- Which system did you use to boot from to do the installation? Was it also 7.5.3? The used ROM file may allow booting from that system but not from 7.5.3/7.5.5. - The installer will install system files that are intended for a different machine. The installed system may work only partially or not a...

This is in SheepShaver MacOSX with 9.0.4 and QuickTime 4.1.2: With QuickDraw 1.6 installed, the 3D images in Scrapbook are not displayed. I replaced QD 1.6 by QD 1.5.4 from a MacOS 8.6 installation. The 3D images in Scrapbook are displayed correctly. I noticed that QD 1.5.4 has an extension "Qu...

On my 9.0.4 with QuickTime 4.1.2, QuickDraw 3D 1.6 (six extensions) is present. I never installed it separately, so it must have come with 9.0 or with the 9.0.4 update or with the QuickTime 4.1.2 update. Note that one cannot simply downgrade either QuickTime or Quickdraw, because some extensions exi...

For some reason using that version of basilisk constantly crashes before it boots up. I suggested to use the BasiliskIIGUI in that download, not BasiliskII itself. Yet, while the option to change color display is not on the GUI, it still isn't available within the running emulator. This is most per...

Maybe you should delete the prefs file and start again using the newer BasiliskIIGUI that is included in the BasiliskII download from this page:

You should not make any changes to group or permissions, you are are in group staff and that is how it should be in Leopard. The "solution" mentioned at the beginning of this thread is only possibly valid after migrating from Tiger or Panther which will result in 'user name' being in group...

You do not tell which is your host system. In BasiliskII for MacOSX, low values for screen settings in the GUI will limit your choices within the emulated machine. The higher the settings in the GUI, the more choices you will have in the control panel (or its corresponding control strip). I do not k...

It is not a good idea to post email addresses in forum messages. Those can be read by bots that collect addresses for spamming. The safest way is to send an email message from the user's profile page. The receiver of that email will then see the sender's email address and start a normal email exchan...

Apart from the now working fullscreen option, there may be a slight improvement of sound performance (less delay and stutter) on slow machines compared with the July 21 2008 build. Otherwise, functionality of this 090319 build is identical to the functionality of the July 21 2008 "H" build.

I always thought that older Mac stuffit formats had a resource fork and that was the reason why those files needed to be encoded before transferring them along other platforms. But I cannot find sit files with resource forks, anyway not among sit files from mid 90s. So possibly the need to encode th...

Older stuffit file formats have (and need) both data fork and resource fork, they cannot survive outside a HFS file system. Did you make sure the files were copied directly from a HFS volume to your HFV hardfile?

Any special reason why you want to use the Appearance Manager (from 8.0 and later) in 7.5.5? Is it the platinum looks or a specific feature like for instance the sticky menus?

First of all: When you did not migrate from an earlier version of MacOSX you do not need and should not use this correction of a permissions issue with 10.5.x that exists only after migrating from Tiger or Panther!!! Secondly: You did not correctly type the command (omitted spaces), but you should ...

MIDI is indeed played through QuickTime. I dug up some old midi file that played and play fine in System 7.5.3 through MacOSX 10.5.6 on real hardware Macs. When I try to play them in SheepShaver for MacOSX, SheepShaver will crash consistently. SheepShaver with MacOS 9.0.4 and QT 4.1.2 (the latest ve...

The G3 ROM file will not work with SheepShaver for MacOSX. When you search the rendundantrobot website, as Cat_7 suggests, you will find two links to ROM files that will work: Old World 4mb ROM that will allow running System 7.5.3 through Mac OS 9.0.4 New World PPC ROM that will allow running Mac OS...

1. Could you launch SheepShaver before and now not anymore or is this the first time you try to launch SheepShaver? 2. Which Mac OS X version are you running on your Mac mini. 3. Which build of SheepShaver are you using. With "build" I mean the build date, not just the 2.3 version number. ...

Hm, these look like the names of different PPC processors rather then model IDs. SheepShaver emulates a Power Macintosh 9500, Machine ID 67. Maybe you should (also?) look for "67" somewhere in the source? A Power Macintosh 9500 had a PowerPC 604 processor, but so had the Power Macintosh 85...

You are not doing anything wrong. This error is a known issue that affects a minority of Leopard users only. The cause is still a mystery. For some the problem was solved by (re-)installing the latest 10.5.x Combo-updater. I see that you already found this thread: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/vi...

Ron, I think I know why sheepshaver don't start up. I put Mac OS ROM and it's didn't work. but I put Mac OS ROM.rom and it's work. So the problem was that you did not change the file name "newworld86.rom" to "Mac OS ROM" but changed it to "Mac OS ROM.rom". Maybe the ex...

I start it up with Mac OS 9 cd. Does this mean that you were indeed able to launch SheepShaver then, actually starting up from the CD and having the MacOS9 desktop in the SheepShaver window? According to the Console it said "4/12/09 8:30:36 PM [0x0-0x20020].SheepShaver[373] ERROR: Cannot open ...

Open Console (in /Applications/Utilities/) and next start SheepShaver. Are any error messages regarding SheepShaver written to Console log?

Yes I did. As I told ya I try to start up sheepshaver and it never happen. It didn't start up. You did try, but did you ever succeed or not. The earliest posts in this thread seem to suggest that you did succeed in launching SheepShaver at first. So did you or didn't you succeed in launching SheepS...

Looks OK to me.

If you start SheepShaver now, it should launch and display the floppy icon with question mark. (After which you can only quit it using Control-Escape.)

If SheepShaver does not launch: Have you ever been able to launch SheepShaver?

I am a little confused. If you cannot launch SheepShaver after deleting the prefs file and with the "Mac OS ROM" in place in the same folder with the SheepShaver application, you cannot follow the steps in the manual. Yet you write that you followed the steps in the manual. Please post her...
