I think he meant it can be used as the guest classic environment for some Mac OS X emulated hosts. Ie. OSX > 10.3 > 9.2.

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

I made documentation for the Macintosh emulator in QEMU here: http://wiki.qemu.org/PowerPC It does have some of your suggestions already in it. Let me know what you think of it. I agree with adespoton: it is an excellent start. And I also agree it might be slightly outdated. A public spreadsheet wo...

This topic is growing to insane proportions. I am well lost in which combinations of arguments can be used with which OS version and which results are yielded.

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

Hey celebi23. Unfortunately I had no success with the manual compilation. It always stops at some point. I suppose most of the issues I came accross are due to the fact that my gcc would default to XCode's version instead of using Homebrew's 4.8. Whenever I tried to force 4.8 I had other issues abou...

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

Gentlemen, I managed to install QEMU 2.5 in my Snow Leopard machine via Homebrew. I installed gcc 4.8 first, via homebrew as well and then Qemu. $ sudo xcode-select -switch /XCode3/ $ brew install gcc48 --cc=gcc-4.2 $ brew install qemu --cc=gcc-4.8 That should do the trick.

I bumped on this yesterday: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35188570 To summarise: North Korea has this OSX's copycat system called Red Star OS.

Can we copy MacTCP from System 7 and try using on 9.2.2? If I remember correctly, the use of MacTCP and OT were mutually exclusive.

I am testing what is missing on my Snow Leopard machine to run QEMU. I found this nice 'otool' command that should do a similar job to Linux's 'ldd'. I thought it could be useful to other interested people, so I am dropping an example here. The command: $ otool -L ./qemu-system-ppc The output (this ...

Mmm GNUStep looks interesting. I saw similar aqua themes elsewhere, but they always look a bit off. Maybe fixing fonts would do the trick? I will try something along those lines.

Re: Qemu vs PearPC

And quite recently, QEMU is the only emulator capable of running Mac OS 9.2 in non-PPC architectures. It will probably allow us to use Classic, and I don't think PearPC will ever be able to do the same.

I like your wallpaper in the host system. =D

I understand Mac OS 9.2 is different from 9.0.4, but did anyone try to boot 9.0.4? Or maybe 8.6? Theoretically, would it work?

I'm just glad QEMU won't need ROM images.
