Do you still keep archives of your old files & documents that cannot be properly opened with todays applications? Or do you just want to play an old classic Mac game again that you enjoyed back in the days?
Then this is the right thing for you!

What you have just downloaded includes a fully preconfigured installation of MacOS 9.0.4 + the SheepShaver PPC emulator for Intel Macs.

There are two seperate packages included in this torrent.

The first one contains a small 2,5 GB Diskimage with a clean install of MacOS 9.0 that lets you setup your classic environment yourself.
The second one contains 3 large images with a huge collection of software preinstalled & registered.
One image for Applications & System files - one for Games (7,8 GB) and one with Bonus material such as wallpapers, system-sounds, icon collections and stuff (2 GB).
If you want, you can copy the files and apps from the external HHD images back into the main image (there is enough space for all files.)
All in all, this pack includes hundreds of classic Games & almost 400 Applications that you thought you'd never see again.
The system itself is completely setup, and ready to go.
It can be used for a variety of tasks such as graphics design, prepress & dtp or simply for office work or retro gaming.

SheepShaver features:
WORKING! fullscreen support
shared networking
shared clipboard
shared OSX file directory for transferring your files back & forth
G4 PPC CPU emulation through JIT compiler
built in 68K emulator (experimental)

This configuration has been tested on a MacBook Pro CoreDuo 2,16 Ghz with MacOS 10.4.11 and on an Intel Mac Mini with Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard. It runs very stable and hardly crashes. 
I've been able to test about 90% of all the apps that I installed for functionality with the emulator.

Detailed setup-instructions are included in the corresponding emualtors-build package (inside the "ReadMe - no kidding!" folder)

You can try and run SheepShaver on a PPC Leopard machine, however, the emulator was designed to run on Intel-based machines.
Despite the fact that performance is better on a native PPC Mac, stability most certainly is NOT!
This means you'll crash a lot on PPC.
