Re: Running Game in SheepShaver "Failed to startup -1856"
Did you unstuff the .sit file on an emulated hard drive? Not directly on a host drive. You need to do that.
Seems to run fine on my setup - 1GB RAM, ROM 1995 PM7200,7500,8500,9500 [7.5.2 SE701-9.1 512-1.5GB].rom:

Re: Run game in Mac OS9 with Sheepshaver
I tried it. I got the same error ( Win10 SheepShaver_06-05-2013 ) under 9.04. It does run under 8.5.
If you didn't, you need to unstuff the .sit file on a hard disk image within the emulator - that might fix your icons up. As emendelson has said.

Re: SheepShaver for Windows
How much memory have you allocated to the virtual machine? Possibly too much, and the addressing is getting confused.

Thanks, yes. I have various of those, but I can't get OS 9 to install with them, while your wip builds work on Win-64-bit machine.
Once again, thanks for the responses - the "support" here is most generous and kind.

Some Qemu NOOB questions
I have been battling to find answers on the net here. Windows user. 1. I see from the Mac batch commands some have posted that the disk image names can be quoted like -drive file="somefile". On Windows Qemu does not seem to like this. Is there a way? 2. Some of the wip binaries and/or bios...

Got 9.22 up, and booting. Had to try the install twice - first time it had an error installing/reading Big System Morsels so I tried again and it worked. I am just installing the basic system - no "optional extras" in the installer. Clearly there is still something flaky in the i/o. Batch:...

Is there any reason you do not add it on the screen line, as it used to be and as still works on some older Win compiles IIRC, like:

Yes -- it's a quick hack. However, it's also a bit more subtle than that -- the xpram gets written back after the BII process is spun up, not after it quits.
