"This is an issue with the Unix/shared folder feature."—————— OK, thank you. If this problem can be solved, please tell me the way. You cannot solve it and neither can I. If it can be solved, and I think it can, it must be done by the developer. We use the fork by kanjitalk755. If he can ...

I had to figure out how SimpleText works and I find out the option bar up the OS. In Windows, the menu bars are at the top of the windows. On a Mac (from 1984 till now) the menu bar is always at the top of the screen. The menus and menu items change to the ones belonging to the application that is ...

OK, now I think I understand. 1. When the external file system feature in SheepShaver for Windows is used (My Computer icon), Chinese characters in file names are displayed correctly on the SheepShaver side, but classic Mac file attributes are lost. As far as I can imagine, there is no solution for ...

Please be more clear about your setup, because I still do not understand.

What is the location of the shared folder of which the content is shown in "Unix" in SheepShaver?

It is strange that sheepshaver under windows can mount NTFS disk correctly and display Chinese characters. I am quite sure that NTFS disks cannot be "mounted" in SheepShaver for Windows. I suppose a NTFS disk can be accessed through "My Computer". The Unix/shared folder in Sheep...

Maybe you should explain more about your setup. What has a NTFS disk to do with the Unix/shared folder feature in OSX?

Do you use a NTFS disk that is mounted in OSX (or folder on it) as shared folder for SheepShaver OSX?

Well, if you read this and the other topic, you will see that "shelsm" did try. Summarising: Chinese file names are not displayed correctly in the "Unix" volume (shared folder) in SheepShaver OSX and still not when those files are copied from "Unix" to the virtual HD in...

If the same backward compatibility policy was used in 2017, the earliest OSX version that version 2.7 could be used with would be OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
September 2017 macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) was released.

This reply is for the regular SheepShaver setup (not for Edward Mendelson's pre-configured setup). Please follow our setup manual to the letter: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver_mac_os_x_setup For MacOS 7.5.3 through 8.1, use the suggested oldworld rom file. For MacOS 8.5 through 9.0...

Strange, especially strange that it affects only MacOS 9.0.4.
But do you actually use File Sharing in SheepShaver?

The "Unix" feature is not available in SheepShaver for windows. Instead, there is the "My computer" icon. I have no answers to your questions, sorry. I do not understand your setup with different computers and server and what is the need or purpose of that complicated setup. Your...

Why can't the server file folder be made into a disk image?

Well, the issue is apparently with the Unix/shared folder over a network connection. I do not know if this can be resolved.

The best way will be to create a new empty disk image of sufficient size. If this works with files names intact, it can be used to move files between SheepShaver guest and OSX host. - Start Disk Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder) - From the File menu, choose New Image > Blank Image... ...

Information may get lost on the "Unix" drive which is not a HFS or HFS+ volume. You can see that when you select "Unix" and check Finder Info for the volume. The format is seen by the Finder as "Unix Directory Tree". I am trying to find out if it is the Unix/shared fold...

Now the problem is that there is no need to copy. In the Chinese simplified macosx10.9, the file names in the folder are all Chinese characters. After the folder is mounted as UNIX and displayed on the macos9 desktop, finder opens the UNIX folder, and the file displayed in simplified Chinese is gar...

There are different possible encodings for languages like Chinese. I suppose UTF-8 is normally used in OSX. I am not sure which encoding was used in Classic MacOS.

I suppose that the files show the correct Chinese characters on the OSX side. If such a file is copied inside SheepShaver MacOS from the Unix drive to the virtual HD ( not moved to the desktop!), do the correct characters appear again in the file name? (BTW: Are we talking about traditional or simpl...

Can you describe your setup in more detail? This topic is about SheepShaver for Windows, but you write about MacOSX and about the 'Unix" drive in MacOS9, which only applies to SheepShaver for OSX. But you write also about win7. Which SheepShaver did you install on what kind of machine. From wha...

1. Is the MacOS 9.0.4.iso a fully pre-installed system or a MacOS install CD image? If it is an install CD image, it seems you did not install the system (at least you do not mention installing MacOS). 2. The error message is typical for when you try to run an application (this game) while it is not...

@moderators, would it be possible to allow me to continue to edit my how-to post on page 1 of this thread? Thanks. There is no option to override the editing time limit on a per user base. If you send the edited text for the how-to post in a PM to one of the moderators, we can change the how-to pos...

Are other names with Chinese characters displayed correctly? Did you install Chinese language pack and Chinese fonts in MacOS?

Ah, yes. Much simpler. I did not know that. I will rewrite the instructions above.
(No need to use "exit" to return to zsh. The next time a Terminal window is opened it is back to the default zsh.)

Weird. For example, if I invoke SheepShaver > Preferences… and then move the main emulator window, smoothing turns off! The lines are much thinner, and exactly crisp. Not sure what you mean with "invoke". Exactly what do you do? Open the Prefs window and close it or open the Prefs window a...

OS11 Big Sur no longer seems to mount/ recognise CD-ROMs in Finder using the Apple USB SuperDrive. It does show as connected in 'System Preferences' and 'Disk Utility'. I also tried to recreate the .cdr/ disk image process in Disk Utility - however the operation failed reporting 'Operation not perm...
