Error -39 when running apps

Post by meador4 »

Hello, I am new to SheepShaver. I just installed it, configured it according to recommended settings, and tried to install some PPC based programs, but many of them, such as Nanosaur and Snood will not run. I get error -39. Any ideas?
Also, my Magic Mouse scrolling doesn't work.

Not sure about Snood, but Nanosaur requires an ATi Rage graphics card to run; SheepShaver (and QEMU right now for that matter) doesn't simulate this card and SheepShaver never will. Sorry.

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense now. It's been so long since I've tinkered with Classic Mac stuff, I forgot about such things as graphics limitations.
