has separate versions for different languages, not combined like in MacOSX.

A fully installed French MacOS 9.0.4 plus a number of utilities, ready for use in SheepShaver (no installation needed) is available on the Macintosh Garden site. (URL in private message)
