Re: Custom fonts on Mac OS 9?

I made the mistake of extracing the SIT on the host, not in SheepShaver. Works perfectly now. Thank you.

Re: Custom fonts on Mac OS 9?

I tried running Font Clerk (from archive.org) in both 9.0.4 in SheepShaver and 7.0.1 and 7.6.1 in BII, and got a -39 error each time. I should know how to avoid, this but I don't.

Re: Custom fonts on Mac OS 9?

The free FontForge app (for macOS, Windows, or Linux) can convert any current format to Mac-specific TrueType. Which host system are you using?

I believe you can also extract it with TomeViewer and run it as well, because the app automatically installs the scripting addition like you say.
TomeViewer doesn't recogize the Scrpit Debugger 1.0.3 installer as anything it can open, unfortunately.

Script Debugger 1.0.5 in Basilisk II

I've tried to install Script Debugger 1.0 in System 7.6.1, but always got an error message. I finally found the workaround: Install it in System 7.0.1, run the 1.0.5 updater on the same setup, and then copy the Script Debugger 1.0 folder to the 'Unix' disk, and from there, copy it into System 7.6.1....

Re: What apps (not games) do people actually use in BII/SS?

Actually, this was fairly easy to do. But I've got one problem: when I try to run MacDraw II 1.1 in either 7.5.5 or 7.6.1, I get a message saying there isn't enough memory to load the options or create a new document. I've got 256MB enabled in both systems. Is MacDraw one of those programs that need...

Re: What apps (not games) do people actually use in BII/SS?

Thank you for these. I'm trying to figure out a way to run rootless Basilisk II with different apps, depending on the name that you use for the AppleScript app that will actually launch BII. I think I see a way to do this, but haven't had time to finish it. When it's done, it will certainly run BBEd...

Re: SS will not run in Ventura

Do you have any notion as to why SS and Ventura don't get along running in OpenCore? Have you asked the OpenCore programmers? They're almost certainly the only ones who would know.

Re: SS will not run in Ventura

Once again: something is clearly wrong with your system, as you made clear when you reported other problems with screen savers, etc. The app that you reported about most recently is a different app from the one you tried earlier. The download links are on separate pages, not on the same page. Both o...

Re: SS will not run in Ventura

Something seems to be wrong with your Monterey system also, and possibly whatever was wrong there got carried over into your Ventura setup. That ZIP archive was made with macOS's "compress" command, not with anything that isn't compatible with macOS. Probably a reinstall of both systems wo...

Re: SS will not run in Ventura

Something seems to be wrong with your system. The ZIP archive expands perfectly on two different machines here. Possibly the same thing that's going wrong with expanding the ZIP is also what's going wrong with SheepShaver. You may want to reinstall Ventura on your machine. Meanwhile, try the downloa...

For a project I'm working on, for public distribution, I would be grateful to know of "classic" applications (not games) that people actually use. I know there's a small community of WordPerfect users. But what else is in reasonably common use? For example, is anyone using AppleWorks/Clari...

Re: Usb floppy drive on sheepshaver (Windows)

I don't know if I'm wasting your time with an impractical suggestion, but you might try using Winimage to write the image file (assuming that you have one) to your Teac floppy. There are various menu items that may or may not work.

And I've now updated my fork to include SDL2 2.24.2 so that it can produce usable code even if a later version is installed in the /Library/Frameworks folder when you build:

Re: A "rootless" app running a no-desktop BasiliskII

SDL2 2.24.2 works correctly.

2.26.0 and later versions produce a black window.

If someone can figure out what relevant detail changed in 2.26.0, then maybe this can be fixed, but I certainly can't figure it out.
