Classic OS Reading CD-Rom Problem
Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 2:44 am
So hello, first time poster here.
I was rummaging through my old Mac games (I grew up on a Mac OS9 system) and I found some that I am DYING to play again. Right now I use a Windows 7 64 bit self built gaming machine. Without much research, i downloaded VM Virtualbox and installed Snow Leopard, hoping to play my old games. Much to my delight, it read my disks without any problems, and let me see all of the files, however I get a message about Classic Mode not being able to open. After further research, I see that Apple stopped supporting Classic mode in 9.0.4.
So, I turned to Sheepshaver to run OS9. I got that all working (sorta, see below), however I can't get it to read any of the CD's.
I say I sorta got it working because I can launch it, but nothing comes up to initialize a new HD. So the only HD is the ISO file for 9.0.4, so obviously I can't install it on itself.
Any solutions from anyone? I really appreciate it and can't wait to solve this conundrum so I can play my childhood over again!
