Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Yeah the first reboot can be slow. Are you using a retail or "grey" disc? IIRC, grey discs should have a Classic installer on them. Retail ones probably don't. It's a long time since I've ran these old OS X versions but I've been getting back into them recently thanks to trying out QEMU. I...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

It sounds like you've imaged the volume, but not the whole disc, so it's missing the partition map required to make it bootable. Click on the DVD drive (or the disc, I'm not 100% sure yet) in the left hand side and create an image from it (new image from untitled/volume label). Change the format to ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

That's much the same as mine, except I used 1G ram and the openbios-qemu-wip bios. Maybe try that and see?

I did find the Windows version a lot buggier. Especially with disk handling. Which is why I stick with the OS X build.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

I end up with this screen: Hmm. That's the same error I was getting after installation when I started with QEMU. If you've been able to get other stuff installed ok, then I take it you have auto-boot set to false? That was the fix for me. I could then shut down QEMU cleanly after the installation h...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

What happens if you do a clean install rather than upgrade? I clean installed all mine without a hitch, but I'm using the OS X build.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

As a followup on the Public Beta, I wanted to run the few WWDC builds I have in QEMU as well. 10.2 - 10.3 - 10.4 - 10.5 And a bonus shot playing around with the scalable UI in Tiger. On a real Mac this works in real-time, but in QEMU I have to reboot for the change to take effect. Presumably due of ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Dunno why I didn't think of disabling the network time check after install... Thanks! Now we can run the PB with networking.

And with the -rtc command I don't have to mess about with the host date anymore :)

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

I've never heard of one. When I ran it before this, I usually just set the date accordingly and kept the Mac offline.

Awesome! Can't wait to try the Public Beta. What's in your qemu.command file?

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

I don't know if it was disabling auto-boot or using G3 for installation (or both), but I'm having no problems with my OS X installs now. Installs of 10.0 GM, 10.1 GM, 10.2 WWDC, 10.3 WWDC and 10.4.3 were all successful, and I've just finished installing the Public Beta. It's great to be able to have...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

@sidoh: The two Jaguar versions I tried were 10.2.7 (a grey iMac install DVD) and the WWDC build. The 10.3 build I installed successfully after changing auto-boot to false was the WWDC one. Update: had to go out for a bit, so I left 10.4.3 installing. When I came back it was done and sitting at the ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

How did you make the image to install on? And did you partition and format it in Diskutility? I made it with the included qemu-img tool. Just a regular 4G raw image. When the installer boots I partition and format it in DU. I just tried Panther again but with auto-boot set to false. When installati...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Hi guys. It's amazing to see how far this has come! But although I managed to get 9.2.2 up and running with no fuss, I can't get OS X to install. Am I missing a step somewhere? I'm mainly trying Jaguar and Panther. I boot into the installer and format the drive with Disk Utility. Then after the inst...

Re: Shoebill - a Macintosh II + A/UX emulator for OS X

Nice! Looking forward to the next releases.

I have most of the A/UX 2.0.1 update but disk 3 is missing. Surely somebody must have a complete copy out there.

Re: Shoebill - a Macintosh II + A/UX emulator for OS X

Thanks for working on this pruten! Never thought I'd see the day I could run a emulated A/UX. And this is on top of UAE being able to run AMIX. There's a A/UX 0.7 archive on macintoshgarden that I've long been curious about. It's a tar archive of an installation so presumably it would have to be unp...

I've since noticed that it does the same in Windows, which is where I've mostly used it over the last few years. I just never noticed the high CPU usage. Partly because I don't have any CPU monitoring software or widgets running (in OS X I have iStat menus) and partly because it only uses one core t...

CPU gets maxed when menus are open.

I notice that when I use Sheepshaver in OS X (10.6.8) that whenever I open a menu in the emulated OS (7.6.1 or 8.6) the CPU usage goes through the roof.

Hi Ronald Thanks for replying. Well, the obvious first thing is that SheepShaver says the roms are unsupported. According to the faq , the 5400 should be supported. It then says to check the strings in the rom file for (in my case) "Boot Alchemy". I don't have any strings tool here in Wind...

Hi guys I've tried CopyROM and Rom-grabber but I keep getting 4mb of junk instead of a proper rom image. I've booted with extensions off and virtual memory is also off.
