Before starting, you will need:

A Mac ROM, normally present on every Mac OS 8 or 9 install CD.@ A generic Mac OS 8 or 9 install CD… Not an install dedicated to a given machine, as often distributed withmachines in the past, but a general OS install…

OK, let’s go…!

Here is the content of SheepShaver folder, after download, and following the instructions ofGwenolé Beauchesne at: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects/sheepshaver/help/installation

Installing SheepShaver on a Mac Intel

You will need an OS ROM from Mac..

This ROM can be found on any Mac OS 8 or 9 install CD; see also numerous forums on this subject..

See: http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:sheepshaver for more info…


Then… run SheepShaverGUI..


Here is the first Tab of SheepShaverGUI:

The place where you define volumes and shared folders…



1. Create a disk image which will contain your Mac



1. Create a disk image which will contain your MacHere I have created a 4GB disk in the SheepShaver Directory…



2. In principle, you should then define here the Unix path to a shared folder on your Mac OSX…


3. However, personnaly, I found this shared folder did not work properly, and preferred to create anew (512Mb) disk image, using « Disk Utilities » of OSX, place it in SheepShaver folder, and add itin the above list using the Add button.




4. Finally, select "Boot from CD-ROM", in order to load Mac OS 9 from the install disk atthe 1st run of SheepShaver…


At this stage, you should have your 2 hard disks in the SheepShaver folder…

Generated using the Create button of SheepShaveGUI

Generated using Mac OSX Disk Utilities (new disk image)


In the second Tab, you setup the size of your Mac window…

No comments…


Third Tab: define the link to keycodes.sdl file

Use the Browse button to define the path of this file which is normally situated in your SheepShaver folder


Fourth Tab: defining serial ports…

I did not make anything here.. There are numerous forums on this subject, if needed…


Fifth Tab: one of the most important settings, memory..!



1. Define the size of the memory you wish to use in your Mac.. here set at 512 Mb



2. Use the Browse button to specify the path to Mac ROMI have renamed it Mac_OS_ROM, and placed it in the SheepShaver folder


And the final Tab…

Be sure to check the Enable JIT Compiler checkbox…


And that’s all..! Just click on Start button, with the Mac OS install CD in the disk drive…

Important Notes:

- Mac Install CD should be loaded in the disk drive before loading SheepShaverGUI (i.e. before the first step of this tutorial…) - SheepShaver should start on the CD, and you are ready to install MacOS (8.5 to 9.0.2 recommended) - and finally….


You will be fascinated by this wonderful PaleoMac application running under Mac OS 9 on your Mac Intel…!


A few tips… (1) I have placed an alias of SheepShaver on OS X desktop, renamed it Mac OS9 HD, and changed its icon…NOTE: this is NOT an alias of the hard disk generated by SheepShaverGUI as explained in previous steps…


Installing SheepShaver under Windows XPA few tips… (2)

I have also placed an alias of the 2nd disk on OS X desktop…This is my way to exchange data between OS X and OS 9…
