I want to use the sheepshaver PPC emulator, but i need the 4 meg ROM that the oldworld PPC used, can any one send me that ROM or tell me a link where i can get it? (i tried using the MOL ROM but I cant figure out how to extract it.)

Rom extractors are pretty straightforward..just start them up on the mac with the rom you need and select "extract rom" or "save rom as file", which is what it then does- onto a PC floppy..the option may be greyed out if you dont have the right mac tho..'old world' macs are any pre-G3 ones, as the g3 has a different rom setup. The reason emulators supply extractors is because you need to own (or have access to) a mac yourself- you cant legally distribute ROM files (although a few gaming sites sometimes have some).I have never seen anything but 68k mac roms, however, and am very curious about this 'sheepshaver' emulater..i didn't know there was a PPC emulater out there...
