I wanted to just copy over my old Mac archive files and the space remaining on the System Disk (OS9.img) wasn’t big enough to fit everything. And I did add an extra volume to my virtual Mac by going back to Preferences in SheepShaver and adding a 250Mbyte volume. You should also visit the Control Panel and change the Monitor to be more than the 16 colors that it might default to. Follow the remainder of the Configuring steps.Ĭontinue with the Guide by following the steps for First Run. When you get to step 3, proceed with the ROM selection but when you get to Volumes, instead of “Create”ing an image file, use Add instead and select the OS9.img file you downloaded earlier.

You’ve already got the files you need so you can skip to the Configuring SheepShaver section. Now follow E-maculation’s guide for setting up SheepShaver. I created mine inside of my Temp folder which is at the root of my user directory. Finally, create a new empty SheepShaverShare folder in your user folder somewhere. Put this image file into the SheepShaver folder too. You can create an image from an existing Mac or do what I did and just get the image from the same Redundant Robot page, just a little further down with the link named “Mac OS 9 Boot Image (120 megs)”. Again, strictly speaking, you should have the original MacOS 9 license, but again I’m not sweating it. Third, you are going to need a disk image of MacOS 9 – this is the virtual disk that will become your virtual Mac’s main hard drive. After downloading, rename the file to exactly “Mac OS ROM” and put it in the SheepShaver folder. I found mine on Redundant Robot’s SheepShaver guide page in his step 2, the second link labeled “New World PPC ROM”. Technically, ROMs are copyrighted and should not be distributed but at this point, the hardware is so old, I’m not sweating it.

(I like it there instead of in Applications but that’s just preference.) Next, you’ll need a ROM of a Mac – that’s the part of an old Mac that contains the Mac’s, umm, essence. Unzip it (if it wasn’t unzipped as part of the download) and move the new folder to /Applications/Utilities.

Start with downloading the latest version of the emulator SheepShaver ( post article | download link) which works with Tiger, Leopard, and SnowLeopard. Here’s what I did to get it running on my Hacintosh.įirst, you have to get the files you’ll need. In other words, if you miss the days of Canvas and SimCity2000, not to worry – you can get an old Mac running in your new Mac pretty easily using an emulator like SheepShaver (love the name!). There are a couple of MacOS (pre-X) emulators that allow you to run MacOS on a contemporary OS like MacOS X. This is very cool and something I didn’t know about until I stumbled across it yesterday.
