Sheepshaver under Windows 7 64 Bit

Post by Tafit72 »

Hi,

My problem is, i can´t start sheepshaver on my windows 7 64Bit - system.

My stepps:
1. create a folder
2. put sheepshaver in folder
3. put the sdl.dll (1.2) in the same folder
4. put Mac-rom in the folder (rename the file in Mac OS ROM.rom)
5. install gtk +2 runtime
6. start sheepshaver

Now when i start sheepshaver they don´t works.
The massage is "bad rom"
The rom´s what i use are ok.
I use the same rom´s in emulator shapeshifter for Amiga.

Sorry for my bad english.

Hi,

You should call the rom Mac OS ROM (without the .rom extension).
I don't know whether the roms that work in shapeshifter will also work with SheepShaver. But I do know that you can download a working rom from the redundant robot site. Search for it.

Does SheepShaverGUI.exe work? If it does you can use that to set the preferences.

Best,

I need the SheepShaverGUI.exe ?
I must this exe file also put in the same folder?

The ROM´s are original ROM´s from Mac´s and works on shapeshifter.
They must also work on sheepshaver.
The .rom extension makes windows.

I think my problem is the GUI.exe.
I heavent it.

Is that right?

If you followed the guide, then you have the same sheepshavergui.exe as everyone else.

You might be missing the Visual C++ redistributable package. (This wouldn't be mentioned in the guide as systems often have it installed for some other reason.)

Do you still have the .rom extension for the Mac OS ROM file? If so, remove that extension!

Hi Ronald.
The extension of ROM File is removed.

You are from Regensburg? Than you can German.
My Problems in German:

Ich habe den neuen Sheepshaver vers.(01-03-2015) runtergeladen, da es für Windows 64Bit gedacht ist.
Habe es entpackt und nur die Sheepshaver.exe datei war vorhanden.
Die Schritte:
Im neuen Ordner die besagte Sheepshaver.exe Datei kopiert, die sdl.dll (1.2) Datei hinzugefügt eine geprüfte funktionierende ROM Datei hineinkopiert und umbenennt auf Mac OS ROM
Die gtk +2 runtime installiert.

Dann habe ich erfahren das ich mit der sheepshaver.gui die Einstellungen treffen kann die ich brauche um sheepshaver richtig in gang zu setzen.
Eine GUI-Datei habe ich gefunden und reinkopiert.
Ich habe dann die Einstellungen getroffen die notwendig sind wie laut der Beschreibung um den Mac-Emulator zum laufen zu bringen.

Nach den Einstellungen starte ich sheepshaver.
Nur leider kommt dann die Fehlermeldung:
Die Anwendung konnte nicht korrekt gestartet werden (0x000007b).

Ich schätze, daß das Softwarepacket was ich habe nicht mit der 64BIT Architektur zusammen passt.
Oder es fehlt mir noch was.

Ordnerinhalt:
Sheepshaver.exe
Sheepshaver.gui
SDL.dll
SheepShaver_prefs
Mac OS ROM

Leider ist mein englisch grottenschlecht.
Sonst hätte ich mich schon besser ausdrücken können.

Die Hilfe vom englischen Moderator Cat_7 war leider nicht für mich brauchbar.
Vielleicht kannst ...du...Sie mir helfen.

Danke im Voraus schon mal.

Mein Name ist zwar Regensburg, aber ich bin Holländer und mein English ist besser als mein Deutsch.

Better continue in English, because that way you have a better chance of finding someone here who knows a solution to your problem. I myself know more about OSX hosts. Cat_7 knows more about Windows hosts, but he now is away for a vacation. There are more users here who know more about Windows, though.

From your description it is not clear whether you downloaded the recommended additional files from here:
http://www.open.ou.nl/hsp/downloads/She ... 5_2010.zip

Please show us the content of the SheepShaver_prefs file. You can open it with Notepad, then select the content and copy/paste that in your reply.

No, that is for Windows. You are on a Mac.
