If I start putting software in my (I don't know what you would call it, basilisk and sheepshaver call them volumes) will space automatically grow to fit? In Sheepshaver I just made three volumes for all my games but some of them were really large. ...

Re: Tiger for Intel on VMs

Tiger for Intel works fine on VMWare Fusion x86, VirtualBox x86 and Parallels Desktop x86, and has done for over a decade. There's one tweak you need to make on VMWare to allow it to boot: add a single file to the System folder that makes VMWare think it's the Server version of Tiger. Once you've bo...

Re: SheepShaver on Intel Mac Sonoma 14.3 opens then closes

One other thing to try is to open terminal.app
> cd <path to your SheepShaver folder>
> ./SheepShaver.app/Contents/MacOS/SheepShaver

And then check for debug output, which should tell you why it's quitting.

Re: How to burn bootable Mac OS X Jaguard media?

Best solution: create an 8GB partition on your Mini's boot media, and restore the Jag installer to that. Then boot with option held down and select that partition to boot from. However, if you've already got MorphOS installed, it's possible that you have the MorphOS bootloader installed as well, whi...

Re: Disk image creator doesn't work.

Now this is really interesting. When I try 4196, the disk only has 100 MB, but when I try 4000, it has none. Also, when I try 1000 or 1024, those sizes seem to work.

The reason it only recognizes 8 MB is because that's how much is embedded on the Power Mac 6100 itself. To get it recognize more, we need to set up the memory regions and also expand the HMC controller to recognize the chosen RAM setup. Ah; so for now, limiting to System 7.1 as the OS is a good ide...
