I know there are other emulators that I have yet to play around with, such as PearPC and QEMU - which allow you to emulate newer PPC Macs running OS X.
#SHEEPSHAVER ENLARGE DRIVE SOFTWARE#
I think writing this is inspiring me to write a full-fledged blog post on SheepShaver and try to get it to run in Catalina, but I don't really have any software to run on it and I prefer playing around in System 6/7 because that is the true classic Macintosh era. It works quite good, but can be a little tedious to setup like BII.
#SHEEPSHAVER ENLARGE DRIVE INSTALL#
(Though I think it's more tailored toward OS 9, or at least that's what I use with it.) I haven't tried to install SheepShaver in Catalina, but do have it on my ThinkPad with Windows 10. 1991.) Macintosh.js uses BII as a "base." Color, easy to get files between host and VM, and can run a wide variety of software with ease. (Learn more of my thoughts on Mini vMac on my blog.)īasilisk II: Good for testing System 7.5.3 most of the time. Transferring files between host and VM in Mini vMac is difficult. Apparently you can somehow run Mini vMac in a way to emulate a Macintosh II with color and System 7, but I don't know how this is done - and I think you have to donate to the project to do it. I use this to "evaluate" software that I hope to run on my actual Classic when I get it fixed and a FloppyEmu for it.
#SHEEPSHAVER ENLARGE DRIVE PLUS#
This emulates a Macintosh Plus with 4MB RAM, which is very close to the SE and Classic. It used to be a lot simpler before Catalina came along and slashed support for legacy 32-bit apps.Īlso, if you want to get more into classic Mac emulators, here's a quick guide: to use for creating the HFS volume for the VM. The main difference with configuring BII in Catalina is there is a patched (beta IIRC) 64-bit installer GUI that can be a little. Turns out the issue was with me, not the computer. If you decide to set up BII, make sure to follow the installer part step closely, because at first that gave me a giant headache when I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me run the installation. I've linked to the directions for 7.5.3 with BII.
#SHEEPSHAVER ENLARGE DRIVE HOW TO#
It not only has the links to the downloads for the BII and other emulator apps, but also directions on how to set them up in Windows, macOS or Linux. If you want to try BII, this website (Emaculation) is a lifesaver. You can learn my thoughts about it (along with test screenshots) on my blog here. It can be a little challenging to set up at first (especially in macOS Catalina - but don't worry, it does work once you get it figured out) but works quite well once set up. The better solution would probably be install Windows 95 in your own VM or (possibly?) through DOSBox.īasilisk II is the best way to experience System 7.
#SHEEPSHAVER ENLARGE DRIVE DRIVERS#
There is no support for sound drivers or anything - and it crashes if you attempt to go out to DOS. You can "mount" disk images, but you can't transfer files between the host and virtual machine. Other than the default Windows 95 apps, you can't do anything. It does emulate Windows 95 and allows you to use it, but it really isn't usable.

I've tried Felix's other emulator, windows95. Mini vMac is a great option for emulating compact Macs with System 6, but apparently you can "upgrade" it to System 7 and even color to get a "Macintosh II" experience rather than a "Macintosh Plus" experience. I still prefer BII because you can install System 7. (Personally, not a huge fan of OS 8 or OS 9.) However, I feel it's pretty well done and is a good starting point for emulating Classic Mac OS, at least OS 8. But some of those apps/games are broken (or at least were when I tried it) so they can be finnicky. Macintosh.js is okay because it's fairly easy to use (no difficult configurations like with regular BII and SheepShaver) and already comes with some games and apps to use. (I've also used SheepShaver but have yet to write about it.) And AFAIK it only supports ARM and/or x86.I reviewed Macintosh.js in addition to two of the other popular Classic Mac emulators - Mini vMac and Basilisk II. That just makes it a clunkier VirtualBox that barely even supports ANY OS.

And neither has VirtualBox with Snow Leopard.

Trust me when I say I've never seen QEMU boot up to my. Thank god E-Maculation helped me get macOS 9 working. However, I need to set up a bunch of crap and save them as a. No configurating of bus ratios and stuff could change that. Those VBOX guides? Redundant to my issue, as you practically NEED an Intel processor for it to come out working. But how else can I run macOS 10.3-10.5 and be a firsthand witness of that classic intro video? Sure, I get the Leopard intro in Snow Leopard, but that is a PAIN and a half to setup because you need the Hackintosh files, in which EVERY SINGLE ONE of those download links are dead in the grave due to file hosting closures and even worse, my family uses AMD EXCLUSIVELY. I get it VirtualBox and VMWare is so so SOOOOO much simpler and easier.
