Hi,

Do you have the SheepShaverGUI?
If you start SheepShaver with the GUI, this problem should not occur.

(at least on my machine it doesn't)

Hi,

I reviewed the post in the link you provided. It does seem to suggest the .net package is to blame. And if it is, I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you.

Maybe someone else can jump in?

Best wishes,

Hi,

This is the address for the basiliskII and SheepShaver development lists:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/basilisk

I can send you my SheepShaver.exe and GUI, maybe it would work?

Best wishes

Hi, please test the following binary:
<http://www.gibix.net/projects/sheepshav ... 0514.1.zip>

I changed the memory layout so that we could now allocate up to 1 GB of memory. The binary is also built with gcc3.4 which somewhat brings some more stability vs. the previous build.

I will update my website when I get the chance to build the MacOS X for Intel binaries...
