How does the desktop folder work in SheepShaver?
Every non-removable drive had its own Desktop Folder, and the contents of those folders from every mounted disk were displayed together on the desktop.

What kind of ROM do I need for SheepShaver?

Where are the settings saved in SheepShaver GUI?
Note that the SheepShaver GUI saves all your preferences to a file called “SheepShaver_prefs”. It is saved in your SheepShaver folder and is read when SheepShaver starts. Some very new settings cannot be saved using the GUI and require manual editing of the “SheepShaver_prefs” file. Use of the GUI will overwrite these manual revisions.
