Change the "Unix Root" to /Users/username/sheepshaver/share (or wherever your "sheepshaver" folder is).Press "OK" it will take a few moments to create the drive (the program hasn't frozen). Navigate to your "sheepshaver" folder and name the drive something like "os9hd". Change the size to something usable I would suggest 400-600 MB. Press "Create." in the window that appears. All of the releases for a while have been numbered 2.3, so the only way to tell them apart is the date. I would suggest keeping it seperate from the "sheepshaver" folder created above, and naming the application folder "SheepShaver-May06" (or whatever date the release was). Decompress SheepShaver and put it where you want.(You want the "MacOS X Universal Binary" near the bottom of the page.) ROM, name it "ROM" and place it inside the "sheepshaver" folder. There's an extract option, so select the ROM file and extract it. You can then choos to open a "tome", which will be on the disk imageįor the ROM Update.

Here's the steps (borrowed from the Ambrosia Software Web Board and edited by yours truly): If you don't have the right disk, you will be unable to complete installation.
#Sheepshaver cannot open rom file install
You have the right OS 9 install disk - one that is OS 9.0.4 or earlier and effectively one that did NOT come with another Mac, but was one that was bought

To do so, you'll need a "generic" or "universal" Mac OS 8 or OS 9 install disk (SheepShaver currently supports OS 9.0.4 or earlier), access to an OS 9 machine (or toĪn OS X machine that can run Classic), and about 30 minutes of your time. Wrong-O! You can install SheepShaver, which isĪ MacOS PPC emulator on your Intel machine. To run on OS 9/Classic Mode now that you have an Intel machine.

This was first mentioned by over at kanjitalk755#55, but I figure it needs more eyeballs from those who know anything about NewWorld ROM internals.Since Intel machines don't allow Classic to run anymore, you might think that you can no longer develop Revolution apps What is the nature of the boot process in NewWorld ROM that SS uses? Is there some internal mechanism that normally provides Startup Disk steering between the OF stuff that SS obviously doesn't implement and whatever part of the ROM we're still running in SS, that we could hook into?

While the PRAM setting works in SheepShaver with any 'old world' ROM and in BasiliskII, in SS with NewWorld ROM the setting has no effect - the system still boots from the disk volume. SS puts this setting into XPRAM offset 0x137a, a location that is also updated in the expected way when the startup disk is changed using the Startup Disk control panel. This is what GUIs with an auto/cdrom dropdown use to provide it. In a configuration with both a valid bootable disk image via the disk pref and a bootable cdrom (disc autodetected by platform-specific SysAddCDROMPrefs() or file/device specified using cdrom pref), setting the bootdriver pref to the value of CDROMRefNum (-62) is expected to cause B2 and SS to boot from the cdrom instead of the disk.
