![]() ![]() Use VirtualBox and then you'll know how virtualization environments should behave. There's no reason whatsoever to put up with the hassle and reliability issues of SheepShaver. Today, even late model 603s and 604s can be had for like $5 or $10. There's no reason anyone should feel compelled to make excuses for crappy software, which is exactly what SheepShaver is. The day your vintage Mac fails, may be any day.Įxcuse my frankness, but I'm confident enough in my experience with SheepShaver to boldly say I don't believe you. I am using boot volumes for 7.6, 8.6 and 9.0 occasionally, because not all programs will work with each emulated MacOS :-(.ĭarwin 10.8 is the fastest host system kernel I have seen so far, GNU-Linux probably the most compatible host, Windows7-64 possibly the hardest to set up.Īnyway, it might be a good idea to backup your Macintosh files as un-compressed DiskCopy6 images and move it to a computer hosting SheepShaver, BasiliskII and MiniVMac. (BTW, Office98 WILL work on GNU-Linux, OS7.6.)Ī lot of apps are working nicely though, emulators are free and won´t clutter your desk.ĭeciding for 7.6 or 8.1 is a matter of taste, I think. Some software on certain hosts will indeed not work at all, e.g. Of course, SS is not perfect and not fully emulating a real PPC604 Mac. ![]() It doesn't matter which you choose, because either way SheepShaver will only provide you with frustration and tears. P.S: The whole speed thing is redundant to me, considering i'm emulating the fastest pre-G3 processor, and with more than 1 GB of ram. ![]() I'm having a problem deciding between 7.6.1 and 8.1 for my Sheepshaver emulator. ![]()
