Hm, the Extensions Manager in 7.6 apparently does not provide this additional information, may be that was introduced in 8.0. The information can be found in Finder Info for the file, but scanning all the extensions in Finder Info will be a lot of work. Usually we advise to remove "Sound Manage...

Possibly a incompatibility with extensions that were installed with SoundEdit. Which version did you install? Extensions Manager will work. Find and disable extensions that were installed with Sound Edit. Which are those extensions? Sound-related software may not work properly in SheepShaver, severa...

Clearly a corrupted file. Simply download it again, does not matter which browser you use.

BTW: Which build of SheepSaver do you use? (I mean the build date NOT the version number!) File corruption can happen with the use of Unix Root/shared folder in earlier builds.

Which application did you install? Do I understand correctly that SheepShaver launches fine, but that there is a crash during the MacOS startup process? Exactly at which point does the crash happen? Can you startup MacOS with extensions off? (Launch SheepShaver with shift key pressed and hold the ke...

Like you would for all BasiliskII settings or preferences, look for it in the GUI. Depending on the version you use, it may be a on a separate tab.

Better use a more recent build with which we are familiar and that is known to not have the serious bugs from the early 2.3 builds. You can simply replace the SheepShaver application in your setup. The SheepShaver build that you will find here http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5567 wi...

I see. That probably is the version that is distributed by a third party with system software and ROM file included. (Distributing installed MacOS systems and distributing ROM files are both illegal, anyway in violation of Apple license agreements.) I am not sure which SheepShaver build is included....

Thanks, Ron. I am using version 2.3 - is that ok? I mean the build, not the version number. All builds since 2006 have version number 2.3. Which build do you use, built at which date, and where did you download it from? The orignal 2006 2.3 snapshot is not OK. Also, to clarify, I should install the...

Better not use OS9 applications while they are on your hard drive. You need to install them within SheepShaver or copy all files belonging to a certain application (especially when some of those file belong in the System Folder) over to the SheepShaver emulated Mac. In the setup you can assign a fol...

For BasiliskII to run, it needs a ROM file. That file is not provided with BasiliskII, because distributing Apple ROM files is illegal. The only legal way is to extract a ROM file from an actual old hardware 68k Mac that is owned by you yourself. Well, you probably do not own that Mac, just like mos...

The PPC versions of SheepShaver consume even more CPU time (up to 95% on my PowerBook G4). This is also true for my latest build which was build in Leopard. Can there be any relation between this extremely high CPU usage and the high CPU usage by the Intel Tiger builds?

I got the latest changes from mschmitt and I built a new UB from it: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ronaldpr/sheepshaverforum/SheepShaver_UB_20090714.zip I built both Intel and PPC versions in Leopard 10.5.7, XCode 3.1.3, against MacOSX 10.4 SDK, with SDL 1.2.10, and both with: ./autogen.sh --disable-vosf --...

OK, here is my latest Intel build: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ronaldpr/sheepshaverforum/SheepShaver_Intel_20090713.zip I built in Leopard 10.5.7, XCode 3.1.3, against 10.4 SDK, with SDL 1.2.10. I configured with --enable-sdl-audio: ./autogen.sh --disable-vosf --enable-sdl-static --enable-sdl-audio --enab...

Regarding your test results, I think the differences we are seeing in the builds is due to how we are building, both parameters and on what build platform, rather than the code changes I made. The code should either work or crash. It shouldn't have any impact on performance. Which differences are y...

I tried the last three UB builds on my PowerBook G4 and Tiger. #1 July 21 2008 #2 March 19 2009 - 2.3 (090319) "with fullscreen working" #3 July 12 2009 - 2.3 (20090712) Behavior of all three is mostly equally good (or equally poor): - "Unexpectedly quit" crash message at launch ...

What happened to me is I already had a lowmem and pagezero program in the Darwin directory, from when I compiled for Intel. When configure ran, it didn't recompile them, because make (as ran by configure, not the make I did later) determined that they were already up to date. So they were still com...

I did not keep the build, but I kept the source. So, I built it again. Here is the PPC version: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ronaldpr/sheepshaverforum/SheepShaver_PPC_090712.zip It does not run in Tiger on my PowerBook. I do not have a Leopard system on PPC at present. When I launch it, it will first show ...

The PPC version did not run, so I did not join it with the Intel version to create a UB version. I think I did not even save it. I will have a look.

Right. That is so on both retail Mac OS 9 CDs I have (9.0 and 9.1).

If the disk label is white with a yellow 9, it is a retail System CD. Version 9.0 (which can be updated easily to 9.0.4) does not have any further version indication on the disk label, later versions always have the version indication (9.0.4, 9.1, etc.) in small print below the instructions how to s...

No, they will only work after applying a hack and the result may still be a system that is only partially functional.

The hack is described in this topic: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewto ... ight=crack

It takes extended searches, but you may find original retail CD's still, like (maybe) here: http://www.amazon.com/904-Mac-Os-9-0-4/dp/B00004TJDC Do not let the image fool you and read the descriptions, some of the offered disks are clearly not the original retail disks.

Where does BasiliskII save its configuration file in Windows? In Linux/MacOSX it is in the home directory. That would necessitate re-configuring on each machine you want to use it.

The July 2008 build may not have the pretty face (UI) of Nigel Pearson's OSX port, but it certainly is much more stable. And yes, it runs fine with a quadra650.rom.
