SheepShaver under Fedora Core 1 under VPC...
Hello everybody,
I am running Windows XP Pro and I have installed Fedora Core 1 under Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 successfuly. It runs like a charm actually but that's not my point anyway...
I have installed SheepShaver 2.2 using an RPM I downloaded and it installed fine too. I extracted the PPC ROM from MacOnLinux and placed it where it should be so here goes:
When I press the Start button in SheepShaver it says "Reading ROM File..." and then it quits doing nothing at all... Why?
I only have a Mac OS 8.0 CD to boot from so I tried this but I don't think that's the problem, it doesn't even show anything!
I read through the posts here and found similar problems but the solutions didn't work for me. Can anybody please tell me what I have to do to get this thing running? BasiliskII runs fine under this emulated Linux system by the way... I have disabled all resolutions except for Window 640x480 and 800x600 but nothing... Always quits without any reaction... Played around with the Refresh rates... nothing...
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Best wishes,
MiLToS_666

try
try disabling sound, and the cd driver, and only leave 800x600 windowed as a resolution.
also start sheepshaver from a terminal to see if it quits on anything specific.
i had the same problems, and it seemed to be the sound.

Thanks for the replies mates,
I have tried to disable sound and get the same behaviour! I also left only 800x600 checked...
I'm always starting SheepShaver from the terminal and it quits without any error messages, it just quits!
Well, I've read about Fedora Core 1 incompatibilities so I will install Mandrake 9.2 for real and not under VPC, I've done it before but I liked Fedora's desktop appearance better!
Thanks again, I'll post my results!

OK I installed Mandrake 9.2 for real and not under VPC.
Installed RPM package of SheepShaver, copied the extracted ROM file in place but I get the same dialog box described here:

It's about wrong ROM filesize!
What can I do now? Damn it!

Did you do it just as such:

That really ought to work..

Okay I did the rom extraction again using BasiliskII and Mac OS 8.1. Then I copied the rom file in windows using HFV Explorer but I told the program to copy it as raw data and not to automaticaly decide like it did previously!
I named the rom file "ROM" (no extention) as it is stated in the SheepShaver guide but I don't think that matters anyway!
So, I fired up Linux, loaded SheepShaver set the options and then pressed the start button!
Magically, a grey window appeared! A couple of seconds later the CD started spinning up (Mac OS 8.0 original CD) and the "Welcome to Mac OS" screen appeared! I almost pissed on my pants!
But then... nothing... just seemed to have frozen or sth!
I tried again, same things happened!
Hmmm... I'm dissapointed...

rom file name
Hello you two,
It doesn't matter how you call the rom file, as long as you enter the correct name (and path) in the settings window. It only needs the exact mentioned name (ROM) and place if you enter nothing in the settings window.
Waiting for SheepShaver to create the pram file etc. seems like the best way to go here.

Hey Stephen, thanks for letting the universe know about it!!!Stephen Coates wrote:i prosume you won't be needing the rom you PMd me about then?
Okay, I solved the rom problem... found a real 4096K one and gave this to SheepShaver. Mac OS 8.0 cd booted instantly without problems and also installed fine though very slowly! But the emulation crashed as soon as I rebooted and it reached the desktop. Guess it's some kind of extention bugging it! But I'm happy that it ran fine at last!
Now I need to get a Mac OS 8.5 or 8.6 CD from ebay... They're not as cheap as 8.0 and 8.1... I remember buying 8.0 cd for 15 euros!

I had the same problem, but when I used a 4096KB ROM, it worked. However, it crashes with the JIT compiler turned on (works without it) - any ideas why?
