Hmm... seemed like a good idea, so I installed from System Additions disk (6.0.8). But it's behaving the same way as Print2Pict 1.x: Chooser lets me select the printer, but various applications (Photoshop 1.0, SuperPaint, MacWrite 4.6) will not let me do Page Setup or Print, saying "There is no...

Under System 6.0.8 / Mini vMac, I ought to be able to print to some kind of file, even though without networking cant' print to an actual printer. I think Adobe Acrobat's PDFWriter came along in the post-Sys6 world, and likewise the freeware Print to PDF, but wasn't Print2Pict available back in Syst...

if you have installed additional software in BasiliskII that installs files in the System Folder OK, I feel rather foolish. You'd think I'd spend enough time running System 7 natively back in the day to remember the usefulness and necessity of futzing with extensions and control panels. The virtual...

The Aqua / MacOS-native port of Basilisk (Basilisk II 1.0, Mac OS X port 19, downloaded from here ), 99% of the time, launches, shows smiling Mac, the blue MacOS screen, march of icons as extensions and control panels load, Desktop background loads, then *spoop*, window closes, Basilisk crashes, and...

I've got the X11 version of Basilisk running within the MacOS X (10.6.8) environment. (I've run the Aqua-GUI version but it crashes if you so much as look at it sideways and when it does it eats the virtual hard drive until I mount it in the X11 version while booting from a different startup disk). ...

Yeah, I'm familiar with that... I have to do that when executing PearPC in the Windows environment within Parallels. But in the Mac X11 environment the graphical PPC window is unresponsive to mouse and keyboard. I can Command-Tab and make sure it's the active window (when I do, the mouse arrow compl...

That worked sort of

It is now executing the binary and I get the next window, the one in which I confirm which drive to boot from.

It doesn't accept keystrokes though

I need to enter a 1 to boot from the virtual hard drive.

...It's a X application, to be started from a Terminal window. Go to the folder you downloaded the application in and execute the command: ./ppc "name_of_your_config_file" bash-3.2$ pwd /Users/ahunter3/ahunter resources/pearpc_osx_generic bash-3.2$ ./ppc PearPC.cfg bash: ./ppc: No such fi...

Virtual machines (tnat create a different OS environment but on the same native processor as the environment running it) should not impose much of a speed hit even when nested. True emulators do . And nesting them generally is not very practical. DOABLE, yes: :mrgreen: http://home.earthlink.net/~ahu...

Long-term SheepShaver user here (PPC platform, dating back to PowerBook G3 1008 Series, currently on PowerBook G4 / 10.4.11). I see no differences between this and prior builds. No major complaints either way, but "it" (whatever "it" may be) crashes, or at least OS X says that Sh...

That was it. I'm posting this from iCab running on MacOS 8.6 within SheepShaver.

Appreciate your patience and help!

Didn't work with AirPort either. I had the idea of turning on Internet Sharing (OSX Sharing PrefsPane), that also made no difference. The MacOS 8.6 environment is a diskimage originally made from a fully functional bootable OS 8.6 volume on my 'WallStreet' PowerBook. It definitely had no networking ...

I will experiment with AirPort Express when I get home. It lets multiple computers connect wirelessly and get IP addresses. See if SheepShaver likes that better.

Thanks for an entirely reasonable suggestion. (It's DSL over phone wires rather than cable for whatever that's worth...no diff, right?) My girlfriend and I have a hub, to which she has her computer attached and I have my Mac attached. We get different IP addresses from PPPoE, no problem. I've also h...

Thanks for that. Don't know how I managed to miss it in the above post. Unfortunately, no, I'm still getting the same error. I've installed a browser (iCab) , same error (-3221) there as well. Installed an old network utility, AGNetTools, which initially reports my IP address as 0.0.0.1, then when I...

How the heck do I find out the addresses SheepShaver slirp uses? In fact, I can't even parse that phrase. Is there some missing step I was supposed to take that I didn't take? "The addresses SheepShaver slirp uses"... is there a thing, somewhere, known as "SheepShaver slirp"? I j...

No, I'm not getting online. For example, I open Fetch, specify ftp.hawaii.edu which is a reliable FTP site for anonymous FTP, and it throws Error -3221 If you're uncertain and think I might nevertheless have internet connectivity I will run SheepShaver through a battery of different internet-capable...

::bump::

That's exactly the URL I've got bookmarked, though!

Well, must just be a Shiira glitch.

Odd one, though. And only for this site. (I should try to find another phpBB2-powered site and see if I get the same behavior. Most of the boards I frequent are vBulletin)

I have returned using Shiira 2.2, same problem. To answer Stephen Coates : I came to this thread just now without logging in first. Within the "General Macintosh Emulation" section, and then again within this thread itself, it continued to say I was not logged in. Tried to create this post...

Y'all don't seem to have a Forum About This Board Itself kind of thingie in here.

Any clue as to why I have to log in manually every single time, despite checking the "Remember me" checkbox?

MacOS X 10.4.10, Shiira 1.2.1

Not working:

Do I need to do something on the host OS (MacOS X 10.4.10) side in order to have it allocate a DHCP address to the SheepShaver environment? (Aside from being online?)

Sorry for the late follow-thru (the board was down and then I got distracted)... can someone treat me like the Compleat Idiot that I apparently am and walk me through the process of configuring SheepShaver so that my internet apps can function properly?
