You can go into Terminal and run SheepShaver.app/Contents/MacOS/SheepShaver -- I'm getting non-useful error codes when I get this with bad configurations though.

Does it work for you under XP/7/8? Or is this more a case of setting things up differently than in the instructions on the Wiki?

Not sure, but did you know it had all been converted to a JavaScript App?

At this point, I'm curious: if you install Mavericks in VirtualBox or another VM, and copy your configuration over, does it start running again? Even before that: if you create a new user in Yosemite and launch it from there, does it work? There's enough of us that have had 0 problems with Yosemite ...

This reminds me... I've been thinking for a while that it would be neat to take the qemu core in VirtualBox and replace it with a full, modern qemu with all platforms supported. This is as a replacement for KVM on OS X, which doesn't have a virtual machine interface to the kernel (but Sun/Oracle hav...

Interesting... so what's the 5th library loaded after the port scan? Test 2 would appear to indicate that the first library is ASLM related. The changes in Test 3 and 4 appear to keep going until unexpected values are presented to the 5th loaded library if I'm reading that correctly.

Sorry; I think it was me being sleepy. It's polling SerialA and SerialB; it can also poll things on ADB, but only if they've got a pseudo-port entry already. So the main focus is SerialA and SerialB. ADB communications dongles shouldn't be an issue.

Depends on you look at it; in that document, see kOTPortIsPrivate and kOTPortIsAlias -- 'serial' is an alias that generally points to ADB ports A and B. However, I seem to recall OTRunPortScanners is actually scanning the pseudo-ports, which includes AppleTalk virtual ports. By extension, it is prob...

I'm currently having that same problem with debuggers off on that build, attempting to boot 10.4. I'm trying to see what happens if I install 9.2.2 as Classic inside 10.4.11, but due to the mouse vanishing, I'm not getting all that far :( I don't recall having this issue on previous QEMU builds. IIR...

Do you have networking enabled? If so, does it work with networking disabled?

10.11 uses a new security model that needs to be temporarily disabled to properly install tun/tap. If you're attempting to use tuntaposx on an upgraded OS, it will fail, as will any software that depends upon it.

Most recenty when this came up, the copy of Stuffit from http://www.gryphel.com/c/sw/archive/stuffexp/index.html was suggested. Download stuffit_expander_40.zip , unzip it in Windows, and mount the .dsk file in your emulator alongside the .hfv file that you use for your hard drive image. As discuss...

Doesn't Windows have the ability to create sandboxes now? SheepShaver within a sandbox should load from address 0, which would be at the beginning of sandbox memory space instead of system-wide application memory space.

Excellent! It looks like the problem is indeed shortly after OTRunPortScanners, which would line up with the guesses about getting unexpected results from the serial driver. Maybe we can tweak QEMU to just return dummy serial values?

Ah; I was right Good to know.

As I said, .smi isn't a filetype; it's a self-extracting application. If you've got a stuffit installer.smi, that means that the resource fork has likely been stripped -- likely from downloading the file to a Windows filesystem, which doesn't recognize resource forks and has only saved the data fork...

All of Cormac and Alex's changes have been rolled into the main branch now. The top two reference the same repo, I think. The last one is where Alex puts stuff he's testing before it gets rolled into the trunk. The main thing we were waiting for was the OpenBIOS changes to get accepted and rolled in...

The only thing I can think of is that tuntaposx is attempting to run outside the El Cap sandbox. SecTaskLoadEntitlements errors seem to affirm this might be the issue. Where are your tun/tap components located, and are their permissions set correctly? More information on the sandbox ("System In...

First thing: do you have Stuffit Expander? Second: did you accidentally strip the resource fork from the files? .sea should have a file type of APPL and be a fully executable application, able to launch itself and extract an embedded archive file. It's possible you just have the type and creator str...

You can replace OpenTransport with MacTCP up until 8.1 I believe; IIRC, parts of OT are built right into the system for 8.5+, meaning you'd have to replace the resources with ones that MacTCP could hook. System 7.5 - MacOS 8.1 had a switching tool I think, that did a bit more than just swapping out ...

Get find! Thanks

I share your theory; the ethernet code outside of OT appears to have no problems. Have you tried just removing the serial resources? OT architecture is robust enough that it should be able to handle that without fully failing.

I'm not even sure if networking works (Mac OS X does have a driver for Realtek RTL8139, but I don't think Mac OS 9 does). There is one, and gtxaspec has included it in his 9.2.2 image (not installed) :) However, the fact that we had to yank out all OpenTransport support means it's not usable (yet) ...

Gryphel has actually built the emulator as part of the development environment; you're going to be missing a few things if you attempt to build it manually outside the environment. That said, he's probably also the only person to attempt what you're currently trying. That said, he's probably also th...
