We need to find the encoding for Simplified Chinese. Is that correct?

OK that will do, that is SheepShaver version 2.5, creation date 1 March 2021, or possibly 2 March when you are in China. (You will find version number and creation date when you select the application icon and hit command-I (which which show the Finder Info panel for the selected file). For the test...

Thanks for the prefs content. You did not yet answer question 1:

Which SheepShaver build do you use now? (Version number and creation date)

The current minimal home page with links to the wiki and the forum was added by me recently, in August last year. Before that, when you went to https://emaculation.com (or https://www.emaculation.com ), you came to the page that is now https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php (or https://emaculation.com...

If you want to go ahead and try the name encoding feature that kanjitalk755 introduced, please reply to my post here: viewtopic.php?p=70361#p70361

We may have a solution. kanjitalk755 added a new prefs item "name_encoding". As Apple does not provide documentation about the used file name encoding or the apparent backward compatibility for reading old (classic MacOS) filenames in MacOSX, finding the correct encoding keyword will be a ...

You can download the two CD disk images from Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/black-white-platinum-pack I am not sure how well it will run in SheepShaver. The minimum requirements include 3D graphics accelerator which is not emulated in SheepShaver. And you will need to have Carbo...

Which is your OSX or macOS host system? Creating disk images in this way is not possible in macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later.

"This is an issue with the Unix/shared folder feature."—————— OK, thank you. If this problem can be solved, please tell me the way. You cannot solve it and neither can I. If it can be solved, and I think it can, it must be done by the developer. We use the fork by kanjitalk755. If he can ...

I had to figure out how SimpleText works and I find out the option bar up the OS. In Windows, the menu bars are at the top of the windows. On a Mac (from 1984 till now) the menu bar is always at the top of the screen. The menus and menu items change to the ones belonging to the application that is ...

OK, now I think I understand. 1. When the external file system feature in SheepShaver for Windows is used (My Computer icon), Chinese characters in file names are displayed correctly on the SheepShaver side, but classic Mac file attributes are lost. As far as I can imagine, there is no solution for ...

Please be more clear about your setup, because I still do not understand.

What is the location of the shared folder of which the content is shown in "Unix" in SheepShaver?

It is strange that sheepshaver under windows can mount NTFS disk correctly and display Chinese characters. I am quite sure that NTFS disks cannot be "mounted" in SheepShaver for Windows. I suppose a NTFS disk can be accessed through "My Computer". The Unix/shared folder in Sheep...

Maybe you should explain more about your setup. What has a NTFS disk to do with the Unix/shared folder feature in OSX?

Do you use a NTFS disk that is mounted in OSX (or folder on it) as shared folder for SheepShaver OSX?

Well, if you read this and the other topic, you will see that "shelsm" did try. Summarising: Chinese file names are not displayed correctly in the "Unix" volume (shared folder) in SheepShaver OSX and still not when those files are copied from "Unix" to the virtual HD in...

If the same backward compatibility policy was used in 2017, the earliest OSX version that version 2.7 could be used with would be OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
September 2017 macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) was released.

This reply is for the regular SheepShaver setup (not for Edward Mendelson's pre-configured setup). Please follow our setup manual to the letter: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver_mac_os_x_setup For MacOS 7.5.3 through 8.1, use the suggested oldworld rom file. For MacOS 8.5 through 9.0...

Strange, especially strange that it affects only MacOS 9.0.4.
But do you actually use File Sharing in SheepShaver?

The "Unix" feature is not available in SheepShaver for windows. Instead, there is the "My computer" icon. I have no answers to your questions, sorry. I do not understand your setup with different computers and server and what is the need or purpose of that complicated setup. Your...

Why can't the server file folder be made into a disk image?

Well, the issue is apparently with the Unix/shared folder over a network connection. I do not know if this can be resolved.

The best way will be to create a new empty disk image of sufficient size. If this works with files names intact, it can be used to move files between SheepShaver guest and OSX host. - Start Disk Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder) - From the File menu, choose New Image > Blank Image... ...

Information may get lost on the "Unix" drive which is not a HFS or HFS+ volume. You can see that when you select "Unix" and check Finder Info for the volume. The format is seen by the Finder as "Unix Directory Tree". I am trying to find out if it is the Unix/shared fold...

Now the problem is that there is no need to copy. In the Chinese simplified macosx10.9, the file names in the folder are all Chinese characters. After the folder is mounted as UNIX and displayed on the macos9 desktop, finder opens the UNIX folder, and the file displayed in simplified Chinese is gar...

There are different possible encodings for languages like Chinese. I suppose UTF-8 is normally used in OSX. I am not sure which encoding was used in Classic MacOS.
