SheepShaver on macOS Big Sur
I've been playing around with the beta for macOS 11.0: Big Sur. The good news is that SheepShaver builds and runs just fine! https://i.imgur.com/4jZibvl.png There are a couple considerations though: 1. This is running on Intel, so it's not too surprising that everything's fine. Not much has changed ...

Re: Basilisk II CD capability
Ronald and adespoton are right as BII probably won't do exactly what you want. However, if you want to try this build of BasiliskII , you'll be able to play CD audio from bin/cue images (download it under Assets -> BasiliskII.app.zip ). These features aren't in main builds yet due to some outstandin...

Re: Escape Velocity Override Remaster KickStarter
The project reached its main goal! Now they're working on getting to 1000 backers and a little extra money to incorporate some additional graphical updates. The sequel stretch goal is a bit far off with this being the last day, but if the game does well upon release, I'm sure Peter Cartwright still ...

Re: Apeiron mouse problem
I recall having a discussion on Mac Garden about Input Sprockets and mouse controls in Mars Rising. For that game, the strategy of locking the mouse to SheepShaver with control-f5 seemed to work: https://macintoshgarden.org/forum/workaround-mars-rising-control-screen . Does that improve mouse perfor...

Re: Escape Velocity Override Remaster KickStarter
The campaign received a one-week extension! I made a small video about some of the important aspects (at least, to me ) of Cosmic Frontier: Override. Hopefully, we can continue to generate interest and excitement as the goal nears.

These 20th anniversary livestreams have been a lot of fun, so I wanted to do one more as we reach the end of Ambrosia's classic game anniversaries.

Re: [solved] hybrid cdrom emulation
Upon further inspection, I found that multiple bin/cue files can handle status and data-related calls, but audio calls are always invalid and fallback to the first mounted disc. I suspect this is actually a Mac OS issue, although it could be a bug introduced lower in the emulation pipeline. On the f...

Re: [solved] hybrid cdrom emulation
Thanks for testing with your setup. I'm glad to hear it's working! I've extended support for mounting any number of bin/cue images, so try pulling and rebuilding from cdaudio_test to check that. The main limitation is with Apple's own software. For instance, the built-in CD player seems unable to re...

Re: hybrid cdrom emulation
This is relevant to the discussion about bin/cue support in Sheepshaver . I've only had success with audio CDs in Sheepshaver using this option since CD passthrough doesn't really work anymore and most image formats don't save audio partitions. In your other topic you mentioned working in Linux, so ...
