Sheepshaver increase disk size mac os#

some sites have been saying that i need to use some 'tomeviewer' or something to extract the ROM from an Apple update ROM file, but this 'tomeviewer' program only works on mac os and not os x. i think the reason why i cant do it is because of the ROM file. i have read that i need the program SheepShaver, the Mac OS 9.0.4 disc, and also a ROM file?. i have gone through about 5 links which have the ROM files on them but none of them work.Ĭould somebody please help me get OS 9.0.4 to run on my MacBook Pro. Redownload what you upload and test it on period hardware.Īlso, CD-Rs are amazing for transfering and I still buy 100 disk cakes for when I don't have ethernet cards in a machine.I have searched far and wide on ways to get sheep shaver to work. The most important thing is to always test your uploads. Version 5 is great that it works when uploaded, but in a way it is a bad thing - it has made people think they can upload any sit and resulted in lots of trashed uploads.

Stuffit Extractor and Compact Pro will both extract a sit in a bin. The reason? Because that is what all the common period software expects. Genuinely I believe the best solution is to do what we used to do - sit + bin. but it is often a bit of a bodge and I have to guess the block size and hope. The reason I say this is because with default settings a) you can't decompress with a sit v.5 file on a 68000 and b) it just takes too long on any 68k computer.Īgain, I haven't seen an iso solution for 68000, or a good one for 68k. Because you should bin / hqx the older sit files. Regarding your comment 'whether I need to unstuff them, and then stuff them again using a newer version', personally, I say no. Like you say, before version 5 stuffit files had a resource fork, after, they didn't. I believe the change happened at version 5. If everyone just had an ISO mounter extension, and all of the downloads were ISO it would solve so many problems

I kind of wish some standardized file format would be established for the archive sites like Macintosh Garden and Macintosh Repository. I want people who download the files to be able to extract them easily, as well. Or whether I can just upload them (once I know what version was used to stuff them). I would like to clarify whether I need to unstuff them, and then stuff them again using a newer version, to avoid corruption issues. I have many thousands of files that I have stored in StuffIt archive format (.sit) on pre-OS X Macs going back to 1995. sit file to a non-Mac? If not, when did this feature begin? I want to know, is there anything lost when compressing a set of files with StuffIt 5.5 and then uploading that. At some point, it seems that StuffIt changed its compression/encoding to account for uploads to non-Mac computers.

hqx file, that we decoded, which contained a compressed archive, often. I'm trying to understand the necessity to BinHex (.hqx) files before uploading to a website.
