Description:

An easy way to run "classic" applications under macOS
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. In order to run such applications, macOS users must now install "emulator" software that runs old versions of the Mac OS in a window on the macOS desktop. The most advanced of these emulator programs is SheepShaver. SheepShaver is no longer supported by its original author, Gwenolé Beauchesne, but updates, made by a programmer who calls himself or herself kanjitalk755, are available from an active support forum at E-Maculation.
This page provides a system that makes it easy to set up and use SheepShaver under macOS 10.12 or later. You will need to supply a "ROM file" (as described below) and you will need an installation CD for any version of the Mac OS from OS 8.5 through 9.0.4, or a disk image of such a CD, as described below.
This system requires macOS 10.12 or later. Updated 29 May 2022 with the latest SheepShaver code.
