ROM image from previous installation
Posted: Fri May 11, 2018 4:03 am
Dear helpful sheepshaver community,
I have been running sheepshaver for many old versions of macs, quite happily. Now I got a new Mac PowerBook with OS High Sierra. The migration of the previous sheepshaver did not work, so I downloaded a fresh copy and installed it. The problem is that is "quits upon launch" as indicated if no ROM is recognized (without telling me that this is the exact problem). I simply copied all ROM files from the previous sheepshaver installation, hoping this would work. I also copied the newly downloaded version of the sheepshaver application to the old location and started it there, and had the same problem.
What's wrong, and what do I need to do to fix it? Should it not be a standard problem with a standard solution? (I couldn't find any appropriate advice though on this forum.)
Thanks a lot!
Dierk.
PS.: For copyright reassurance: I have owned Macs continuously since the times of OS 7, so own(ed) legal files and am not trying to circumvent purchasing a legal version of OS9 (but may no longer own the actual CDs of those days).
