Mac OS 9 (SheepShaver) [Latest] [IsolatedSoul5591]

Product Description: SheepShaver is an Open Source PowerPC Mac OS run-time environment. That is, it enables you to run PowerPC Classic Mac OS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of Mac OS and a PowerMacintosh ROM image to use this program. SheepShaver is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Features: SheepShaver runs Mac OS 7.5.2 thru Mac OS 9.0.4 PowerPC G4 emulation on non-PowerPC platforms, direct execution otherwise Basic but portable JIT engine (x86, x86_64, mips) Copy and paste of text between Mac OS and the host OS File exchange with the host OS via a Unix icon on the Mac desktop Color video display with support for run-time resolution switching Run-time depth switching from 1 bpp to current host depth settings Native QuickDraw 2D acceleration for BitBlt and FillRect operations CD-quality stereo sound output Networking: SheepShaver supports Internet and LAN networking via Ethernet and PPP with all Open Transport compatible MacOS applications If you are using a PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speeds (i.e., without any emulation involved). On other systems, SheepShaver provides the first PowerPC G4 emulator, though without MMU, to enable the execution of Mac OS Classic. Performance with the current CPU emulator using basic just-in-time (JIT) translation techniques is roughly 1/8-th of native speeds. The following platforms are currently supported: Linux (i386, ppc, x86_64), MacOS X (i386, ppc), Darwin, NetBSD 2.0, FreeBSD 5.3 and Windows for x86. Please note that I am pretty careless of the Windows version since I am not a Windows developer. You are heartily invited to join the effort!

Thanks man, really cool!
Maybe you only should add in the end of the simplified setup info (step 19) that the OS 9 must be installed to newly created volume. BTW I copied the System Folder from OS9 image at first boot. Works very well for now, but I haven't fully checked it yet. I guess it might be some shorter version. Isn't it?

Sorry, I just noticed the UPDATE to step 18 in your torrent description. Forget the suggestion and question in my first post.

One more note. In the longer version of Setup Manual can be found
For ?Ethernet Interface? enter ?slirp?
but in the shorter version it is "slurp"

To subnet_mask:
Sorry about the typo, it is spelled slirp
:)

Thanks Iso_Soul. "slirp" was my final choice also.
I wish you success with this project!

thanks a lot for this, i deleted my copy awhile back to save space, and have been looking for this again
this worked for me only when i didn't follow one of the last steps to delete os9 from the pref file + it also works without the .iso locked
does anyone know how to install applications onto this, where is the web browser?

Iso_Soul (2010-02-07)

To dropacid:
OS 9 doesn't have a default browser but you may use the program, "Classilla".

Thanks, I love this! Thanks to this, I got OS 9 up and running on my Mac Mini on OS X Snow Leopard or 10.6.6.

The application just closes as soon as I open it. From what I've read this has something to do with the ROM file not being compatible. I was super excited for this. I hope I can get it to work. =(

beth286 (2011-05-15)

Okay, I had to drag the ROM file out of the ROM folder in order to get the app to start-up. It works great now! Thanks so much!
