I've compiled from the latest CVS and can't get sound working. Of course that might mean that:
1. It doesn't work :)
2. It doesn't work inside VMWare
3. I'm a Linux moron (although the applet in redhat 9 recognizes the sound card and plays a song).

I'm also struggling with the tap0 setup so if anyone has except instructions on that let me know.

I've never seen sound work, just my personal experience.

As far as tap0, thats a bitch. You have to recompile the kernel with several options then configure some stuff to create a "seperate network" that interfaces thru tap0, which then finally you can use to communicate with sheepshaver.

If you're a geek maybe this is a breeze. If you're an average geek or god-forbid a novice to computing... forget it.

1) For sound, it turns out it works with NewWorld ROMs too. I have not noticed when I had initially tested it but simply select the output device from the sound control panel.

2) For networking on non 32-bit big endian platforms, you have to first remove the #ifdef WORDS_BIGENDIAN in kpx_cpu/sheepshaver_glue.cpp and try again. With a 2.4 series kernel, you can try the sheep_net module if you are over a LAN. If it sometimes crashes or hang, then try with the MOL sheep_net module... If you are alone at home through a DSL connection, use the tun method. At least, this works for me now.
