For BasiliskII and SheepShaver builds posted here, at least on macOS (not sure about Windows) there are advanced settings for changing the scaling algorithms that will improve display on high resolution (Retina) screens. These are explained in the setup manuals: BasiliskII: https://www.emaculation.c...

How much RAM did you give BasiliskII and/or SheepShaver? 256MB or 512MB should be plenty for any normal use. There is no relation between rom files and how much RAM you can or should give to the emulators. Because of the way BasiliskII and SheepShaver use memory on the host, there may sometimes be i...

Good to know that SheepShaver runs on M1 Macs with the help of Rosetta 2. I expect future arm64 or universal (x86_64 arm64) builds. kanjitalk755 made his fork ready to build for Apple Silicon. It has not been tested yet. It seems the code was excluded later to avoid errors in Xcode 12.2 See his post...

This is the normal behaviour in MacOS up to versions 7.x. Click on the menu to open it and while holding the mouse button move the cursor to the menu item you want to choose and then release the mouse button. If you prefer OS8 (and later) style "sticky menus", you can try the "StickyC...

Probably an application package, a Mac OS X application, not a Classic Mac application. A 'universal' application from that era could run in Mac OS X on both PPC and Intel.

You did exactly as instructed. The file should be created in the folder where the GUI app resides, if you followed the setup guide that will be the BasiliskII folder. It works fine here in Catalina.

I suppose you did not install MacOS9 yourself, as instructed in our setup manual, but instead used a pre-installed boot image like the one you can download from Redundant Robot. That image does not contain a full MacOS installation and, as you noticed, it does not have room for additional installati...

You are running SheepShaver on OSX or macOS. Applications cannot run from the 'Unix' disk or from the desktop when the application was moved directly from 'Unix' to the desktop (which still leaves it on 'Unix', in a hidden folder "Desktop Folder"). The message that an application cannot ru...

I do not understand how you could have spent hours installing Mac OS. If SheepShaver cannot find or open a ROM file, you cannot even start to install Mac OS in the emulator. Did you install a compatible (old world or new world) ROM file and did you follow our setup guide, configuring SheepShaver Set...

Which is your host system? The corresponding keys may differ if your host is a Windows machine. I understand you want to rebuild the desktop files. Is there a reason why you want to do that? Do you see signs of desktop file corruption, like incorrect icons or files not opening with the creator appli...

Considering that SheepShaver did run before the work on the hardware of the host machine, that you did not replace the hard disk, that you did not make any changes to SheepShaver settings, and that you made no changes to the files in the SheepShaver folder (except maybe the SheepShaver application i...

This is indeed the prefs file that contains SheepShaver settings. With these settings, the used "disk" volume files, the "rom" file Mac OS ROM, and the SheepShaver application itself should be together inside the SheepShaver folder. (Did you use all six MacOS9 disk images mounted...

Is the 'Apple Audio Extension' needed in MacOS in Qemu? In SheepShaver, if it happens to be installed (not with a default installation), it is best removed because of possible crashes. Sound works there fine without the extension.

SheepShaver and BasiliskII are not dead at all. "the main developer abandoned ship some time ago" possibly refers to Gwenole Beauchesne, who "suspended" development in 2006. That did not stop development. Many developers have contributed since. In 2012 the original B2-devel code ...

I corrected the image link. You need to enter the address of the image itself to be displayed here, not the address were the image is posted. From the image I cannot tell if the Mac OS ROM file is the correct file and if the name does indeed not have a (possible hidden) extension. - Did you download...

This thread started with the ClarisCAD not able to save to the Unix drive. Most applications do not have problems with the Unix drive. In my SheepShaver setup in Catalina I tried several applications and it is only SimpleText that cannot save to 'Unix'. However, the problem with ClarisCAD is differe...

Yes, I find the same issue trying to save a SimpleText document to 'Unix' with macOS 10.15 (Catalina). I did not notice it before and so far no one else reported this. I can save an AppleWorks document to 'Unix' without issues, though. Apparently it does not affect all applications in OS9. That may ...

Right now im in the middle of setting up my SheepShaver folder so that it can run but so far the app is closing when I click on it SheepShaver will quit on launch when it does not find a compatible rom file where it expects one. Did you follow these instructions in the setup manual? - Download a co...

If your question is: How do I mount an ISO disk image in SheepShaver? Then the answer is: Add the .iso file to the volumes list in the GUI or preferences and save the change.* At next launch of SheepShaver the disk will then appear on the SheepShaver desktop (= will be mounted in SheepShaver). * I m...

We do not give a direct link because it this board's policy is to not link to EULA or copyright protected material. Pre-configured SheepShaver setups do contain such software from Apple. Search the internet for: Mac OS 9 for macOS The very first result in Google will probably be "Mac OS 9 for O...

Whatever the cause, apparently this does not work for you. Better get rid of this COIV4.0.1+ and follow emendelson's advice above. You will find another easy to set up SheepShaver configuration that, in contrast to the abandoned COIV4.0.1+, is still actively being developed and supported (by emendel...

None of the .dmg disk images shown are startup disk images. The first three are empty and the other two do not exist. For some unknown reason the startup volume does not appear. The volumes written to the preferences file after Classic.app is launched at least once should be: disk /Users/ronald/Desk...

Note that we do not support COI. It should run on macOS Sierra, though. Just launch the "Classic" application, nothing else is needed. The .dmg files are only needed in the /Users/Shared/ folder when you need more disk space. Strange that SheepShaver does not find the startup disk. That di...

Great!

Yes, indeed, the RetroPie community should have a better look at the BasiliskII source code that is used and at the way BasiliskII is compiled and build. All BasiliskII forks that I am aware of, read the keycodes entries in the configuration (prefs) file since at least 1996.
