[B2-devel] How do I play games in SheepShaver?

[Pål H. <mon...@ya...>]

Sorry to bother you, but this email is listed under support on the SheepShaver official website. Emaculation forum is also listed but its complete garbage; It says my email is already used so I can't register but it has no way to recover my username/password and it has no support and I'm not willing to make anymore effort than that to use their website. 

So, I did a search the other day for an OS 9 emulator, specifically for the purpose of playing Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, and a couple other OS 9 games I miss playing. I found this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrrT9_4Jdbs) which contains a link to a RapidShare dl of SheepShaver. I've heard of SheepShaver before, but the Download link on the official website doesn't have a link to download the app in this way, and its not worth additional effort so I never got the program. 

The problem is there's only half a gig on the disc image that the program boots from. Now, I can add 1 game to it (Baldur's Gate Tales of The Sword Coast in this case) however it requires a disc to play, and the disc mounts on my OSX desktop which isn't acknowledged in the OS9 environment. I tried making a disc image, but it can't be put onto it because of space limitation. Navigating to it through "Unix" I couldn't run the dmg anyway. So I downloaded a little program called Disk Copy 6.4 that claimed to allow OS9 to run .dmg, however when I try I get an error -50. 

I'm running Lion in a late '09 MBP (I also have an '07 24" iMac AL) but I'm upgrading to Mountain Lion tomorrow. I use my iMac as my desktop/storage comp so I have a 2.5TB drive on it so I'm going to make a partition and install SL on it, so I can run PPC games and apps using Rosetta. Will SheepShaver run better on SL? Both my comps are intel otherwise I'd install Tiger on a partition too. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to this message.
