SheepShaver is no longer supported by its original author, Gwenolé Beauchesne, but minor updates are available from an active support forum at E-Maculation. The most advanced of these emulator programs is SheepShaver. In order to run such applications, OS X and macOS users must now install "emulator" software that runs old versions of the Mac OS in a window on the OS X or macOS desktop. OS X and macOS no longer makes it possible to run "classic" Mac applications written for "classic" Mac OS versions, such as System 7 or Mac OS 9. I'm checking through all my apps to see what will run under Catalina, so thought I'd solicit some feedback on how emulators are doing on it.Īn easy way to run "classic" applications under OS X and macOS I am curious as to what emulators people are having success with under Catalina. This has been with the 3.4.1 version don't recall if I've tried newer versions under macOS 10.13. So, each time I use it, I have to make sure to have a backup of each and every. dsk that were mounted within it unusable. The problem I have had with Mini vMac is that it seems to crash a lot and, when it does, it makes any. I thought maybe I tried SheepShaver once, but I don't remember for certain. I have seen QEMU mentioned in another thread along with SheepShaver. I don't have anything to emulate a PowerPC Mac which I will probably need/want at some point. Mac Classic (System 7, 68030 or 68040): Basilisk II Sweet16 also seems to work well for Apple IIGS emulation, but I can't say that I've done a lot with it. Also, I use Virtual ][ on a machine with macOS 10.13 but I can't seem to get it to run as well as the version that works under 10.6.8.) I also use Mini vMac, but that has been the least stable of them. Only thing that doesn't seem to work is sound. I have had good luck running Basilisk II version 1.0 (Mac OS X port 19) under Mac OS X 10.6.8. I am curious what are the best options for emulating older Macs on current Macs macOS Catalina? The editor saved this unfinished post evidently, I intended to post this a long time ago. Okay, so it's not quite 2020 yet, but fairly close.
