Ronald, I runned the script and installed the new Sheepshaver build (25-02-24). It still does not work. It launches but quit immediatly. Any clue ? What happens if you open terminal.app, drag the Sheepshaver.app file onto the window, then change the end to Sheepshaver.app/Contents/MacOS/SheepShaver...

And THAT is a great find, EMendelson! Since you're the local AppleScript wizard, any chance you could write up a droplet that recognizes different AppleDouble formats and can automagically combine them? Hmmm... that should be possible - Test for the filenames and act accordingly. I know nothing abo...

Ha! A lot of geeky old stuff on that page. I grabbed the various versions of Mail Drop to add to my small group of ancient email clients. But what I would REALLY like to find -- probably an impossibility -- are some old web browsers which just not only still launch in Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier, but w...

Excellent find! And here is the full information page - it turns out that the app is scriptable: https://web.archive.org/web/20150309103241/http://carl-bell.baylor.edu/ReadMeFiles/DecodeAppleFile.html And here's a page of other stuff that may be useful too: https://web.archive.org/web/2015030910115...

What's the secret for converting floppy disks to HD images? Both Shoebill and QEMU-system-m68k lack floppy support, and the non-mac floppy images appear to be unrecognizeable on macOS and Linux. Do I just create a blank HD image and then dd the floppy image to the A/UX partition? And use a CD image ...

See this about A/UX 1.1.1 specifically: https://fsck.technology/documentation/Apple/Product%20Data%20%28Information%20Exchange%29%20-%201990/aux_/apple-aux-1.1-8908.pdf AppleTalk® for A/UX Version 2.0 (included with A/UX Version 1.1.1) -- although it only talks about printers, not file sharing. NFS...

I finished an install of A/UX 2.0.1 onto a BlueSCSI disk image and booted into to it. A/UX 3.0.1 was done about a week ago. Still need to fight A/UX 1.1.1, it doesn't want to work right and KPs when switching to A/UX. I'll try some more this weekend: followed Penelope's instructions to the letter. ...

Adespoton, thank you very much for this! So there has actually been a little known solution to this problem for a number of years now. I just downloaded both files, and I am trying to figure out how to use Decode Applefile 1.1. I read the developers ReadMe file, but I am stilll a little confused, r...

Quietly moved to Sonoma ... and today I realized that SheepShaver does not launch. I am sure athat one of you can help. What is the way out of this problem ? Where did you move from? There have been a bunch of security updates slowly trickled out. There have also been changes to SheepShaver.app its...

...and Macintosh Garden delivered the goods: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/decode-applefile-v11 - There's an app for that

Has anyone ever found a solution to this problem? So many years have gone by, and yet it still persists. There are certain files I want to add to my BBS in SheepShaver, but I can't, because of this AppleDoubles issue. I was hopeful that the DropStuff/Stuffit Expander solution would work, but as has...

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...
