Following that, I was able to install Mac OS 8.5 without problem, and (after resetting the configuration option to boot to ‘any’) was able to boot up to the ‘hard drive’ of my new 1998-era Mac. I copied the SheepShaver application and virtual hard drive folder over from my PowerBook to my Intel iMac, so now I have two of them.
- Find SheepShaver software downloads at CNET Download.com, the most comprehensive source for safe, trusted, and spyware-free downloads on the Web.
- There are two other major Mac emulators out there, Basilisk II and SheepShaver. Basilisk II is best for emulating System 7 and 8; SheepShaver, for emulating System 8 and 9.

How To Install Games On Sheepshaver For Mac Windows 10
Hey there. I am hoping to get the classic Descent games to run on the iMac. The Descent 3 game appears to work, a game dated back in 1999. But the original (iMac edition) doesn't work. I think it had something to do with the graphic card, intel or something. I'm still pretty new with the iMac stuff.
These two games were tested using the software 'PlayonMac'
Someone in the Descent forum typed out this:
Head to here to download DXX-Rebirth. Unpack the DMG which should install the program for you. The included docs nicely explain where everything goes, but it also describes difficulty getting the data. Your options there basically boil down to using an PowerPC emulator to run an older version of Mac OS to install it, or find a PC CD-ROM instead. DXX-Rebirth can work with either the PC or Mac data, regardless of the operating system you're on at the moment. You can get the data cheaply from GOG also, if you have a little extra money to spend
I guess the other solution would be to use a PowerPC emulator to run a older Mac OS version or a version of OSX with Classic support, but I'm not sure if the Mac versions of D1/D2 have the 150 FPS cap issue.
If the top paragraph doesn't work, what do you think of the bottom, and how I would go about getting this?
Would love to get back into Descent again. Thanks in advance.
