Reading this forum seems to confirm that SheepShaver is compatible with OS X Ventura. Am I correct ?

Yup. I'm running it on Ventura with zero issues.

Download the current version if you don't already have it. Works perfectly on M1 Macs.

And have you tried running it on your startup partition, not an external drive?

It the last one ...

Tried to run in from boot volume too !

Just starts and quits immediately

deleting .sheepshaver_prefs & .sheepshaver_nvram does not do anything ...

maybe should download the source and run it in Xcode to see why it breaks !

The latest SheepShaver build should run fine natively in Ventura on Apple Silicon. It does so here and for other users. I did not yet try to run it on my M1 iMac from an external volume.

A couple of things to note:

- A security feature in macOS will prevent the app to run in the location to where it is downloaded or where the zip archive is expanded. Download the zip archive in a different location (like your Downloads folder), expand the archive there, and then move the app into your SheepShaver folder.

- A new SheepShaver setup will not run without a compatible ROM file with the exact name "Mac OS ROM" (without a file name extension!) in the same folder as the SheepShaver app itself. If set up following our setup manual, that will be in the SheepShaver folder.

Our setup manual is here: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sh ... os_x_setup

Hi Thanx

Got it to work, changed memory to 768 mb then it booted, and changed back to 1024 and it worked !

Im a happy SheepShaver user since many years, running framemaker since adobe never made an osx version.

Here's a weird thing that's happening to me on Ventura. For some reason the settings pane are inaccessible in Ventura:

Same thing here.

In Ventura "Preferences..." is replaced By "Settings..." in all applications. In SheepShaver the Preferences item is not really referring to preferences but to a different part of the app with the settings GUI, so it does not work anymore. I suppose kanjitalk755 can solve it in the SheepShaver source.

I posted an issue on GitHub. If anyone wants to change their own build, you can fix this in the source by changing the strings in prefs_macosx lines 116 and 127 to `"@Settings..."` but I don't know how to create an `if ... then` statement that would make this work only in Ventura and later.

I don't know anything about programming, but by searching the web, I was able to put together some replacement code that fixes the problem; tested on Monterey and Ventura. I don't know if the code is accurate, but you can find it here and experiment until kanjitalk755 provides something better:

kanjitalk755 has now made a much better fix than mine.

I've updated all my apps that use SheepShaver (the SheepShaver Wrapper, the WPMacApp, and Mac OS 9 for macOS/OSX).

This should not happen with the latest SheepShaver build. Here it works fine in Ventura with "Settings" available in the SheepShaver menu. Could you have more than one SheepShaver app on your machine and accidentally launched an older build?

Boy, I am just not having any luck launching SheepShaver in Ventura. I have: deleted prefs and nvram, tried several different ROM files (named correctly, sans file extensions), tried removing the keycodes file, tried re-downloading, tried multiple different builds, tried removing the startup drive image, tried copying SheepShaver to and launching from my system drive (as opposed to a different storage drive); nothing seems to be working. It begins to launch, but then immediately quits. I don't even get a chance to try and reconfigure it in settings.

For what it's worth, Basilisk is also not launching.

If it matters, I am running Ventura 13.5 on an iMac 2010 using OCLP. SheepShaver (and Basilisk) work just fine in Monterey using this configuration. Mini vMac/Mini vMac II have no issues in either OS.

This is one of many OCLP problems in mcOS Ventura. The only people who can help will be the OCLP developers.

Ah, then it's a known issue it sounds like. That's unfortunate. Well, I'm glad I mentioned it then, rather than going on a wild goose chase.

Hi, I'm with a MacBook Air M1, and I launch the binary (not the .app), with a floppy boot on disk util, but "Settings is greyed out and disabled."
macOS Ventura 13.2.1.
