Re: SheepShaver Won't Start on 10.15.6, Even With "Mac OS ROM"

FWIW - I had the exact same problem trying to launch SheepShaver on Catalina. The solution for me was to Command-I the ROM file and remove the .rom extension in the “Name and Extension” field. Doing this on the file itself does not work. Only changing it to only ‘Mac OS ROM” (no extension) under Com...

Re: Full screen problems in Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina

Here is the new SheepShaver build. It solved the issue for me. Does it solve the issue for you? You can simply replace the existing application with this one. https://www.emaculation.com/sheepshaver/SheepShaver_notarized_20200726.zip I did not yet post it as recommended build. It did solve it! fant...

Re: Full screen problems in Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina

@ smrieck511 1. You look in the wrong places for the .sheepshaver_prefs file. It should be in your Home folder. Open your Home folder and hit command-shift-. (command-shift-dot) to show the hidden files. It should be there among the other "dot" files, files with names that start with &quo...

Re: Full screen problems in Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina

I could reproduce the issue by the com.emaculation.sheepshaver.plist file. And I found a potential bug that has existed since 2005. Try latest source. https://github.com/kanjitalk755/macemu Thank you! I'm not a programmer so I know nothing about compiling this. Is there a relatively easy way to do ...

Re: Full screen problems in Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina

Thanks. That certainly did look promising. It found some files I was unable to find even with invisible files enabled. Trashed all of those but still getting the beachball...

Re: Full screen problems in Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina

Yeah apologies..I may be confusing the issue. I did get it back to windowed mode yesterday. After then resetting the preferences to fullscreen (to see what would happen - couldn't resist), it went back to the beachball and today apparently the user prefs file does NOT fix the problem...but it appear...

Re: Full screen problems in Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina

I did manage to fix this problem on my computer (2019 MBP - Catalina 10.15.6) I took the prefs file form my old macbook which had sheepsaver in windowed mode. Dropped it in the preferences folder on my new macbook pro and.... it didn't work again but when I launched it a second time, it did work! If...

Re: Full screen problems in Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina

yeah its weird. I certainly opened prefs before to make it full screen, 1024mb ram etc....but the prefs file is nowhere to be found. Invisible or not. Searched for .sheepshaver_prefs and just sheepshaver.
