#BEST MAC OS 9 EMULATOR MANUAL#

On slow host machines the software cursor may move jerkily in SheepShaver, even to the extend of being unusable.

The software cursor version displays all cursor images correctly, but cursors are switched between the MacВ OS and the MacВ OSВ X cursor when moving in and out of the SheepShaver window. The hardware cursor version uses one cursor inside and outside the SheepShaver window, but does not correctly display custom cursors of some applications inside SheepShaver. It will depend on the applications you use in SheepShaver. Whether you prefer the hardware cursor version or the software cursor version is mainly a matter of taste on fast host machines. With current builds you will find two versions of the SheepShaver application, one (H) using the hardware cursor and one (S) using the software cursor. Recent builds of SheepShaver for MacВ OSВ X have the preferences editor built-in, so no separate SheepShaverGUI or SheepShaverPrefs application is needed anymore. The files you need in your SheepShaver folder 1.

#BEST MAC OS 9 EMULATOR INSTALL#

A system install CD provided with a new Mac will usually only install on that specific model. and only generic install CDs for those MacВ OS versions can be used. Note: With most compatible ROM files SheepShaver for MacВ OSВ X can only run MacВ OS 8.5, 8.6, 9.0 or 9.0.4.

Note: Changed settings in preferences are saved when the preferences window is closed, but the changes will not take effect until the SheepShaver application is quit and launched again. (Files and folders can be renamed and/or moved to different locations afterwards, provided you make sure the new names and/or full paths to the files are entered in SheepShaver preferences.) If the needed files are in the same folder with SheepShaver, no full paths are required for configuration, just file names will work. That folder can be anywhere you like, for instance in your Home folder. To keep it simple, I will describe a setup with all files together in a folder 'SheepShaver'.
