Civilization II Gold - Crash on launch

Has anyone had any luck getting Civ 2 running in sheepshaver? Every time I launch it, the menu bar disappears and Sheepshaver locks up.

I'm using the latest build (UB 20091018), running OS 9 on Snow Leopard (I've tried it in a 8.5 install as well).

What about under Basilisk II with Mac OS 7.5.3 (the minimum requirement) ?

It's not the Mac OS (8.5 or 9), as I reported in the game, it runs perfectly even under Classic with 9.2.2 in OSX 10.3.9. So I'm guessing it's either Sheepshaver or Snow Leopard.

Or your Sheepshaver setup. Do you reduce colors before starting ? Set the resolution to something sensible for the age of the game.
How much memory is allocated to Civ II ?
What resoluton does sheepshaver emulate ?
And what's it's colour depth ?
Audio on ?
Have you applied the v1.1.1 update ?
What ROM have you used ?
How much RAM allocated to the Mac in SS ?

Thanks for the offer of help, sorry I didn't reply.

I tried checking the "Ignore Illegal Memory Addresses" box, and that seemed to do the trick.
