Re: Mac System 7/8 games with smooth scrolling?
Macintosh Repository has a Side Scrolling category. I think I remember Abuse for its point and kill interface.

Re: Programming my own Mac emulator
I'm able to boot from a floppy with a 7200/120 ROM, but I can't get to the Happy Mac if there's either a CD-ROM or hard drive attached (Incomplete SCSI emulation, perhaps?). My fork will boot 7200 from SCSI CD or HD (7.5.3 to 9.0.4). I haven't checked the upstream fork. I was able to install 8.6 wh...

Re: Create Emulation fro complete disk image
Use diskutil list to get a list of partitions. You can use the hdiutil command in Mac OS X to create a disk image from a HDD, CD, or partition. Alternatively, the dd command could be used (though you probably should increase the block size to 1MB make it copy faster). If you image the CD_partition_s...

Re: Programming my own Mac emulator
Does that mean you've got memory regions working now? I can't imagine running OS X with 8MB RAM.... The pm6100 emulation can have up to 264 MB with a couple minor changes to the emulation code. pm6100 and anything with a PowerPC 601 can't boot OS X. OS X won't work on a NuBus Mac even if it has a G...

Re: Tiger for Intel on VMs
Tiger for Intel works fine on VMWare Fusion x86, VirtualBox x86 and Parallels Desktop x86, and has done for over a decade. There's one tweak you need to make on VMWare to allow it to boot: add a single file to the System folder that makes VMWare think it's the Server version of Tiger. Once you've b...

Re: Tiger for Intel on VMs
Parallels Desktop for Mac can boot everything from 10.5 onward. 10.5 and 10.6 use a script added to the disk image to get around the Mac OS X Server requirement. I couldn't get 10.4.11 to work with Parallels so I used Virtual Box for that. Maybe it could work with Parallels if there was a way to mod...

Re: SheepShaver version 2.5 for MacOSX/macOS for testing
This version seems to have great promise except the CAPS LOCK does not work. Has anyone else run into that problem? Thanks! Great effort. You're right. Caps Lock isn't working as expected with 2.5. Caps Lock works like the Shift key. If you hold Caps Lock down, then you'll get capital letters. Caps...

Re: SheepShaver version 2.5 for MacOSX/macOS for testing
I am surprised it runs in 10.6 at all. The application is configured to run in 10.7 and up. In 10.6.8, #3 has slower drawing than #1 and #2 and in full screen mode there is artifacts in the top right corner when moving the mouse (black rectangle/triangles in the menu bar). You do not mention the an...

Re: SheepShaver version 2.5 for MacOSX/macOS for testing
It seems to work in Lion just fine (didn't work with my first Lion partition). It also seems to work in Snow Leopard. Tests: Start Sheep Shaver. Test full screen with Control-Return. Switch to Windowed mode. Shut Down from Mac OS 9 Finder. Versions: #1 2.4 20140201 (full screen is scaled but not edg...

Any application can be scaled arbitrarily but only if they are purposefully made resolution independent which SheepShaver is not :-( http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110322011218363 http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/HiDPIOverview/Introductio...

On that note, does anyone here know if it's possible to have multiple partitions with different partition formats in the same disk image? (for Sheepshaver or for any other non-emulation purpose) Disk Utility.app lets you create a read/write disk image with a single partition. You can then use Disk ...

The error is not 3d graphics related. I've gotten the same error message while trying to run MPW from the Unix drive. Moving MPW to the boot image works. I'm using SheepSaver 2009-10-25 on Snow Leopard. It's probably a bug in the extfs code. The bug may or may not be related to the issue where MPW r...

AppleTalk/LocalTalk is not supported on Keyspan devices even on old Macs that can run Mac OS 9 natively so it won't work in SheepShaver either. LocalTalk does weird things to the Serial Communications Controller (SCC) on old Macs to select special modes that differ from the standard asynchronous ser...
