hmmmm... by deleting old prefs file and starting afresh I would have thought that a new default invis prefs file would be created by SheepShaveer...I must be doing something wrong in meantime, .is there a link for a fresh prefs file that I could use..otherwise I'll have to resort to Time Machine bac...

Hi Ronald took ur advice but no good...I had the SheepShaver folder in the Applications folder. The app was inside the SheepShaver folder along with ROMs. I tried the new app in the SheepShaver folder. Also tried the app at root level of the Applications folder but no good.

Hi I was using SheepShaver a few years ago on older Mac OS X and Intel Macs without probs and worked fine. I've been using an Intel Mac running macOS 12.3.1 Monterey for last year OK. I upgraded the SheepShaver application to 2.5 build 2022-12-22 and keycode files and used my existing setup with its...

Ronald, thank you for the clarifications.

I've been using it to run an old computer music typesetting applic Coda's Finale 2.6.3 that's involved loading a lot of special music fonts.

It's been quite stable and I've been surprised at how fast everything is in emulation.

thanks again, cheers

Progress....seems OK

I ran Cocktail and did a cleanup of OS/User files, rebooted and did a startup file-system check, rebooted and ran SS and it know appears OK and can see the Unix directory

Progress.. SS running OK for a while including the UNIX shared folder on the desktop. However, after a few changes to the Prefs and reboots, now on startup I get an error saying "The disk "Unix" cannot be used because it cannot be found. I've checked and my shared folder "SheepSh...

Progress stalled at OS disk I tried a Mac OS 9 'generic' disk and mounted it on desktop. Ran SS and it ejects my CD-ROM from drive and the mac icon flashes I tried a disk image of OS9.0.4 "MacOS904CD_Intl.zip" from Macintosh Garden. It expands to a ".toast" image. I then mounted ...

Progress

I downloaded the SheepShaverPrefs.zip and expanded/ran the app. In the ROM field in put:

/Applications/SheepShaver/Mac OS ROM.rom

SheepShaver then ran. I'm now about to load the OS9 system file
