The issue is not the software, but the hardware. It may depend on the disk, but to my knowledge only with original Apple floppy drives a Mac diskette can be copied such that the resulting diskette is an exact copy that is indistinguishable from the original. I am not 100% certain though. Very few pe...

I still do not understand what you did. 1. -Double click the .dmg file in OSX (not in SheepShaver). It should open and you should see the contents. What image file is "the .dmg file"? Does it contain the software you want to install in SheepShaver? Classic software usually does not come on...

To create from a floppy disk a disk image that MacOS will see as the original floppy disk, you need a real Mac with floppy drive. For all other purposes there are several options. 1. Create 'Classic' image files from folders or volumes with MacOSX Disk Utility Install TinkerTool (free): http://www.b...

SheepShaver does not use the video hardware on the host machine. The emulated video card is called "SheepShaver Video". I don't think it has 3D capabilities and even if it would have 3D capabilities, there are no 3D drivers for it.

Ok, so the problem was that the files were being corrupted somehow when going through shared. Though this issue was "solved" beforehand, somehow it continued to be a problem. The issue should be solved in the latest July 21, 2008 builds. This version of SheepShaver will not repair files t...

Can you explain more clearly what you did? .dmg files are MacOSX specific files, cannot be used in MacOS and will indeed show a generic document icon.

Sheepshaver 2.3, also tried COI v4.0.1 I asked for the date of the build. All builds since the May 2006 snapshot are "version 2.3". I never used the COI version, but I believe it contains also an older version of SheepShaver. In the older SheepShaver versions the shared folder/Unix volume...

A .sea file is a self-extacting disk image file, in fact an application. If double clicking that file in the SheepShaver environment gives the message that it "could not be opened, because the application program that created it could not be found", the file is damaged. The same will be tr...

In MacOSX the Mac specific properties of "old" Mac files (like resource fork and type/creator metadata) will be preserved. The shared folder used to cause problems, but in the latest builds these vital properties should be preserved also in the shared folder/Unix volume. You are apparently...

You can create disk images from floppies on a original Mac with floppy drive, using applications like Disk Copy or ShrinkWrap. The image files can be transferred to the SheepShaver environment and mounted there, again with Disk Copy or ShrinkWrap, just like you would mount the image on a real Mac. T...

- Different host system. I can try an iMac G4 with Tiger, MacBook Pro with Leopard, MacBook with Tiger, or iBook G3 with Panther. With "different host systems" I referred to Windows and Linux. Although BasiliskII emulates a 68k Mac and SheepShaver emulates a PPC Mac, the two emulators sha...

Other people have played SimTower successfully. Why does it crash for me? Do you know people who have played SimTower successfully in SheepShaver? There may be essential differences between your setup and theirs. (Different host system, different ROM, different MacOS version, different SimTower ver...

You can set up printing to a PostScript network printer. Do not use the Chooser, but use 'Desktop Printer Utility' (not sure this is its name in English) that (in MacOS 9) will be somewhere in the 'Apple Extras' folder, probably in a folder 'Apple LaserWriter software'. LaserWriter 8 printer driver ...

The May 2006 snapshot by Gwenole Beauchesne does not have the high CPU usage. You can find it here: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects/sheepshaver Note that this version has several bugs that are resolved in the latest builds. Notably the shared folder cannot be used for files that have Mac-...

Is there a place where can I submit a detailed bug report to so that it might get worked into the code base? I am not aware of a special place for bug reports. Since Gwenole Beauchesne has suspended further development of SheepShaver (and BasiliskII), a few members of this forum have made a couple ...

I do not think I ever tried running Java apps in SheepShaver. If I do the test you mention with iCab, SheepShaver crashes also. The example applets provided with MRJ also make SheepShaver crash. I doubt there is a solution. Possibly some hardware is needed that SheepShaver does not emulate. (MacOS 9...

Interesting. A similar (though not the exact same) error message was reported by some users of SheepShaver for MacOSX on Leopard. I am not familiar with SheepShaver on Windows, but I wonder if there is a connection.

See this topic: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5364

When you set the window to a size a little smaller then your SS window I think the problem will be gone. And you can set the SheepShaver window in the preferences (or the GUI) to larger sizes than the sizes predefined in the menu. I have my SS window set at 1280x800. (After startup you may need to ...

So far we have not found a solution for this specific problem other than applying the latest Leopard Combo updater. That solves the problem for some, but not for all. We have no idea what the cause for the problem is. It is probably something in the system. It happens only in Leopard, usually on new...

I can try that, but this system came stock with 10.5.4. Then the 10.5.4 update can probably not be applied, better wait for the 10.5.5 update and use the 10.5.5 Combo-updater. And, refererring to the question by Cat_7, SheepShaver does not run if the setting for RAM Size is set to a value higher th...

The problem is reported by several people, always on Leopard. Search the forums to see the other reports. For some the problem was resolved by downloading and installing the latest system Combo-update over the existing system, 10.5.4 in your case. You can also wait for the 10.5.5 update that is expe...

I do not know MCL, but not all MacOS 8/9 compatible software will run in SheepShaver because it does not fully emulate a real hardware Mac. Especially a MMU (Memory Management Unit) is missing. That is why several games do not run in SheepShaver, why MacOS 9.1/9.2 cannot run in SheepShaver and why v...

I'll try to find a copy of QT 4.1.2. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120082 Installing QuickTime over a newer version will not remove all of the newer version because the newer version consists of more files. Make sure you remove all files that were installed with QuickTime 6, among ...

Please give more info, Which version (which build, not version number) of SheepShaver are you using? Were 9.0.4 and 8.6 successfully installed in SheepShaver and used otherwise with no problems? On which MacOS version and which hardware did the program function before? Did you successfully install M...
