Adobe in Sheepshaver

Post by Bassie »

What makes it difficult to get is why did photoshop 4 work on basilisk in the early days and 6.0 doesn't in sheepshaver. Quark 4.1 and 5.0 do work for me this is really hot, as these two needed ppc and basilisk only is 68k. I wonder why adobe products do not run in sheepshaver, it would be an immense thing if I could run FRAMEMAKER 7.0 in SS because adobe stopped giving any support for this product on mac, so i could use the win version and mac in SS, to create documents with mac-fonts too. But unfortanedly SS just quits launcing Frame.

I do get this error in stderr.txt

Illegal instruction at 2bd7a1d4, opcode = 7c6c180c

anyone, knows a way to get around this ?

Thanks for reporting. That opcode is an AltiVec one:
00000000 lvsl v3,r12,r3

And I indeed forgot to implement lvsl/lvsr. It's going to be fixed. Have you noticed this problem with other Adobe products? Especially free ones like Acrobat Reader?

Well, I am only a beginner in programming, but the stderr.txt gives the same error for me too..
