SheepShear, an advanced PowerPC emulator designed to run MacOS classic

SheepShear -- A fork of SheepShaver

While SheepShaver provides decent PowerPC emulation on Linux, BeOS, and Windows, it development has been extremely slow in the last 5 plus years.

To ensure a quality MacOS Classic emulator continues on to exist in a functioning state for Linux and Haiku, SheepShear was created as a fork of the SheepShaver codebase

Targeted Platforms:

• Haiku
• Linux
• MacOS X
  • MacOS X moved to clang in recent versions. The old qemu dyngen engine we use doesn't play nicely with clang :(
• Windows ?

TODO Items:

• Refactor code base, clean up extern functions to classes
• Better GUI
• Better Icons
• Easier to use

Done Items:

• Basilisk II code integrated
• Fork renamed to SheepShear

Frequently asked questions:

SheepShear is based on SheepShaver... What is SheepShaver?

• SheepShaver is an excellent PowerPC emulator found here: http://sheepshaver.cebix.net

Where can I converse in a public place on this fine product?

• IRC irc.freenode.net #sheepshear

How do I compile SheepShear?

• See COMPILE for instructions

I'm getting "Cannot map Low memory Globals: Operation not permitted"

• This is due to newer linux kernels preventing non-root applications from mapping lower memory segments (security?) to solve, set the kernel paramater (via sysctl or sysctl.conf)
