Re: Compiling SheepShaver on Catalina

I will try cleaning everything out and starting as fresh as possible...

I've been meaning to delve into the SS source code for some time. I want to modify its functionality to show and hide the SDL window on command. There are other tweaks I plan to do. But first, I'm just trying to get it to build from source. Compiling from Xcode 11.31, I now get the following error: ...

Re: TS Replacement Finder for SS Wrapper

Well the MPW Shell is actually a front end for direct toolbox calls. MPW Shell/ToolServer is only a temporary solution. For some reason, Apple created this really nice scripting language (MPW Shell) and didn't provide a way to compile it into executable applications. I'm guessing that the C++ direct...

Re: TS Replacement Finder for SS Wrapper

There are a number of next steps towards hiding emulation. Darkening out the startup screen, or implementing communication between a modified SS and ToolServer in order to prevent the user from seeing any OS9 outside the application are possible next options. Depending on the OS version, you should...

TS Replacement Finder for SS Wrapper

Hi everyone! Long time no talk. Last I was on these forums, I was working on a replacement finder for wrapped SheepShaver applications. A Finder replacement is preferable to using AppleScript because: 1) it jails the user inside the application, 2) it reduces boot time and gives a much more native a...

Nearest Neighbor Scaling in SS Fullscreen Mode

Does anyone know if it's possible to use nearest neighbor scaling instead of linear interpolation in fullscreen mode? It looks like it's using nearest neighbor in windowed mode. It just looks so terrible in fullscreen. Eventually, I would like to fix the display size to the largest multiple of the g...

That said, I don't think there are any hacks of the Apple Mac ROMs. I'm not sure about hacks per se, but there is a reverse engineered new world rom. You might have already heard of it: https://github.com/elliotnunn/powermac-rom It produces a byte-perfect copy of the rom, so in theory it should mak...

Re: A possibly more convenient SheepShaver build for macOS

Hmm... I'll have to find myself a copy of Xcode 9.4 as the newer versions do not compile 32-bit applications. I don't have an Apple developer account (though maybe I should get one at some point). Or maybe I'll just have to compile in the terminal. It's worth keeping in mind if someone writes a new ...

Cool! Well, I'll start with building SS from source, which I have not done yet *palm to forehead*. No promises though, I have a really good feeling I'll get buggered and wind up coming back to it later. Also, do you happen to know who the main contributors/moderators are for SS's source code? I know...

Re: [macOS] make PPC software run natively on macOS – Rosett

It is 'possible' to get OSX applications to run on x86 OSX with a PPC emulator core (although the software for it does not yet exist). It would be way easier to build something with an open source PPC emulator than try to modify or wrap Rosetta. It's called "user mode emulation". QEMU can ...

Re: Why does SheepShaver simply not work?

SS is definitely the easiest to set up. There is QEMU, but setup is a lot harder and requires some work in CLI. Also, getting all the flags right is a pain. The easiest way to get SS working is to find a pre-built package. If you're really into classic mac emulation, it's better to learn to install ...

Re: AppleScript to launch app, shut down when closing app

It's not a hugely reliable solution though. Sometimes shut down doesn't work for who knows what reason. It's much better to replace the Finder with the application. It also boots faster and prevents Finder or the user from messing with the OS and destabilizing the wrapped program. But that doesn't c...

Re: AppleScript to launch app, shut down when closing app

Here is the solution:

Code: Select all

tell application "Finder"
	open file "Macintosh HD:ApplicationName"
	shut down
end tell
If the application is launched as a file with finder, the finder will issue the shut down command once that application is quit.
