Using SheepShaver (along with the appropriate ROM image) it is possible to emulate a PowerPC Macintosh computer capable of running Mac OS 7.5.2 through 9.0.4. Builds of SheepShaver are available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. SheepShaver is considered a good replacement for the [[wp>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_(Mac_OS_X)|Classic Environment]] which is not available in the most recent versions of Mac OS X. ===== Getting Started ===== Setup guides for the [[sheepshaver setup|Windows]], [[sheepshaver mac os x setup|Mac OS X]] and [[sheepshaver_basiliskii_linux|Linux]] builds of SheepShaver are available. We also host a busy SheepShaver [[https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=20|support forum]]. Please note that SheepShaver requires users to supply a [[macintosh rom images|ROM image]] and a copy of Mac OS. ==== Download the Latest Version ==== * [[https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5325|SheepShaver for Windows]] * [[https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7360|SheepShaver for OSX/macOS]] * [[https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6553|SheepShaver for Linux]] ==== Helpful Files ==== * [[https://www.emaculation.com/sheepshaver/SheepShaverPrefs.zip|Prefs Editor]] (for SheepShaver for Mac OS X) * [[https://www.emaculation.com/sheepshaver/DiskTools85_PPC.img|Disk Tools 8.5]] (a bootable disk image) * [[https://www.emaculation.com/sheepshaver/SDL-1.2.13-win32.zip|SDL 1.2 Libraries]] (used with SheepShaver for Windows) * [[https://www.emaculation.com/sheepshaver/gtk+-2.10.13-setup.exe|GTK +2 Runtime]] (used with SheepShaver for Windows) ===== Documentation and Help===== * [[sheepshaver setup|Setting up SheepShaver for Windows]] * [[sheepshaver mac os x setup|Setting up SheepShaver for Mac OS X]] * [[sheepshaver_basiliskii_linux|Setting up SheepShaver in Linux]] * [[sheepshaver_basilisk_printing|Printing from SheepShaver and BasiliskII (Windows and Mac OS X)]] * [[appletalk for sheepshaver|Appletalk for SheepShaver for Mac OS X]] * [[appletalk for sheepshaver Windows|Appletalk for SheepShaver for Windows]] * [[sheepshaver online guide|Getting online in SheepShaver for Windows]] * [[sheepshaver roms|Extracting a ROM image]] * [[benchmarks|SheepShaver benchmarks]] ===== History ===== SheepShaver began life in 1998 as a MacOS emulator for BeOS. At that time, SheepShaver was a commercial product developed by [[Christian Bauer]]. In 2002, following the commercial decline of Be, SheepShaver was released as an open-source application. Development at that time was driven by Gwenole Beauchesne, who ported the emulator to Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Beauchesne suspended his work on SheepShaver in April of 2008, although volunteers have contributed bug fixes and features since that time. Builds based on those contributions are listed on this site and in the [[http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=20|SheepShaver forum]]. The name of the emulator is a reference to [[ShapeShifter]], a Mac II emulator for AmigaOS. ===== Screenshots ===== {{:ss_on_osx.png?150x112}} {{:bildschirmphoto16.jpg?150x112}} {{:sheepwp.jpg?150x112}} {{:evdjx.png?150x112}} {{:5xsheepshaver.jpg?150x112}} {{:49387318.png?150x112}}
