I use a disk image to transfer files (but mounting disk images in both the host OS and in the emulator simultaneously is risky, so don't do that either!). This feature is a bit buggy, too, so if you do this, don't make your root OS X user directory the shared folder. There is an option to mount a host-OS folder as a disk inside the emulator, to make file exchange easy.

Both B2 and SS crash not infrequently (eg, when editing some folder names, using some command key combos, and during other seemingly innocuous activities).

Mounting the disk image on a Mac booted into Classic would probably also work. Starting up with a different disk (eg, an installer CD or the starter disk image mentioned above), and mounting the problematic startup disk image in B2 or SS, then simply opening its System folder fixes this.

Startup disk images made outside of B2 and SS are not always recognized by B2 and SS as valid startup disks (the System folder doesn't have the Mac system icon badge on it).

If that is a problem, you may have to create a disk image with Disk Utility then erase and reformat it (you can only specify the disk format when you erase the disk, not when you first create it).

Older Mac systems (pre-8.1, I think?) cannot start up from disks formatted as "MacOS Extended" file systems.

B2 and SS are capable of mounting CDs, but I use DMG images for everything. hfv disk image (created in Windows, such as the starter disk mentioned above), you can rename it with the. DMG and CDR can be created with Disk Utility under OS X.

Both B2 and SS read a variety of disk image types, including dmg, cdr, img, smi, and hfv.

To get a little feedback from B2 and SS running under OS X, run them from Terminal (view the application package contents and open the Unix Executable File in the MacOS folder).

So, ironically, I run SS in Windows (XP Home Eddition, Service Pack 2) in order to use my Classic Macintosh applications (Photoshop 4 and Matlab 5, because I'm cheap and they are still perfectly good versions!). The display problem doesn't occur when running the Windows version of SS (under either Parallels Workstation or dual booting via Apple's Boot Camp). Using SS 2.3, build 0.386, under OS X, I have to start up OS 9 with extensions off (hold down the shift key when launching SS), or else I get some sort of display problem after the OS 9 boot sequence.

Basilisk runs for me using either System 7.5.3 or 8.1, but won't launch some of the software I want to run.

I'm running MacOS X 10.4.6 on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz w/ 2G RAM.Executor is commercial, but does not require a ROM.

exe files.Īdditional emulators exist, but I haven't tried them: Executor and SoftMac.

Just extract the contents of the downloaded files into the same directory as the SS and B2. To run SS or B2 under Windows, you'll also need: (a) the Win32 Runtime Library of Simple DirectMedia Layer and (b) the Gtk+ Win32 Runtime Library.These extractors are themselves Classic apps, so you'll need access to a Mac capable of running Classic or older to get the ROMs. Extract the ROM from the updater with TomeView. However, to use this ROM, I think you'll need at least System 8.5 (I couldn't get it to run on OS 8.1 maybe older systems don't support New World ROMs?). None of the other Apple-distributed software-based New World ROMs, nor the Old World ROMs I've extracted from my own Macs have worked.

For SheepShaver, use the Mac OS ROM Update 1.0, provided by Apple. Use CopyROM or ROM-grabber for the extraction. For B2, you must extract a ROM file from an old 68K Mac that you own.

E-Maculation has a downloadable OS 7.5.3 starter disk already prepared ( 4.3MB download).

You can get OS 7.5.3 for free from Apple.

An old Mac OS (up to OS 8.1 for B2, or OS 7.5.2 through 9.0.4 for SS).

B2 emulates an old 68K Macintosh, while SS emulates a PowerPC Mac.

Do you use an Intel-based Mac but still have a few essential Classic (pre-OS X) Mac applications you want to run? Recent universal compiles allow you to use SheepShaver (SS) or Basilisk II (B2) to run Classic software in emulation on Intel Macs under Mac OS X directly - or under Windows via dual-boot or Parallels virtualization.
