– This is an odd resolution but does work, again an extra step but a simple fix. The procedure to get it running is simply to copy the program (only the SheepShaver application itself!) to the desktop, remove the old program in the SheepShaver folder and move the new copy from the desktop to the SheepShaver folder. There is an issue with macOS 10.12 Sierra (in fact with an additional new security feature in Sierra) that prevents a newly installed SheepShaver to run.It is not overly complex and should not be a barrier to use.

Classic Mac Emulation On macOS – Mac OS 9 I will focus on Classic Mac emulation in this article as the Amiga side is a bit more involved and I am still learning the ropes on that (look out for a followup post later). I have been working on Classic Mac and Amiga emulation, with a slew of great guides and excellent free software. Giving me the opportunity to play about with some emulation options without disturbing my main work Mac.
