Hi ~ Can you tell me of any way to run Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)? on my mid-2012 MacBook Pro(9,1) that originally shipped with Mac OS 10.7, now running Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave)? –I would love to have a Snow Leopard partition on it...

Any ideas? :idea:

Re: Reconfiguring S...

Hello again ~
Can you kindly tell me how I can increase the size of my OS9 "disk" in SheepShaver? Its current capacity is 119.9 Mb and it now has 116.5Mb in use.
I am wishing to install more ancient applications, but no room...

Thanks immensely! :smile:

Re: Reconfiguring S...

Thank you, Cat_7 ~ On my older machine, the one that is running SS with no problem, the RAM is set to 1024Mb. On the machine that we're working on, I set it to 1024 also. But when I tried to re-start up SS again (from a shutdown), it would not start up. So I had to start over with fresh preferences....

Thank you again , Cat_7 ~ Okay, that worked! All of my old apps collection has shown up, it seems... but most of them won't open now because of lack of RAM. I try to add RAM from the OS9 Control panel, but it says there is none available. – though my computer has 16Gb, with 12Gb free. Can you pleas...

Re: Reconfiguring S...

Thanks so much, Cat_7, Ronald. No, there is no extension attached to the MacOS ROM file and yes, this is the same version and build as previous. What I had done earlier is: I have another older Mac, also with OS 10.6.8 on it, which has SS on it and working correctly. (I still have that.) I acquired ...

Re: Reconfiguring S...

Thank you, Ronald ~ Yes, the disk volume files (MacOS9 1 through 6), Mac OS ROM, and the SS app are in the SS folder. No, I did not switch between them and actually do not remember why I had six of them... Yes, I have SS v.2.4 (2018-07-09) When I double-click on the app icon to open it, it starts to...

Re: Unix folder has disappeared...

Ronald, would you recommend that I upgrade to a more recent version of SheepShaver?
I'm on version 2.4, Build No. 20140201.

Would it be a worthwhile thing to do, and would it be easy..? (For me, that is...:)

My current version IS slightly buggy, at times. (But work-around-able.)

THANKS!

And yes! I would very much like to know how to create a VM for future reference! Thanks so much for offering.

It (SS) isn't nearly as up-to-date as the one on my computer, which has MANY more applications installed on it. What I'm wanting to do is make the SS on the ext. HD as compl...
