Problem with Internet and Sound

Hello, good evening, I currently have Mac OS 9.2.2 installed on Qemu, but I have not gotten the internet and the audio to work ... My main operating system is Mac OS X 10.13 High Sierra

Can you tell us which Qemu build you are using, and what your command line to start Qemu looks like?

Hi,

The info you provided is not enough to help you with your issue. If you really want a solution, please tell us as much as possible about your setup for us to analyse where your internet/audio issue might originate from. If we have to drag the info out of you, things can take a long time ;-)

Best,

Sorry, I am something new in all this ... the configuration I made is as follows:

#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"

./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot c -M mac99,via=cuda -m 512 \
-prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true' \
-drive file=MacOS9.2.img,format=raw,media=disk \
-netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01 \
-device VGA,edid=on \

I can't insert images so I can see what appears to me

If you want to insert images, you'll have to upload them somewhere and then link to them in your post.

Did you download Qemu from our site?
There are two versions: one from the official source code that does not support sound, and one from experimental source code that does support sound.
If you want sound, download the experimental build, and put everything included in one folder.

Your qemu.command file looks OK, but can be simpler.
This is an example to use for the version without sound support:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"

./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot c -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 \
-drive file=MacOS9.2.img,format=raw,media=disk
If you use the experimental build with sound support from our forum, qemu is called qemu-system-ppc-screamer. So the qemu.command file to use for that version is:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"

./qemu-system-ppc-screamer -L pc-bios -boot c -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 \
-drive file=MacOS9.2.img,format=raw,media=disk
Please notice there is no "\" behind the last line as there was in your command.

Ok, I'm going to try… and regarding the internet ??? how can i make it work ?? just as it does when you install Parallels and some other operating system, they share the internet ...

On the other hand, I have installed the versions of Mac OS 9, Mac OS X 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 but they are slow, how can I make them run much faster… I have 20 GB of ram memory

Thank you very much….

All guests should have internet out of the box.
Did you try?

The sound-enable build should use less than 1024 Mb memory.
The OSX guests can use e.g., 2048 Mb

Speed also depends on your host, but emulating a different processor will be slow. That cannot be helped.
