SheepShaver Won't Boot - Mandrake Linux 9.2

Post by TMaskine »

Help appreciated ...

Running Mandrake Linux on x86 ...
Sheepshaver compiles OK and settings dialogue screen comes up. However, will not boot. I've tried several OS's including hardfile images that work with BasiliskII under Linux. I do not get windows OS Mac face or a window of any sort. Program makkes a brief attempt at accessing floppy disk and then nothing happens (i.e., no error, no window). Tried flooppy and CD boot disks, tried turning off various features in dialogue box, etc... Tried ROM from my Power PC as well as ROM found in the net. Tried extracting rom from OS8.6 but same is a 1.8MB file and not sure how this could be used with SheepSahver as it looks for 4MB file.

Suggestions .... Thanks, Tony.

Figured out the problem .... Full Screen modes and most windowed modes don't seem to boot. ONly 800x600 windowed mode works ...
