Softc on sheepshaver3/30/2023 ![]() TOSEC catalogs over 200 unique computing platforms and continues to grow. The main goal of the project is to catalog and audit various kinds of software and firmware images for these systems. The Old School Emulation Center (TOSEC) is a retrocomputing initiative dedicated to the cataloging and preservation of software, firmware and resources for microcomputers, minicomputers and video game consoles. The collection includes a broad range of software related materials including shareware, freeware, video news releases about software titles, speed runs of actual software game play, previews and promos for software games, high-score and skill replays of various game genres, and the art of filmmaking with real-time computer game engines. I don't think this is a big deal, if i understand it correctly i just need to find a different disk image.DESCRIPTION The Internet Archive Software Collection is the largest vintage and historical software library in the world, providing instant access to millions of programs, CD-ROM images, documentation and multimedia. ![]() I was able to find a OS9 disk image from macintosh garden that was labeled as "sheepshaver compatible" the actual file is named "Mac OS 9 retail.toast" I added it to the volumes, and when i open sheepshaver, it now opens with a OS 9 logo (Progress!), however i am stopped by the following pop-up "The system software on the start-up disk only functions on the original media not if copied to another drive" I am assuming that this means that the disk image i downloaded is from the CD that originally came with a computer so, as explained in the instructions, it can't be used except on the computer it came with. Thanks so much for the walkthrough! I think i am almost there. ![]() The procedure is similar to the procedure for setting up system 7.5.3 with BasiliskII for Mac OSX. Installing System 7.5.3 using the 19 part image that can be downloaded from Apple is a little more complicated. The SheepShaver for MacOSX setup guide has instructions for using a CD image instead of an actual CD in italics. Make sure you choose the one that is explicitly advertised as being compatible with SheepShaver. You can, for instance, find a SheepShaver compatible MacOS 9.0.4 install CD image on the Macintosh Garden site under Operating Systems. Though distribution of system disk images is illegal, you can quite easily find such images on the internet. You can use a system install CD, but that must, of course, be one that installs an old system that is compatible with SheepShaver and with the ROM file that you use with SheepShaver. You must install the system in the emulated machine yourself. A new world ROM file is preferable when using MacOS 8.5 through 9.0.4. ![]() SheepShaver emulates a PPC Mac that can run System 7.5.3 through MacOS 9.0.4 with an old world ROM file and MacOS 8.5 through 9.0.4 when you use a new world ROM file. * See the setup guide about MacOS version and ROM file compatibility. Is it a general retail CD? Is it a compatible* MacOS version? Did you insert the CD and have it it mount in MacOSX before you launched SheepShaver?Īre you sure it is an image created from a compatible* system install CD? Where did you get it? Have you added (the path to) the image file to the volumes list in SheepShaver preferences? Did you lock the file in Finder Info? (Note that, unlike a real CD, a CD image should not be mounted in MacOSX.)įor both: Is the MacOS version on install CD or install CD image compatible* with the ROM file you use? Install CD or install CD image are not included and must be provided by yourself.ĭo you use a real system install CD or a CD disk image? If you use a real CD, ignore the instructions in italics that refer to using a CD disk image only. Apparently SheepShaver cannot find a bootable startup disk, which, at this stage, should be either a system install CD or a install CD image.
