Or, you could edit the preferences file, by opening the file, BasiliskIIprefs, in notepad (as here is no GUI preferences dialogue) and add. Hopefully some people here know about SheepShaver and can help me.Īlso here is my SheepShaver_prefs file: disk C:\Users\name\Documents\Mac OS 8_6.isoĭisk C:\Users\name\Desktop\SheepShaver\SheepShaver\Mac OS 8_6.hfv So the easiest option, without requiring you to modify the preferences file, in the Basilisk II directory, rename the ROM file, from quadra650.rom to just ROM. It's packed into the ISO with everything else.
#SHEEPSHAVER CANNOT OPEN ROM FILE HOW TO#
I don't know how to use that with SheepShaver. Something else of interest is that I did download a rom from somewhere for OS 8.6, but in the process of copying files from the mac I noticed that there was a rom in the system folder. I'm not sure what that means or if it even applies to OS 8.6 (the post is about OS 9).
#SHEEPSHAVER CANNOT OPEN ROM FILE DRIVERS#
When one selected an OS9 System Folder as the Startup Disk in OS X and the hard disk does not have OS 9 Drivers installed, same situation will happen upon reboot and the only way to recover booting to OS X is to use Open Firmware console or a valid external OS 9 boot disk with latest version of Startup Disk control panel.
#SHEEPSHAVER CANNOT OPEN ROM FILE MAC OS X#
Mac OS X doesn't need any disk driver partition to work, but Classic OSes always need driver partitions in order to boot from non-floppies. Open Firmware has successfully loaded the Mac OS ROM, but the CD does not contain OS 9 drivers. When I try to start the emulation, I get met with a gray screen with a gray floppy disk icon with a blinking question mark, and it hangs there.įrom here I read that that floppy disk symbol means I followed the rest of the guide to the letter.

eBay to find second hand Mac PCs with the installation CD. I just copied everything from the mac onto a usb flash drive and then packed it all into an ISO.īy following the sheepshaver tutorial I made two volumes, one using the ISO I created and the other as a hard file named Mac OS 8_6.hfv. If you do not have either a MacPC ROM file or MacOS CD, you cannot run MacOS on Windows. I'm not the most familiar with using bootable disk images (or OS 8.6 for that matter). I know I should download the Mac OS 9 image and name it 'Mac OS ROM and drop it over sheepshaver wrapper.
#SHEEPSHAVER CANNOT OPEN ROM FILE INSTALL#
In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.I dug out the old IMac G3 with OS 8.6 today, and I'm trying to make a disk image of it so that I can boot it on my windows pc. I'm trying to install sheepshaver to run old mac games on my Macbook running Mac OS Sierra. It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility.
