Visual C++ Runtime Library hates SheepShaver. (Windows)

robotintestines · Post by **robotintestines** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 8:08 am

I have successfully been able to get SheepShaver to boot to the desktop from my OS 9.0.4 CD-ROM.

While attempting to install OS 9 to an HFV drive, I get the following Windows error:

SheepShaver quits when the 'OK' button is clicked.

How can I fix/stop this?

I have Visual C++ .NET 2002 installed
I am using Windows XP SP1

I got it yesterday but I don't quite remember how. It was not a segfault as it would have suggested you to send a bug report to MS with a big dump. Ah, it was probably an abort(). e.g. when you suspend the emulator.

Thank you very much for making this, by the way

Here is my prefs file, and some general hardware information, if it helps:

Now that I think about it, don't you have some stdout.txt or stderr.txt file generated with something useful?

PS: I suggest you to set "frameskip" to 0 and enable "jit", that will work better too. "nogui" to false would be good to to get valuable message from ErrorAlert() or WarningAlert().

PPS: Never enable "jit68k" unless you know how to fix it, and that doesn't much matter on non-PowerPC platforms anyway.

Before I try the changes to the prefs file that you have suggested, here is the contents of stdout.txt:

Here is the contents of stderr.txt:

I will try your suggested changes to the prefs file now. Thank you

I made the changes to the prefs file that you suggested, and here are the results:

"jit true" -- This causes the "Startup" portion of the boot process to take a very long time (possibly forever). I walked away for 15 minutes, and when I came back, the status bar was still 1/8 complete. No audible CD or HD activity. I quit SheepShaver via Windows Task Manager.

"nogui false"
"frameskip 0"

I made these changes as well. I then set "jit false", and tried again. The OS 9 CD got to the desktop again, and I tried to install OS 9 to the HFV drive. The same runtime error occured.

EDIT: I am now going to go to sleep (6am here), and I will leave SheepShaver open, with "jit true". This will be a good, many hour test to see if it will start up.

Hmm, it's a real illegal instruction it seems. At some point I though about an unimplement VMX instruction. As for the JIT problem, could you set "ignoresegv" to false so that you can crash immediately instead of looping over and over again.

I also got this error, the content of "stderr.txt" is:

No, you don't get this error. You are very likely trying to boot MacOS < 8.5 with a NewWorld ROM.

I am now going to go to sleep (6am here), and I will leave SheepShaver open, with "jit true". This will be a good, many hour test to see if it will start up.

I left SheepShaver open all night with "jit true". When I awoke, it was still stuck at 1/8 of the "Starting Up" process:

It may be notable that Windows Task manager reports a constant 100% CPU usage while this is going on.

TEST #2:

I have now set "ignoresegv false", and left "jit true", and tried again. It is still stuck at 1/8 of the "Starting Up" process.

Upon quiting via Windows Task Manager, stdout.txt and stderr.txt are both completely empty.

but i'm afraid not.

I'm using "Mac OS ROM" extracted from "Mac_OS_ROM_Update_1.0.smi.bin"(by using tomeview in BasiliskII).

How much ram have you given Sheep?

For os9 I think you need more than the default (which is 16mb).
Since you can get it to boot w/ extentions off that is cause no ext = no mem for ext used.

That rom is a new world rom. So if your trying to boot <8.5 you will run into errors

For the record, I've gotten such an error message myself. I'll post again when it happens again.

does jit work with os 9 becasue when i set it as true it allways gets tuck on start up when that is disabled it works ok

Perhaps you have an extension that generates code that is incompatible with the SheepShaver JITC engine. Try disabling all the extensions and then enabling them one-by-one.

UPDATE:

I have been able to install OS 8.5.1, by getting the installer off of my 8.5 CD in Basilisk II, and transferring it to my dsk file.

I can only boot OS 8.5.1 with 'jit false', and even then SheepShaver quits spontaniously without error messages.

Marc · Post by **Marc** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 4:45 pm

I think the lowest we can boot in Windows is OS 8.6

I have os 8.6 working fine (wow, command and conquer is 100% playable with sound on an AMD XP 3200 running Win2k sp4) and also a brand new os 9.0.4 image working.

I'm using the 1.6 rom (none others work AFAIK until Gb updates the binary from his latest cvs contributions)

However - with both images if I turn JIT ON then I get stalled indefinitely for BOTH os 8.6 and os 9.04.

One final thing the applet viewer from MRJ 2.2 SDK crashes sheepshaver when run on an example java applet

gb - thanks for your work this is sooo cool

opcode 7c800400 is actually a valid instruction mcrxr crf1. I will implement it. Thanks.
