Sheepshaver stopped working in El Capitan

Post by trevorpsy »

I recently upgraded to El Capitan from Mountain Lion on my early 2008 Mac Pro.

At first, all went well. Sheep Shaver launched without incident. A couple days later it started crashing on launch if another program was running, and then it failed altogether. It acts as if it can't find a ROM file.

I've rebuilt it from scratch a couple times, and there's nothing doing.

How do I fix this thing?

Thanks,

Trevor Monroe

Please show us the contents of your SheepShaver prefs file:

Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/) and type at the prompt

Code: Select all

open ~/.sheepshaver_prefs
followed by a return.
The file will open in your default text editor. Select all content, copy it, and paste it here in your reply.
