Still, in this example, I'm using Homebrew, a package manager for macOS/OSX that allows you to install software via the CLI and manage easily. There are alternate versions and different ways to install it. It's pretty powerful, free, and has a macOS port. Unlike VMWare, it's able to both virtualize CPUs and emulate various CPU instruction sets.
Sure is a lot easier than trying to extract a usable ROM from a running Mac.QEMU is an open-source emulator for virtualizing computers. Still, it's a bit of a kludge, and I'm not sure whether I'm going to use it to keep MacMoney going on this trip, or whether I will spring for a new personal-finance program (someone on another thread recommended Fortora Fresh Finance, which looks interesting-though oddly that post seems to have been removed: ).īut many thanks, Chakravartin, for the Chubby Bunny tip. The developer is quite frank about the questionable legality of Chubby Bunny, but since I have several OS 9 install disks, and a bunch of vintage Macs with intact ROMs, I don't think I'm infringing on any copyright rules. After putting the MBP to sleep by closing the lid, Sheep Shaver hung and required a Force Quit to get rid of. The Chubby Bunny installation comes with Word Perfect 3.5 installed-why, I don't know, but there is a coterie of WP fanatics out there who used to lament its demise. MacMoney looks like it runs, and my USB numeric keypad even seems to work-there doesn't seem to be an embedded keypad on the MBP's keyboard, unlike my older Mac laptops.

It was a puzzle figuring out how to get any files into it, until I read a ReadMe document, which said that an empty drive called 'Unix' on the OS 9 desktop was mapped to the Shared folder in Users on the MBP. It thinks it's running on a Power Mac 9500 series machine. [ installed the folder on my MBP, double-clicked 'Classic.app', and OS 9.0.4 booted right up. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater "Politics and governing demand compromise. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981 It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. "I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918) Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

So I have a dual booting Sheepsaver Mac! Printing is setup to produce a PDF which gets directed to your installed printer. I rebooted the Sheepsaver Mac from a Mac OS 8.5 CD and installed 8.5 on it. The WordPerfect version I have has the ROM built in. * Is it possible to copy the ROM off my blue G3 and use it on the MBP? Not holding my breath, but with all the Intel OS X Macs out there, you'd think there'd be a pretty sizable market for folks whose old PowerPC machines have bit the dust and still want to run 'Classic' (OS 9 and earlier) software. Is there a simple-to-install-and-run emulator that will run on my MBP? I know of SheepShaver,īut it requires finding a ROM file* and various other fiddling to get working, and I have no time for a project.

I'm taking a trip, and for reasons of chronic dilatoriness I'd like to run a classic Mac program (the antique MacMoney) on my 13" MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard).
