SheepShaver supports Mac OS 7.5.2-9.0.4.





Extract this zip file and copy SheepShaver.exe, you will need it after the next step.





3. Extract the SheepShaver_05_05_2010.zip and replace the SheepShaver.exe inside of that folder with the one downloaded in Step 1.

Inside this zip file there is a SheepShaver folder, extract the zip archive and open the folder.

Here I extracted the folder and replaced the old SheepShaver.exe with the one we downloaded in step 1.

Here's how it should look if everything is correct. When clicking SheepShaver, it should show "Cannot open ROM file".

Just follow the instructions and you will be good!





7. Rename the ROM files to maximize compatibility.





newworld86.rom -> Mac_OS_ROM





Mac_OS_ROM -> Mac_OS_ROM_backup









8. Set the Mac_OS_ROM and 9.0.4 ISO to Read-only.





Right click, go to Properties, then check Read-only, then click OK.

After everything is filled out, click OK.

The new virtual hard drive file should appear.











12. (OPTIONAL) Go to the Graphics/Sound tab first and change a few settings. I set the Width as 1024 and the Height as 768, then also changed the refresh rate to Dynamic. This will make it a little larger and appear higher quality.





13. Go to Memory/Misc and allocate 256+ MB of RAM, then click Browse... and select the Mac_OS_ROM file. Then click OK.









14. Press Start in the bottom left of the SheepShaver GUI. You should get the Mac OS startup message and then this prompt.





15. Initialize the disk and you're ready to go!





If you want more disks, use the Add... function in SheepShaver GUI to add more disk images.
