I'm having a bit of difficulty setting up a SheepShaver build of OS9 on my computer, and am having some incongruity between what I'm reading in the Setup Instructions found here, and what I'm seeing in my setup at a certain point in the instructions.
I'm at the point in the instructions where it says the following:
The trouble I'm having is that there is no "Mac OS Install" installer on my setup at this point in the process. I believe that this is because I've used the Mac OS9 image from Redundant Robot with the pre-installed system as noted by the Super Moderator Ronald P. Regensburg in this thread.Proceed with the system installation by starting (double-clicking) the installer “Mac OS Install”.
The problem is that I want to use this setup to run old PPC games/apps, and Regensburg says that I won't be able to so using the Redundant Robot disk image because the pre-installed system is recognized as the System Folder.
I was wondering if I could potentially solve this issue by simply copying all the files from the MacOS9 image into the Virtual Disk Image that is created in step 3 of the instructions, then proceeding with the rest of the setup instructions in the "Booting SheepShaver and installing the system" section? Or do I necessarily have to start from scratch with a OS9 image that doesn't have a pre-installed system?
Thanks to anyone who provides help for this request.
Sincerely,
Lightning
