Q: Classic Appsw

So I've read through all of the posts on here regarding classic apps and so far have not been able to run any though sheepshaver. I am able to open OS9 via the Sheepshaver GUI but it will not allow me to run any of the old apps. I'm thinking I may need OS 7.5 to run these as they are quite old. Games like 3 in three, Crystal Quest etc). Any help is appreciated

Al 24" Intel iMac (2.4 ghz, 4Gig RAM), iPhone 3G, HK Soundsticks II, Mac OS X (10.5.4), 500gb WD MyBook, 750gb Maxtor, 1tb Seagate (Also run XP Pro under Bootcamp)

    Discussion about SheepShaver is generally not kosher on these forums. SheepShaver requires the use of the boot ROM code of a Mac that could boot OS 9, and Apple has not licensed that code to run on any hardware that can not natively boot OS 9. See sections 1 and 2 of the OS 9 EULA.

    There are actually several discussion revolving around sheepshaver on here. I also have a copy of OS9, I'm just wondering if I need something different. Also the Copy of Tiger that I have that came with this iMac does not have "Classic Mode" on the install CDs or I would try to use the apps that way.
