Requests for SheepShaver's 20th Anniversary
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2018 6:49 pm
Since SheepShaver has reached its 20th birthday, I have some requests to help improve and further expand SS:
a. Support for Mac OS 9.1/9.2.x (I don't want them to feel left out....)
b. An iOS/Android port (because since Basilisk II and Mini vMac already have mobile ports, we just need a mobile version of SS in order to complete the trifecta)
c. 3D graphics support (for games like Toy Story 2)
d. I'm getting kinda sick of SS only supporting Power Mac ROMs as it makes it quite difficult to install most games, so how about the addition of iMac (specifically G3/DV) ROM support (if there are any, that is)?
e. Bug fixes (of course), and lots of 'em, such as the desktop crash I wrote about in a separate post.
f. If the "?" disk screen appears, it should close SS after 30 seconds, as this has caused a problem in fullscreen. I tried running SS like this in Windows 2000 (it was in VirtualBox since I don't have a computer that's capable of running Win2K), but said screen appeared and since I can't close SS from fullscreen and the disk just stayed there, I had to hard reset the VM to close SS (Edit: The "?" screen showed because I didn't have cdenable.sys or whatever the heck it's called).
g. On that little topic alone, how about adding a fullscreen window bar to fullscreen mode? (ya know, like most browsers and apps have in fullscreen mode)
