Re: Cannot Change Macintosh HD Icon to Modern os9 icon

Thanks for the Windows clipboard tip - it was getting infernally frustrating.

Re: Comment lines in prefs file

Thank you for the reply. I am just testing my Basilisk and Sheepshaver frontends and, to try to future-proof in a small way I am allowing 10 enter-it-yourself parameters. The concept has helped with the Qemu frontend which requires changes as time passes. There is no need for them at this time, but ...

Comment lines in prefs file

Is it possible to have comment lines in Sheepshaver and Basilisk prefs files?

Thanks.

Edit. It seems to ignore lines it does not understand, so maybe that is how to comment.

Re: SheepShaver for Windows

I'd be interested to know what the experts here make of the Sheepshaver 'Deluxe' pack that is up on the Internet Archive.

Re: Qemu package and guide for Windows available

Is it possible to run that Snow Leopard PPC beta under Qemu? I tried, but I get a kernel panic after a while during boot. (To be expected I suppose!)

Re: Qemu package and guide for Windows available

Final Leopard success on attempt no 3. The first two failed as the installer could not make the install volume (new clean drive images, different sizes) the startup volume, and of course they would not boot. So I copied my Tiger drive image and installed onto there. Still, the installer said 'Fail',...

Maybe that is the issue. I'll try that ( when Leopard has had its 5 hours and 50 minutes! ).

Thank you very much for the prompt answer. Thanks for the info on the drives - that helps. I have found a couple more Leopards and will try them.

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:

The ( much appreciated ) setup guide here:

"ROMs from Quadra and Performa machines work best"

A trip to the Internet Archive might help:

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.
