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 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 .

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...

This is relevant to the discussion about bin/cue support in Sheepshaver .

In your other topic you mentioned working in Linux, so ...
