Shapeshifter config for Mac OS 8.1?

[Flashlab]

Never got 8.1 working with ShapeShifter, but it does work with Fusion though...

You don't need MacOS 8.1 for that; I use 7.5.5 and that runs both of those games fine. Best of all 7.5.5 is freely available from Apple and in different languages too!

Hehe I understand your 8.1 obsession! Have it myself too... and it runs on Fusion. Will try ShapeShifter later again.

To make Warcraft II run you need CFM 68k Runtime Enabler 4.0 (I think it was called) in 7.5.x. This is already built in in 7.6 and 8.x. Just google it and you can download it.

I'm using P96 and it doesn't work for me either. It does work with Fusion though but ShapeShifter is faster.

I guess it's because of some 060 (you use that don't you?) function. WinUAE doesn't have that problem (040 emu). Maybe you could try to disbale some features with the CPU060 command to see if that has any influence?

Fusion gives me some troubles too. When it runs it runs fine but once it crashes (always during start of the emulation after I changed some config it doesn't like) I must turn off my machine to totally clear the memory for it to start again without crashing.

Fusion is a though $%^& to setup. You should check the memory settings first. It was very picky about that with me.

About rsrvcold/warm I don't even use those commands; 3.9 ROM should take care of that?...

[Flashlab]

For Fusion I use the following memory options. They work with my config listed below.

Memory mapping: Normal

Kickstart Remap: Normal

Nope won't work. I tried it too. Something in 8.1 makes it crash with ShapeShifter and that may have to do with 060?

[Flashlab]

Hehe I googled around a bit on 8.1 on ShapeShifter and 060 and read some old post on Applefritter where TJLazer mentions running 8.1 on 060 in ShapeShifter.

So come on TJLazer come on and help us! ;-)

If you have a 1Mb ROM then it should be suitable for 040 I think?

[Flashlab]

Hmm but there were different roms for different machines... Worth a try!

[Flashlab]

Just tried a Quadra 700 ROM and it doesn't work...

[Flashlab]

Yeah I guess it's a 060 problem too. I tried to disable as much as possible with the cpu060 command but alas...

I guess you could use 8.0, but it really is frustrating, eh?

[Flashlab]

Officially 8.1 doesn't run on 030.

There are some workarounds though:
