System details
Power Macintosh 7300
96MB of RAM

Open Transport 1.1.1
Issue
Launching SSHEVEN-FAT produces the following error and immediately quits.
@cy384 commented on GitHub (Dec 9, 2021):
thanks for the report, does it give an error code or any other information?
@lukecyca commented on GitHub (Dec 9, 2021):
That's the exact text in the dialog box. No error codes or anything. What's curious is that "occured" is misspelled, but that seems to be the case for many error messages generated by this era of Mac.
I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this other than start turning off extensions. Any other advice?
@cy384 commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2021):
honestly, no, I haven't done any serious debugging on the mac side of things. Any chance there was an issue with downloading/transferring/extracting it, and either the resource fork or the data fork got messed up? Maybe running this version could make it do something different.
@lukecyca commented on GitHub (Dec 12, 2021):
Today I built my RaSCSI kit so I have more options to get stuff on and off of this old machine. I tried
ssheven-0.8.8-fat.binandssheven-0.8.8-fat.dskand both exhibited the same error unfortunately.I'll try the 68k-only version next, and then start trying with other bootable images with various OS versions.
@lukecyca commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2021):
The 68k-only version seems to work!
I also tried booting from various other clean 7.5.x boot volumes and got the same behaviour each time: the fat version resulted in the same error, but the 68k version worked.
@cy384 commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2021):
that's good info, I'll look into the PPC build to see what's going on
@cy384 commented on GitHub (Dec 28, 2021):
After taking a look on my PPC test machine, ssheven runs fine on 9.1 but not on 8.0. I'll admit this is the first time I've ever tested, I guess very few people run 7 or early versions of 8 on their PPC machines! The reported error is:
The application "ssheven-0.8.8" could not be opened because "InterfaceLib--PBXGetVolInfoSync" could not be foundThis may be a case where later versions of the OS gave more info in the error message, or it may be a separate problem. This particular error is apparently caused by using a function which is not available on PPC 8.0 or 8.1. I'll hack it out for a quick test build tomorrow and see if it runs.
@cy384 commented on GitHub (Dec 28, 2021):
@lukecyca can you try this version? http://www.cy384.com/media/bin/ssheven-no-PBXGetVolInfoSync.bin
It works on my 8.0 machine, at least.
@lukecyca commented on GitHub (Dec 28, 2021):
It works! Thanks so much.
@cy384 commented on GitHub (Dec 29, 2021):
fixed (over in my mbedtls repo), it'll be working correctly in the next ssheven release
