![]() ![]() I am a developer living in UK, I like classic Mac OS systems very much and I have a collection of Macintosh Systems and all that stuff. If you are new to classic Macintosh and require a version of StuffIt to access ".sit" files and you do not have a copy of StuffIt already installed or know how to go about extracting ".sit" archives then: Most files uploaded to the Macintosh Garden have been archived using some form of compression software.Ī common archived format you will encounter here, are files that have been compressed using a version of StuffIt (Deluxe, DropStuff, or Lite) and saved as ".sit" archives.It's been a long time I don't post anything here on 68kmla, so maybe I should re-introduce myself. Install the StuffIt Expander v5.5 from here. This is the easiest method to place a version of StuffIt onto your Mac or emulator and it can access many of the archives found here (including other compressed formats and not only StuffIt's own ".sit" archives). ![]() Note: If you are running Mini vMac you will need to use an earlier version of StuffIt (v 4.x or earlier). (a) The software will probably be compressed. Use the decompression utility of your choice to expand it ( StuffIt Expander is a good choice). If the utility is in the emulator, skip to (c). (b) If the software came in a disk image (.dsk), try dragging it onto a Mini vMac window. The emulated computer should be started up and running a version of System. If Mini vMac says the disk must be initialized and the disk image is not empty, it is probably a compressed disk image. ![]() In Mac OS X you can open the image in Disk Utility and click the "convert" button to remove the compression. This disk image should now work in Mini vMac. Alternate procedures could be attempted to try extracting the files from it with another emulator or separate piece of software. The Disk Copy utility from pre-Mac OS X Macs may help. (c) If the software came by itself without a disk image, or if you need to put a compressed archive into the emulator, you must place the file onto a Mini vMac-formatted disk image. In Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) and earlier Disk Utility can write to. dsk files if the extension is changed from. In later versions of Mac OS X Disk Utility can only read. Some HFS utilities, and other emulators can also do this. Then, drag the disk image onto Mini vMac the same way as in step (b). You can almost always put the file into the shared folder. Do not run programs or extract archives from within the shared folder, move it to your emulated hard drive beforehand. The shared drives primary use is for moving files between the emulated hard drive and the host hard drive.ĭisk images can be opened in Disk Copy. If this fails, try adding the disk image to the drives list in Basilisk II GUI or SheepShaver preferences. Or, download directly inside the emulator. QEMU is capable of emulating Mac OS 9 up to 9.2.2, with some quirks such as some latency and missing audio (as of 2020). On gryphel I a single line ( ) allowed me to import an un-Stuffed application from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) into Mini vMac: The installation instructions can be found on the QEMU wikibook: Ī recipe that produces a complete build of OS9.2.2 in QEMU can be found here: However, the system runs fine and stable. "Renaming a disk image to end in '.dmg' (not '.dsk') makes it directly mountable in recent versions of Mac OS X." Basilisk emulator windows 10 mac os x# I just had vanlandingham running on my machine care of such a downloaded. sit that had to be transferred to a disk before it'd run in Mini vMac. That takes me back! I still remember being in awe of its elegant simplicity and the smoothness of its operation on my Mac 512 (I've never called it a Fat Mac). ![]() I've recently taken it upon myself to do something that I should've 23 years ago-formally study computer science. ![]()
