Sounds like we need a new AppleDouble joiner tool for OS 9... I'll put out a request on Macintosh Garden and see if any Classic Coders are up to the challenge

Back to the other sub-thread: running A/UX 1.1.1, from https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/category/aux/ : Apple released a real 1.0 product (1.1.1 survives, although you have to run ( /etc/toolboxdaemon & ; term) to get anything fun from Shoebill with the ISO), what can barely be called a bare ...

But this seems to assume that newconfig will find a network card. So we're back to figuring out how to make shoebill report a card to A/UX.... Is all this worth the effort, when the QEMU-based setup works perfectly when the network is started with Cat_7's command line? I've enjoyed experimenting wi...

I found another useful vmnet-related thread for UTM: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/issues/3294 On the macOs host, by editing the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.vmnet.plist and looking for the value of Shared_Net_Address, which is 192.168.64.1, we can change the "range&q...

On the EV Nova front, I have to admit that after beating EV, EV Override and EV Nova and various packs for each, I moved on to Escape Velocity which fixes a number of game mechanics issues with the EV series -- and it also has plugins for EV re-creations (which use the new game mechanics), if you r...

I am not sure if this game will run in SheepShaver, but it will certainly not run unless CarbonLib 1.6 is installed in MacOS. If missing CARBON is the problem, why do I not receive a notification along the lines of carbon lib not found then? That is what other games (and the OS should) do in that c...

Did you try shortening the sound buffer in SheepShaver? Shortening the length of the sound buffer can prevent delayed and choppy sound in some applications but will increase CPU use. That is a good suggestion (note that CPU usage should not be a problem on my rig, I am on an Intel-i7 13700, that sh...

…there seems to be an issue with NSOpenGL, as libshoebill is drawing at half scale in the full scale window on my Retina screen. This is due to the fact that NSOpenGLView.wantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface defaults to true if the app is linked against 10.15 or later. Either set NSOpenGLView.wantsBest...

Hmm. After that entertaining read, I still don't think it's helped. I suspect VMNet is indeed already initialized, and Neozeed's writeup at https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8483 explains more of what's actually going on -- essentially, the interfaces in A/UX aren't set up yet. As my...

Adding SDL2 to the project is probably a good idea; yesterday, I got a chain of security warnings that Apple couldn't scan my new SDL2 library for malware and I had to go into Security settings and override it -- which probably isn't something we want people having to do who aren't familiar with co...

Once every two or three years, I make this mistake: I dig deep into a SheepShaver sheepvm and double-click the sparsebundle with the emulated HFS+ disk image in order to mount it on the macOS desktop. (I have macFUSE installed.) When I unmount the emulated disk again, SheepShaver displays the flopp...

Has anyone tried running it under QEMU or MAME to see if the different emulator core makes a difference?

Here; I've forked the repo and committed the changes: https://github.com/adespoton/shoebill Thank you! I've built successfully and added the ARM-only build to my old AUXrunner, and it works. But it would be good to know how to get the network working by running as root (will experiment later). I ad...

There's one bug in all versions of shoebill -- in core/fpu.c, there's an 'a' function variable declared untyped. I put "int" in front of it and the problem went away. So "double _native_tentox(a) " becomes "double _native_tentox(int a) ". I also needed to replace my co...

Maybe something in your build environment is causing the problem? I didn't change any of the SheepShaverGUI code for my build. I use just a plain, up to date, msys2 32 bit environment to build. The source comes straight from kanjitalk. No changes from my side, I wouldn't know how ;-) Something is f...

I'll do some digging and see if I can get things delisted: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/search/sheepshaver.exe/files shows the current status for all the versions. Looks like BitDefender went a bit aggressive on their Jaik ID, and a few other vendors started detecting because a bunch of the BitDef...

compile time, I think. I finally got 8.2.2 compiled with gtk and sdl support, and I get a window with display data and it boots and everything…well, almost everything. I've tried two different ways to create a bridged interface in Ubuntu for qemu to use, but I always seem to hit this error: failed ...

I hope you'll post your new version. Prompted by a post you made a few weeks ago, I found my old Shoebill-based AUXrunner, and made a few changes in the AppleScript so that it would run under Yosemite on an old Mac that I keep around for this kind of thing. I set it up to use the SLIRP-based versio...

So I've started re-compiling Shoebill and have made a bit more sense of what makes it different from other Mac emulators. Pruten spelled it all out, but I missed or forgot about the part where he mentioned he replicated the Apple bootloader in emulation, so you don't need to load Mac OS and then the...

What is the current upstream? I tried upstream3 on a minimal Ubuntu 22.04 and got dependency errors, so I will try on a standard desktop install, but want to make sure I get it right. Is there a build guide, documentation or website for the upstream branch? Basically from a base Ubuntu desktop inst...

Hi there, I have noticed that, when emulating a System 7.1 capable Mac (Mac II CI, Quadra 800), pressing SHIFT sometimes makes the system emit a piercing sound and there's an small icon that looks like a pressed key appearing on the upper-right corner of the screen. Does not happen on System 6.x ap...

Is A/UX compatible with Mac games? Let's say I want to run Prince of Persia, or Lemmings, etc.. under A/UX. Do you guys know if they should work? I have read that A/UX is compatible with Mac apps, but there isn't a single word about games on A/UX anywhere. Rule of thumb: If a game can run on System...

Best place to ask a question like this is probably Macintosh Garden. The one that comes to mind for me is Abuse by Bungie. There's also flight simulator games that "scroll" in all directions. And for System 6 era games, I believe Beyond Dark Castle has some smooth scrolling action when you...

Ever since I installed Qemu and Mac OS 9.2.2, it seems that I am unable to scroll in windows, and must resort to using the scroll bars. Is this a known bug in Qemu, or am I missing adding a string to the qema-ppc-command script, or does something need to be done within Mac OS 9.2.2 itself? You're u...
