Re: Mac OS 9 and X Emulation in QEMU / LIMBO for Android?
I repeatedly downloaded a Mac ROM and emulator, and tried running Mac Classic under Windows, but without success. Then I went to: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/macos9win.html and all went well. I've had this up and running on two ASUS laptops for a few years now. I used a thumb drive to transport Ma...

Re: installing mac classic applications
I don't think you'll need to remove the image from the list. But make a backup of the disk image (you should do this anyway) and try it. Let us know what happens. You are right; I don't have to remove the image. In fact, I can work off the image disk just as I can the MacOS9 disk. I can treat the i...

Re: installing mac classic applications
… When you're through, either delete the disk image file or go back to SheepShaverGUI.exe and remove the image from the list of disks, or (preferably) both. I just tested this, and it works. It works great. I have an old Ibook version of a program and a particular file up and running. Next to it, I...

Re: installing mac classic applications
"In Windows, go to the MacOS9 folder, then the Programs folder, and run SheepShaverGUI.exe." so far so good "Click Create, and create a 2000 MB disk image" I chose the size and gave it a name. But it seems that I should have made some selection to designate this as a disk image. ...

Re: installing mac classic applications
You will need to reformat the thumb drive with a Mac disk format, like HFS+. Your Windows PC won't be able to use it ... At first I thought this would not work because the Mac formatted disk would not mount on the Windows PC. Then I learned that the running OS 9 environment could see Window C and D...

Re: installing mac classic applications
Create the image on OS 9 and copy it back; there's no extensions issue, as OS 9 doesn't use extensions; it uses the file type and creator, and, if there is none, checks the file header. The problem here is that if you created a modern OS X disk image, the image format may not be recognizeable by OS...

Re: installing mac classic applications
Try this -- it should work. On OS 9, create a 4GB blank disk image with disk copy. Copy that out to your thumb drive. Mount that disk image on your iBook and copy the contents to it. Eject the image, eject the thumb drive, then move it all back over to the OS 9 guest. Because it was created there, ...

Re: installing mac classic applications
Either that, or create a disk image on your iBook, copy all the software into that, and then copy the disk image to the thumb drive. On the SheepShaver side, copy over the disk image, then use Disk Copy to mount the image and copy out the contents. I did a better job with creating a disk image &quo...

Re: installing mac classic applications
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm copying from an old iBook to an ASUS PC running Windows 10, not to a new Mac.

installing mac classic applications
I have MacOS 9 running directly (Sheepshaver) on Windows 10. I tried to add new applications from my old iBook, via a thumb drive, but am having trouble. An example is Eric's Ultimate Solitaire (EUS). OS 9 thinks it's a file, not an application. Perhaps not surprising, as it thinks it is 0k in size....
