ERROR: Cannot open ROM file.

Post by robertbon »

I would be grateful if anyone can help me.

I am trying to run SheepShaver on my MacBook (OS X 10.5.8 ) to emulate OS 9.0.4.

I have followed instructions provided and copied the Mac OS ROM file on the CD to the SheepShaver folder, but when I try and run the program it crashed on launch.

I looked via terminal and this is what is displayed:

SheepShaver V2.3 by Christian Bauer and Mar"c" Hellwig
ERROR: Cannot open ROM file.
logout

[Process completed]

Is there anything I am doing wrong? Any pointers is the right direction would be gratefully received.

You could try another ROM image. As we always mention (because we don't host them) do a search for "redundant robot sheepshaver" on google to download a ROM.

Also:

Did you name the file "Mac OS ROM"?

The guide mentions that necessity:
