Install: Froze up on the first attempt, worked fine on the second attempt. S.SubZero Volunteer Posts: 123 Joined: 5. I run it in a VM since SheepShaver can't do networking in XP64. SheepShaver is very glitchy and unstable, and crashes seemingly at random, but the speed in a VM is about the same as running it straight on XP64.
Sheepshaver slowing down mac os#
Windows 2000 guest running Mac OS 9.0.4 under SheepShaver, a PPC emulator. It also marked an early interest Apple had in the Intel platform, as this is an X86 version, circa 1999. It is basically OpenStep with OS 9 stylings. Note: Rhapsody is one of the development platforms Apple released during the design and development of OS X. Stability: Good, tho it did BSOD my host once, might have been VT-x on at the time. Speed: Unbearably slow, due to the lack of VESA Settings: 192MB RAM, 8MB Video, ACPI/VT-x disabled, video cannot go to VESA Note: cannot properly render in nine year old web browsers. Stability: Good! (not that it can do much)
Sheepshaver slowing down Pc#
Speed: Probably beyond native, since the fastest PC it likely ever saw in it's day was barely a Pentium II Support: VESA video (after last patch), network Settings: 512MB RAM, 8MB Video, ACPI/VT-x disabled, 1400x1050x32 custom video mode Install: Rough, but procedures can be found on Google Note: They still port Firefox and Seamonkey to BeOS but they run VERY slow Speed: Interface feels slow, disk access is pretty bad Support: VESA video (w/3rd party app), network, sound (flaky) Settings: 512MB RAM, 8MB Video, ACPI enabled, VT-x disabled, 1280x1024x16 custom video mode (I don't use USB so I have it disabled and untested on all guests) What "Other/Unknown" OSs have you tried in VBox?
The drop-down list in VBox has OS/2, Solaris, BSD, Netware, L4. That's all well and good, but they get boring after a while. Virtualbox is great for virtualizing Windows and Linux.
