About This App

SheepShaver is an open-source PowerPC Macintosh emulator that lets you run classic Mac OS applications (versions 7.5.2 through 9.0.4) on modern systems including macOS, Windows, and Linux. It emulates a PowerPC-based Mac computer, allowing vintage Mac software and games to run without needing original hardware. Users typically pair SheepShaver with a classic Mac OS system image and a PowerPC ROM file to create a complete retro Mac environment. It is popular among enthusiasts, archivists, and anyone wanting to preserve or run legacy Macintosh software.

SheepShaver now ships as a Universal Binary with native Apple Silicon support. A native build has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If you are still running an older Intel-only version under Rosetta, updating to the latest version will deliver noticeably better performance and improved battery life on M-series Macs. Download the current build directly from the official SheepShaver website or from the macemu GitHub project, which automatically serves the appropriate architecture for your Mac.
