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). For the purposes of this, I'll assume that you chose Like 'sheepshaver' in your home directory. Create a folder for all the SheepShaver data to go into.Here's the steps (borrowed from the Ambrosia Software Web Board and edited by yours truly): If you don't have the right disk, you will be unable to complete installation. You have the right OS 9 install disk - one that is OS 9.0.4 or earlier and effectively one that did NOT come with another Mac, but was one that was bought To do so, you'll need a 'generic' or 'universal' Mac OS 8 or OS 9 install disk (SheepShaver currently supports OS 9.0.4 or earlier), access to an OS 9 machine (or toĪn OS X machine that can run Classic), and about 30 minutes of your time. Wrong-O! You can install SheepShaver, which isĪ MacOS PPC emulator on your Intel machine. To run on OS 9/Classic Mode now that you have an Intel machine. PowerPC CPU emulator by Gwenole BeauchesneĪnybody have the same experience or any hints on how I can boot SheepShaver from the 9.Since Intel machines don't allow Classic to run anymore, you might think that you can no longer develop Revolution apps WARNING: No audio device found, audio output will be disabled. WARNING: Cannot open /dev/dsp (No such file or directory) WARNING: Cannot open /dev/mixer (No such file or directory) WARNING: Cannot open /dev/cdrom (No such file or directory) SheepShaver V2.4 by Christian Bauer and Mar”c” Hellwig The following is the console output from $. I’ve also tried fiddling with the bootdrive value in sheepshaver_prefs – also no change in behaviour.

I’ve tried the “Troubleshooting” hint in the blog of replacing “disk” with “cdrom” in the line which reads “disk /home/pi/mac9x/9.iso” in the file /home/pi/.sheepshaver_prefs – to no avail. The response is a grey background with a 3.5 floppy icon with flashing question mark “?” – this suggests to me that the emulator is bootstrapping from the ROM ok, but that I am failing to boot from the CDROM ( i.e 9.iso)

I did the OS 7 install with Mini VMac – great fun! Now I am trying to get OS 9 running with SheepShaver per the instructions in the video, but I’m hitting a snag.Įverything follows the video fine until I try to boot from the 9.iso image.
