I think someone else already mentioned MiniVMac II. Myst seems to work that way with System 7.1 on my side, could be the .toast has to be converted to an uncompressed .img image to have it mounted with MiniVMac and System 7. DiskCopy 6 does create .img files from mounted volumes including toast, as ...

Exactly. My guess would be missing GPU support.
No way around that, except with an old Mac booting MacOS9 it seems.
Maybe Classic emulation in Tiger or lower would work too.

Guess we had several threads about MS Office above 4.3 not working with SheepShaver over the years. For both MS Office ´98 and 2001, QemuPPC, MacOS 9.2 is the way to go. If you want sound, you need to run a Screamer build. Cat_7 has some builds ready to try. In this thread is a link to a bootable US...

It looks like it does its thing in SheeShaver 8.6.
Not sure how to verify finally.

Strange, FWB-BackUp-ToolKit-3-0.2 is working on my side in Qemu and SheepShaver.
Only that I can´t see a benefit backing up files within an emulator when the whole disk image may be backed up on the host OS in an instant.

See here please, Con_79:

I doubt that MS Office 2001 will work anyway, as even 98 does not.
As far as I can tell, QemuPPC, MacOS 9 would be best to run MS Office higher than 4.3.

I was playing around with large HFS disk images a while ago. If memory serves, there were no issues reading or writing to a 30GB volume with Basilisk II. (Not saying it was wise using such a big volume with HFS.) I did not try file sharing though. The volume in question is hosted at Macintoshgarden:...

I did give the game (from Macintoshgarden) a short try and did not see any error 21 so far. Host was 10.14.6, guest MacOS 8.6. As the mouse is practically unusable for the game in SheepShaver, I would use Qemu (Screamer Build) instead. The mouse looks good in Qemu to me, video is looking better eith...

I´m under the impression that ProTools, like other "music" software, needed dedicated hardware to run. The required sound hardware often were add in cards of Nubus type. SheepShaver is emulating an early PCI Mac with a PPC 604 cpu. Apple dropped Nubus in favour of PCI after the PowerMac 81...

As for the PM, I was suggesting to look for compatible hardware, if playing the HP games is a must. A Mac Mini G4 would spring to mind, or a low end Core2Duo Hackintosh with Snow Leo and Rosetta. SurfaceBook2 looks like the Airbus A380 to me technology wise, where an old Boing 727 would be compatibl...

The .qcow2 image is booting with Cat_7´s Screamer build from April 2019. https://i.ibb.co/68TX4dG/Sreamer-04-2019.png I seem to recall that most of the QemuPPC proceedings are from 2019? Could it be that Limbo simply misses all those updates? That "someone" was me, btw. Not that I would fe...

You may want to read the notes on the page made 1017, where mrdav has originally uploaded the game file. https://macintoshgarden.org/games/harry-potter-and-the-sorcerers-stone User SkyCapt has pointed out his findings confirming that the game does need a OpenGL compatible GPU and a G3 Mac. Sorry to ...

Maybe something like this matches the original question?

Also there are many Mac magazine CD/DVD images collected at Macintoshgarden meanwhile.
I did add my Nautilus CDs some time ago: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/nautilus-vol-4-1993

For MiniVMac it is more convenient to have game files in an .dsk or .img container. I will add such image to the page here: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/bards-tale (3rd DL) Seems like the game runs equally well with Basilisk II and SheepShaver. A disk image container is not really needed for th...

Which version of Infini-D do you plan to run with SheepShaver, shubhi? Version 2.5.2 from Macintoshgarden is 68k coded and complains about a missing FPU. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/infini-d-the-3d-graphics-tool https://i.ibb.co/kKCmvRf/Infini252.png Usually 68k apps do run well with SheepShave...

I seem to recall that Apple CD Player was very picky with hardware.
Apple branded Sony CD hardware did play fine, third party CD players would not. That was with real Macs, mind you.
With Mac emulators it will be even less probable to play CD audio tracks that way.

As you copied over all your software, the path to the Unix folder most certainly changed.
Did you already adopt that setting to the new location?

If you still want to use Snow Leopard, a virtual machine is nice to have.
I´m using Leopard Server 10.5 occasionally in VMWare.

Thanks, it now hangs at the yellow screen: "No valid state has been set by load or init-program" Could it be my T420 Hackbook is not the best testing ground? Hardware model: MacBookPro8,1 Active cpus: 4 Boot args: -no_compat_check -lilubetaall -alcbeta I did enable apps from anywhere. Also...

No, the beast still refuses to do anything because of a missing library.



Off topic:
Your SheepShaver build runs like a charm with 10.15.1.
Basilisk II refuses to start, but it was late yesterday.

On Windows I would use IMGBurn, in macOS DiskUtility does create DVD/CD master files of .cdr type.
The .cdr may be renamed to .iso without damage, if need should be.

Thanks Cat_7! Both you mods are my all time heroes for getting this stuff fixed, answering even ignorant questions again and again and keeping the forum alive. I have an untouched Catalina instance where your Qemu Catalina build fails to start. Libs not found, boot disk not found - though I checked ...

@5: The USB stick was most likely not HFS(+) formatted. Chances are high that the files are damaged beyond repair. If you can, try again, this time with a HFS+ formatted USB stick. "Naked" classic Mac files must never travel via "foreign" file systems like Unix, Windows, DOS… In ...

The description here says the game requires a G3 or G4 Mac: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/zoo-tycoon Nobody checked the "works with SheepShaver" box so far. My guess is that the game is looking for a dedicated GPU and a PPC 750 CPU, which SheepShaver does not emulate. I´ll try and repo...

The MacOS installer volume MUST be made read only, either by your host OS or via the settings GUI. You may install MacOS 7.5.3 to 9.0.4, but note that the early OS versions do need the 4MB Old World ROM. See here please for a bootable 7.5.3 disk image in case you want to try that: https://macintoshg...

Good to know, thanks.
VirtualBox may be even easier to set up.
