Thanks again emendelson. The fixed version is here.

How embarrassing!
I re-factored the code for the app's data storage and I forgot the most simple part: to check if the data file exists at all. Now it should be fine.

Re: Preferences manager for OSX
Hello, I am glad to announce a new beta of my Medusa application, version 1.2b. I would like to ask Snow Leopard users to give a feedback. My old Macbook 2008 is sick and in the hospital, so I only managed to test on Mavericks! I am specially concerned about some new images I added that work fine fo...

Re: Compile custom variations on Mini vMac
Mmmm can't help much, I'm on a mac and it generates an XCode project. It worked when I tested.
Did you try an older version of Visual Studio?

Re: Mac OS 7.5 - 9.0.4?
Oh yes.. office crashes because of memory issues, yeah? Can't the QEMU emulation be done without MMU, though? Even to pair with SheepShaver, it would be nice. By the way, I found this nice text by Natalia Portillo on Macintosh emulation, worth reading: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2...

Mac OS 7.5 - 9.0.4?
Are there any information on running the same OSes supported by SheepShaver on QEMU? I am trying to find more information, but is really tricky to get proper results on any QEMU-related topics. I think maybe it could be more stable than SheepShaver to the point we can use, say, Office 2001 or things...

Model ID in SS
Do you guys think we could implement the possibility of reporting another model id in SheepShaver just like in Basilisk II? It would be good to cheat a few installers and stuff like that. We could report some similar models and if the value is too alien, fall back to Gestalt 67. I was reading the ro...

Sheepshaver's technical manual
Is there any technical manual for SS as it is for B2?
I wanted to learn more details on which processors and ROMs are supported and how they relate to the host machine, etc, without digging into the code. =(
Btw, the B2 manual is here, it is a really good introduction: http://basilisk.cebix.net/TECH

Re: Executor: Reverse engineering Macintosh ROMs?
That's an interesting subject! I remember to read somewhere about Compaq and the ROMs from IBM. As far as I understood, they reverse-engineered the IBM ROM for real and created a very detailed documentation on how it should work and behave. After that, they hired a group of developers to assemble a ...

I was researching the topic and I came to several references to ARDI's Executor. As far as I understand, Executor only.. "translates" the binaries used by old macs, behaving, sort of, as if there were a ROM there. However, I read some sites suggesting they actually reverse engineered a Mac...

Re: Preferences manager for OSX
Yes, I thought in both getting default settings from the ROM file and the disk images. The ROM file information the app fetches from hardcoded information. So it gets the checksum, finds out which ROM is that based in a big list and it can guess: - Which gestalt models use that ROM (it can set model...
