#INSTALLING GAMES ON SHEEPSHAVER MAC OS#
SheepShaver is the best option if you want to run Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9.īasilisk II, the software I’m going to be demonstrating, fits snugly in the middle. The PowerPC chips were designed by the AIM Alliance (Apple, IBM and Motorola) and were used until 2006. In 1992, Apple started switching from using the Motorola 68K processors to the PowerPC chips. SheepShaver, on the other hand, emulates the PowerPC-based Macs. Mini vMac emulates compact Mac models (such as the Macintosh Plus, although it also supports models from the 128K to Classic.) Therefore, you’ll only get a black-and-white display and limited power. There are three “main” classic Macintosh emulators: Mini vMac, Basilisk II and SheepShaver. The website E-Maculation is dedicated to classic Macintosh emulators. (For instance, macOS is based on BSD UNIX the classic Mac isn’t.) macOS has evolved since Apple introduced it back in 2001 as Mac OS X, but it is very different from its precursor. The Macintosh operating system’s history is often split into two sections: the classic Macintosh OS, and the modern macOS. The Macintosh operating system has evolved greatly since its introduction in 1984. Since my DOSBox post, where I demonstrated classic MS-DOS software, I’ve wanted to find and use a classic Mac emulator to experience the classic Mac experience – to run classic Macintosh software, experience the user interface and see what has and hasn’t changed. Open the "Sound" (not "Moniters and Sound") control panel and set the output correctly so you can hear sound.Want to run yesterday’s Macintosh software on your modern Mac or PC? After the install, shut down and remove the CD. Use Special -> Shutdown to always shut down SheepShaver (just like a real Mac).

It should boot from the CD you can initialize your OS 9 hard drive and install OS 9.ġ5. Insert your OS 9 install disk, then launch "SheepShaver.app". If you get a disk with a blinking question mark, you're good so far quit SheepShaver (you may have to force quit).ġ4. The crash report is bogus just press "Close" or "Cancel" or whatever and SheepShaver will be fine (this will happen every time you launch it). SheepShaver itself should start now, and you will be told that it crashed. Turn off "Ignore Illegal Memory Accesses" and turn on "Don't Use CPU when idle".ġ3. Change the ROM path to /Users/username/sheepshaver/ROM (or wherever your "sheepshaver" folder is). In Memory/Misc, set the RAM size to something reasonable given your computer. In Serial/Network, make sure "slirp" is the Ethernet interface.ġ2. In Keyboard/Mouse, turn off "Use Raw Keycodes" and set "Mouse Wheel Function" to your liking if you have a mouse wheel (which isn't recognized by OS 9 so SheepShaver has to do something else to pretend).ġ1. Make sure "QuickDraw Acceleration" is on, and "Disable Sound" is off (don't worry about the Output and Mixer devices, they aren't used on OS X).ġ0. I would recommend you use a standard 4:3 resolution (one of the three I listed). Change the width/height to either 640x480, 800圆00, or 1024x768, depending on your screen size. In the "Graphics/Sound" tab, make sure that Window mode is selected (fullscreen will freeze!) with a refresh rate of 60hz. Change the "Unix Root" to /Users/username/sheepshaver/share (or wherever your "sheepshaver" folder is).ĩ. Press "OK" it will take a few moments to create the drive (the program hasn't frozen).Ĩ. Navigate to your "sheepshaver" folder and name the drive something like "os9hd". Change the size to something usable I would suggest 400-600 MB. Press "Create." in the window that appears. All of the releases for a while have been numbered 2.3, so the only way to tell them apart is the date.ħ. I would suggest keeping it seperate from the "sheepshaver" folder created above, and naming the application folder "SheepShaver-May06" (or whatever date the release was). Decompress SheepShaver and put it where you want. (You want the "MacOS X Universal Binary" near the bottom of the page.)ĥ.
(TomeViewer is a Classic app itself.) However you obtain the ROM, name it "ROM" and place it inside the "sheepshaver" folder.Ĥ.

I would suggest downloading a ROM update from Apple and using TomeViewer to extract the ROM.
The one in your Classic system folder may work (I've been told it should, but mine didn't). Create a folder "share" in the "sheepshaver" folder (for later).ģ. For the purposes of this, I'll assume that you chose /Users/username/sheepshaver.Ģ.
I would suggest something easy to type, like "sheepshaver" in your home directory. Create a folder for all the SheepShaver data to go into.
