I also wrote about using the emulator to build a new update for the MATH DITTOS 2 series on a rare Educators' News posting recently. Working with Sheepshaver is a quick writeup I did of my experience with the emulator, complete with links to essential instructions and files. My Mac Mini now runs System 8.1 under Sheepshaver, while the new laptop runs System 9.0.4 under the emulator.

I went back to an emulator I'd originally and unsuccessfully tried when Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was released (2007-2008) and found that the Sheepshaver application has become quite easy to install and use. With the switch to Intel powered machines, running Classic apps was no longer possible as it had been with the PowerPC machines running Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). Over a sixth month period, I replaced my G5 tower with a mid-2010 Mac Mini and later had to replace my 12" G4 PowerBook with a new 13.3" MacBook Pro. I finally got unceremoniously thrust into the Intel powered Mac world with a number of failures of some of my PowerPC Macs. , and I'll consider adding it to the tables above the next time I update this page. If you know of a site I've missed that is still providing software for vintage Macs, please

Pure Macįrisky's Archive of Free Macintosh Software The following are pages of links to software that may or may not contain their own archive. I do maintain a small archive of Classic Mac Software I have permission to post (or carried a permissive reposting notice in the ReadMe file) on our Freebies page. If you've previously visited this page, you may have noticed that the table above continues to get smaller, as private Mac archives die off. As of this update to this page, I'm having better luck finding old Mac software on the Tucows site than anywhere else. Here are some actual archives that you can search for older software. As the years pass, it's getting steadily more difficult to find programs for pre-OS X Macs. Just $19.Many of my columns have dealt with vintage Mac computers, so it's only logical that I at least try to provide a few links for folks trying to find software that still works on vintage Macs.

The first Mac notebook built upon Intel Core Duo with iLife ’06, Front Row and built-in iSight. An experimental port to MacOS X 10.4.4 for Intel is now available. The following platforms are currently supported: Linux (i386, ppc, x86_64), MacOS X (i386, ppc), Darwin, NetBSD 2.0, FreeBSD 5.3 and Windows for x86. Performance with the current CPU emulator using basic just-in-time (JIT) translation techniques is roughly 1/8-th of native speeds. On other systems, SheepShaver provides the first PowerPC G4 emulator, though without MMU, to enable the execution of MacOS Classic. If you are using a PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speeds (i.e. SheepShaver is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a PowerMacintosh ROM image to use this program. That is, it enables you to run PowerPC Classic MacOS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. SheepShaver is an open source PowerPC MacOS run-time environment.
