Strange. Apart from the way the cursor is computed and drawn, there should not be any difference between the two builds. Try playing with different settings for SheepShaver, like with or without JIT compiler enabled, or with or without QuickDraw acceleration enabled. (Note that changed settings do n...

It should work. Of course you need to stop and relaunch BasiliskII after changing settings, because BasiliskII reads the configuration file only when launched. Have you tried connecting with a web browser in MacOS 7.6 to activate Open Transport? Only then will IP address etc. be asked from the DHCP ...

Which build of SheepShaver do you use? I use an application (TeleFinder) that could not make internet connections in the May 2006 snapshot by Gwenole Beauchesne, but that works fine in my latest July 2008 build (see sticky topic in this forum). (Note that the version number does not identify the bui...

In BasiliskII settings set Ethernet Interface to "slirp".

In MacOS 7.6 TCP/IP control panel set connection through Ethernet and DHCP server.

Have you considered moving to GamesGrid for playing backgammon?

By default dmg images are in HFS+ format which can only be mounted in MacOS 8.1 and later. If you run 8.1 in BasiliskII, the images can probably be mounted by adding them to the volumes list. If you run an earlier system version, you can only use disk images that are HFS formatted. It is possible to...

The only way to have access from within SheepShaver to a folder on the OSX side is to make that folder the shared folder or a subfolder in the shared folder. You could place the folder itself inside the shared folder and create an alias where you want to access the folder in the OSX Finder. Best use...

My post # 1000

@ henber This is weird. Did the message not appear with the older SheepShaver version? If you only replaced the SheepShaver application and continued with the same disk image(s) and the same ROM, the system should not behave differently. But sheepshaver says that it cannot find the ColorpickerLib......

Do you use an older build of SheepShaver, like the May 2006 snapshot by Gwenole Beauchesne? Those older builds have many problems with the shared folder, like files becoming invisible, files loosing icons and more. In the latest july 21 2008 build, those problems are solved and the shared folder ('U...

Better do not try a memory setting higher than 512 MB. SheepShaver will not launch and if you use the latest build with built-in preferences editor, you will then need the stand-alone Prefs Editor to access the settings. SheepShaver for MacOSX should run fine with memory settings of 512 MB and below...

I'm assuming it's a problem with the game, not SheepShaver. Although the game mentions it works on 9.0, and specifically says it won't work on 9.1, is it possible that it also doesn't work on 9.0.4? If an application runs in 9.0 on a real hardware Mac, that does not imply that it will run also in 9...

Updating the hard disk drivers does not take hours, it usually does not even take seconds. It seems there is a problem with the volume (the disk image) used to install the system onto.

How did you create that disk image?

These errors affect a minority of Leopard users and are still not understood. So far, applying the latest Combo updater has been the solution for most, though not all, cases of the "File Exists" variant. These errors affect a minority of Leopard users and are still not understood.

It would help if you tell us more about your setup and about what you try to do. - You are using BasiliskII on which host system (Windows, MacOSX, Linux), which version and on what kind of machine? - Which MacOS/System version do you run in BasiliskII? - What is it you want to "update" and...

This may be a dumb question but how do you add programs to Basilisk II. I am trying to add a game and not sure where to put the folder so that it appears on the Basilisk desktop. Well, a folder will appear on the desktop if you place it on the desktop. Exactly how are you trying to add the program?...

1. Sound lost For some reason my sound capabilities disappeared. My sound panel became infunctional (did not properly open) as well as the control strip. I installed a new sound panel and sound conrol strip. However no sound even though the sound panel opens properly. Sound input information: "...

SheepShaver cannot mount music CDs, only CD-ROMs. This CD did mount in SheepShaver before? For a CD-ROM to mount in SheepShaver for MacOSX, the CD must be mounted in MacOSX before SheepShaver is launched. If you set in System Preferences pane "CDs & DVDs" to ignore insertion of a music...

This "Cannot map RAM: File exists" error is a stubborn one and still not understood. It happens only on Leopard, mostly (or only?) on new machines that come with Leopard installed, but it does not happen on all new machines with Leopard. It may not even happen on most (new) machines with L...

Depends on whether operating system, file system and the software involved (SheepShaver) each can handle files that size. Apparently no problem in your configuration.

At present, no programmer is working on SheepShaver, Gwenole Beauchesne has suspended further development of SheepShavers, so no changes are to be expected soon (or ever). BTW: I don't think you told us which application is causing problems. You refer to it as "WISYWIG" ("WYSIWYG"...

If you do not notice any difference in (graphics) performance, you might as well keep it disabled.

For those who are interested, I think I've traced the problem to a shutdown routine where the WISYWIG App tries to update files used by an "online" updater/helper plug-in routine, pieces of which are located within the "Application Support" folder of my System Folder. I pulled o...

RE Unix Shared Folders: Under SS2006 haven't had a problem for over 6 months. Suddenly when I emulate under SS2008 and revert to SS2006 these folders disappear. Strange. I've tried deleting SS prefs, Zapping PRAM, fixing OSX file permissions, etc. Still testing. Unexpectedly disappearing files and ...

Could you try how the July 2008 builds behave when run with the JIT Compiler disabled?
