Hi,
I installed a german Mac OS 9.0.4 on SheepShaver (MacOS X) but I have always a english keyboard layout.
In MacOS 9 setup is german keyboard layout.
I think, I must setup SheepShaver to german keyboard layout, but I don't know, how can I make it?
greetings,
Bernd

1. You must use a keycodes file. The file should have been in the most recent (may 2006) SheepShaver download, but it is not.
You can use the one that is in the BasiliskII download, linked from this page. Place the file "BasiliskII_keycodes" anywhere it is convenient, for instance in your SheepShaver folder. In SheepShaverGUI, Keyboard/Mouse tab, check "Use Raw Keycodes" and enter the path to the keycodes file (or use the 'Browse' button to do that). SheepShaver will now properly use any keyboard lay-out.
2. In MacOS in SheepShaver you can choose the layout that matches your actual (hardware) keyboard in "Keyboard" or "Keyboard and Mouse" control panel (I do not know the name in a German system). Check the box next to the flag that corresponds with your keyboard. If you use a keyboard with American English lay-out, check the 'American' box. A new menu (with flag icon) will appear in the menu bar with the checked lay-outs from which you can select the desired one.

Thanx, work's fine now
Btw: I have a second question:
On SheepShaver start, SheepShaver crash and in the crash log is following:
--- cut ---

But the strange is: SheepShaver does't end after the crash!
I can use SheepShaver normal.
Why this?
