SheepShaver refuses to run if an .iso file is selected.

[tgp1994]

Hi there, I'm running the January 2010 version of SheepShaver. I'm attempting to boot from an OS 9.0.4 installation image file, and for some reason the SheepShaver.exe file decides to close right away. If I remove that image file, and, say, use a DiskTools.img (notice the .img extension) file, SheepShaver loads ok.

I hope this bug can be fixed soon.

P.S. Could you make some sort of notification telling us if a requested file could not be loaded? It kind of makes figuring out why certain things won't load difficult, until we realise that there's a typo...

Error messages for the GUI are, indeed, a very needed feature. It is especially frustrating for errors in the path to the file, which result in the program just stopping, like you described. Maybe someday in the future they will be added!

[tgp1994]

I hope so :S This is still under development, correct?

There is no regular development going on for either BasiliskII or SheepShaver since 2006. Individual developers contribute occasionally to the source code with bug fixes or improvements and from time to time members of these forums post new builds here from the changed source.

[tgp1994]

I am kind of curious as to what bug fixes there are since the Jan. 2010 release, is there a place I can find that out?

Hi,

yes, there is a developers mailing list you can look at/subscribe to at:

look:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/foru ... lisk-devel
subscribe:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/lis ... lisk-devel

Best,

But that's for Basilisk I'm looking for SheepShaver.

SheepShaver shares the mailing list with Basilisk, if you look through it there are few messages having SheepShaver in subject.

[Ronald P. Regensburg]

The same developers list for SheepShaver. BasiliskII and SheepShaver share much of the source code. Development of SheepShaver is closely related to development of BasiliskII. Some changes to SheepShaver are actually made in the BasiliskII source and the source of BasiliskII is needed together with specific SheepShaver source to build the SheepShaver application.

[tgp1994]

Hmm... seems to me that that closeness, yet not to so closeness could lead to problems later on, if not already. But thank you none the less.

I don't know much about programming, but I think it would be interesting to experiment with it. I just need to figure out how to check out the sources in TSVN :S (If anyone knows how to do that, your help is greatly appreciated )

[Ronald P. Regensburg]

I doubt that you can do much with the source code if you do not know much about programming. You can download the source from CVS using these commands:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cebix.net:/home/cvs/cebix login

(password: "anoncvs")

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cebix.net:/home/cvs/cebix checkout BasiliskII

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cebix.net:/home/cvs/cebix checkout SheepShaver

[tgp1994]

Well, unfortunately TourtiseSVN doesn't quite work like that. What link can I have it check out to?

[Ronald P. Regensburg]

Web access to the source: http://www.cebix.net/viewcvs/cebix/

[tgp1994]

Any idea why I would get this error?

Repository moved temporarily to '/viewcvs/cebix/SheepShaver/src/'; please relocate

I was attempting to check it out like this, by the way:

Checkout from http://www.cebix.net/viewcvs/cebix/SheepShaver/src, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included

Hi,
Subversion is not the same as Concurrent Version System. Please check your manual for instructions about how to use it in relation to CVS-based code repositories.

Best,

Nevermind, I got it working. Thanks

Although... I think I may want to start with some simpler stuff.
