Title: Sheepsaver PowerPC MacOS emulator
Post by: maximusotter on August 21, 2006, 20:47:05 PM
For XP, Linux, and OSX.

Looks interesting, anybody want to try to get it running? :P

You need a copy of OS9 and a Mac rom image, whatever that is.

i geddit, but the question is, why would you want to run anything on Mac OS 9? from what i heard it was dog sh*te, that said im not the only Macphile on the planet and i am sure someone will want to use it, especially as Classic support is being discontinued soon and so you wont be able to use it in the next itteration of Mac OS X.

i understand that, but surely critical apps would have been produced/coded to run in Mac OS X or at the very least adequate replacements found by those people who use them?
