I am about to try using SheepShaver and from what I can read it looks like the program emulates multiple versions of macs from 7.5.3 to 8.5 to 9.0.4. I already use Basilisk and two versions of MiniVmac and now I'm wondering when I download a game what emulator should I use? Some games are said to be used by all three and I'm assuming the SheepShaver must be set up as am earlier mac version if the game also is run by MiniVmac but that's just an assumption. I know if it's in black and white a MiniVmac would probably be best unless it doesn't run then maybe Basilisk.
Is there a way to tell which emulator would work best, sort of a rule of thumb like the older or newer mac emulation recommended, or do I need to just try all and see for myself which one runs more smoothly? For example "SolarianII" supposedly works for Basilisk but I have never been able to get it to work and "Pax Imperia" causes Basilisk to freeze up, so I'm hoping for more success with SheepShaver.
Also with three different types of macs that SheepShaver emulates do I just make three different Boot disks or should I skip 7.5.3 and keep Basilisk for that?
