Re: Mini vMac and CD Games
Can you try https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/virtual-dvd-romcd-utility to mount the game .toast/.iso? To do so, you need a fairly large MiniVMac Macintosh volume for hosting the .toast, of course. The .toast file is here, just in case: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/super-wing-commander According...

Re: Program in MacOS 9.0.4 in SheepShaver doesn't open
There must be a bootable MacOS 9.2 image for Qemu, I did upload some time ago. Found it: https://www.magentacloud.de/lnk/zq4MpCru Hope that helps. Qemu PPC configuration is not very Macintosh like, I´ll post my Windows batch file. What puzzles me, is that SheepShaver is just doing nothing on your si...

Re: Program in MacOS 9.0.4 in SheepShaver doesn't open
I see. That SheepShaver build is useless for you anyway on Windows. I did not try the game with SheepShaver / Windows, but I´ll have a look. Qemu PPC / OSX 9.2 seems to run the game too, but the mouse is misbehaving on my side. The game is loading the sample file with SheepShaver / Windows 10 just t...

I don´t know about the Japanese version, but Yoot Tower.toast from Macintoshgarden is running on my side with SheepShaver 2.5 for macOS Catalina. Host is i5-2540m , macOS Mojave. Guest is MacOS 8.6. The game was expanded from .toast to 2GB HFS+ disk image within SheepShaver. Actually, I only opened ...

Re: Run Mac OS 7 or 8 in BasiliskII directly in the WEB BROW
Dont want to debase the work of the makers of the Java Script Basilisk II build. I just feel that the .js based emulator has very limited options and it is slow. As posted over at Macintoshgarden, you may easily see the difference on an old Windows rig: https://macintoshgarden.org/forum/in-the-news-...

Re: Can't get around to start with Basilisk
If you are not familiar with creating (large) disk images, you may grab one here:
https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/disk-images-emulators
Best use something small like the 3GB image to keep things simple.

Exactly. You may use the System 6.img (or the MacOS7.5.3.dsk) as you wish. __MACOSX is a left over of the default OSX/maOS Zip app, which should be deleted. The file is invisible with OSX btw. Sorry for using a proprietary zip app, better solutions are available, just not that convenient. You may al...

If Basilisk II B142 does not mount the floppy (Ctrl-Sift-F11), I would ask for help at Macintoshgarden. There are users in Sweden, Germany, Australia etc. some ...

Re: QEMU Mouse Not Responding
Rosetta was part of OSX up to 10.6 Snow Leopard. I did try with 10.5 as I have a running instance anyway. To install 10.5 or 10.6 on a modern Mac, you want a virtualisation engine like VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion. To install OSX, the Server version is needed. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-...

The MiniVMac II apps from Macintoshgarden are outdated 32bit apps for reference. There is no support for the builds, they are an example for the old build helper output, which was available on Paul C. Pratt´s pages before he switched to MiniVMac 3.6.

Re: Mini vMac - App bombs immediately with illegal instructi
I would not know where to start either with Strata. No manual, no models... 32bit Quickdraw was needed for the early colour capable Macs, like the Mac II. I think it was on a separate floppy for installation. If you want to stick with System 6, feel free to look here: https://macintoshgarden.org/app...

Yes. No dice with MacOS 7.5.3 and SheepSaver.
BlankLadder3 can be opened via 3DMF Viewer after installing QT3D, but that was not the question.
Looks like QemuPPC is the only way to run the app. The pict above is from MacOS 9.2.

Re: Help me choose the best emulator
Don´t worry, your question is not that easy to answer. Even worse, all adapter gadgets for the PowerMac 7100/80 became rare and expensive meanwhile. I was using these kind of adapters back in the days: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Dayna-EasyNet-TRX-Transceiver-AAUI-BNC-UTP-Port-Apple-Talk-Adapter/3035284...
