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

[Ronald P. R. <ron...@xs...>]

Hi Pål,

The basilisk-devel mailing list is not intended for support questions. Emaculation is by far the best place for support, with also downloads links for recent application builds and several elaborate user guides. Apparently you did register for Emaculation forum before but forgot the user name you used. I will send your Emaculation account info to your email address directly.

Note that Mountain Lion prevents SheepShaver to mount CD-ROMS. Disk images made of CDs work fine.

Ronald.

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. 

			Sincerely,
