Thanks for that, I disabled SELinux and that allowed SheepShaver to run! So using the command: ./SheepShaver --rom ~/mac_oldworld_rom4b.rom --cdrom ~/MacOS86.iso --jit false the operating system started to boot showing the Mac OS 8.6 splash screen before exiting with a segmentation fault. I tried ru...

Thanks for that idea, I tried it inside virtualbox but I couldn't get it to work out I tried hard with the new ubuntu but I just can't get it to build, so I tried with fedora and managed to build it without trouble but the vm.mmap_min_addr=0 thing doesn't seem to be working because it always "C...

Hello, I built sheepshaver following the guide for Unix on linux x86_64 and I have tried with oldworld and newworld roms, and a couple different images and CD's for mac os 8.6 and 9 but I can't get it to boot. When I first tried I got notes about the CPU features and then SIGSEGV pointing to 0x40b14...

Beautiful!! Thanks a lot! I wonder why when I compile it it crashes on launch but your build works well

In fact the SDL binary proivide is working in fullscreen mode and does let me use thousands of colors! I had to use 640x480 because in 800x600 I was getting some green/maroon bars across the screen. I would really like to get windowed mode working though.

Using these commands ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdirectfb-1.2.so.9 /usr/lib/libdirectfb-1.2.so.0 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfusion-1.2.so.9 /usr/lib/libfusion-1.2.so.0 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdirect-1.2.so.9 /usr/lib/libdirect-1.2.so.0 (slightly modified version of what was...

I think so too. Have you tried building your own version? I will give it a try once I have a virtual machine with Debian installed. (Will take some days....) Best, Cat_7 Yes I can compile it and it does run, but as soon I try to launch my mac os (which does work in the binary) it crashes with segme...

It seems the X server (at least the one for OS X) doesn't support the thousands of colours option.
Most likely the same is true on the Linux X server.

Best,

Thanks that makes sense! does that mean I'm out of luck if I want the emulator to go into thousands mode?

Hello I am trying to play Riven in Sheepshaver and one thing is requires is thousands of colors but my Mac OS 9 installation inside Sheepshaver has everything but thousands - it can do black and white, 256 colors and even millions of colors. Do you know anything I can try to get Mac OS to allow me t...
