QEMU stucks at loading Mac OS 9.0.4

[MicroApple]

I want to install and use Mac OS 9.0.4 using QEMU but QEMU stucks at loading cdrom. Here is the command:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc -display sdl -L pc-bios -boot d -prom-env "auto-boot?=true" -M mac99 -m 384 -hda MacHD.img -cdrom "C:\Users\user\Downloads\Apple_MacOS_9.0.4_USA.iso"

I downloaded Mac OS 9.0.4 ISO from this website: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/os-904-us

Hi,

Some 9.0.4 images will not work, as they have a Mac OS Rom file onboard that is not compatible with Qemu.
Look for the 9.0.4 install image for the G4 Cube on the Mac OS 9 page at the garden.

It works, but the mouse is unstable for Mac OS.

Which issue are you having exactly with the mouse? How does it behave?

Sometimes the mouse goes to the corner randomly. I am using the same command.

Assuming to managed to install onto the hard disk image, you might give this a try:

qemu-system-ppc ^
-sdl -L pc-bios -boot c ^
-M mac99 -m 384 -hda MacHD.img ^
-usb -device usb-mouse

Ok, now it works correctly. Thank you.
