![]() ![]() Anyway, for your Intel Mac, SheepShaver is your only option so be thankful for Gwenole Beauchesne. It's kinda weird that PPC Macs can run 22 year-old apps while the Intel Macs are limited to 5 years, but that's progress I guess. For whatever reason, Apple decided to kill the Classic mode on Intel-based Macs. ![]() Only problem is a PPC-based Mac is a requirement. Navigate to the WPMacPPC application itself and click on it. ![]() The first time you run the appliation, OS X may ask you where the SheepShaver application is located and display a list of applications. However, I would strongly recommend you stick with Apple's Classic mode, as it has much better compatibility, and integrates (almost) seamlessly with OS X. OS X may warn you that you are running a program download from the Internet and will ask if you want to continue. If the System and Applications folders of a non-bootable version of Classic were placed in a disc image and used in a PowerMac emulator, would the image be able to successfully boot OS 9 on the emulator? However, I recall that Mac OS Classic supposedly can be copied entirely to another hard drive by copying the System and Applications folders. I believe that it will run System 7 and above, perhaps System 7,5 and above, but IDK about anything earlier. Ever since 2003, Apple changed the firmware on their PowerPC machines so that they would no longer be able to boot the included Mac OS 9.2.2 naively. I used to run Sheepshaver on 10.4 and 10.5, as I had to use a specific programme that was never ported to OSX, via 9.x. ![]()
