• Good Classic replacement

  jasoceanMarch 31, 2011

  Pros

  Works most of the time

  Cons

  But not all the time. Some old programs just won't work.

  Summary

  I use it to run a legacy version of "Canvas" (version 3.5). This one works, which is all I really wanted "classic" for.

• Brilliant Mac OS Emulator

  Pros

  It works beautifully! 64-bit! Intel! Will probably work on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion!

  Cons

  Getting it set up is a bit annoying. It occasionally crashes.

  Summary

  I am very pleased that the SheepShaver project lives on. I spent a couple hours with this new, updated and slightly simpler 64-bit Intel version and it runs great! My favorite version of Mac OS was 8.6. I have it installed as per instructions and enjoy playing in it. Everything runs very well. The only trouble I ran into was a missing QuickTime video codec for a game, which probably means I have to dig out a later version of QuickTime. If you want to run most of your old Mac OS applications and system add-ons, this is the way to go. Be sure to follow the excellent instructions very carefully. The hardest part is getting an old Mac OS ROM file, but the instructions will help.
