Mac OS 10.1 Mouse Not working

Post by pokepat6 »

Hi

Im pretty new to powerpc mac emulation so I really don't know how to fix this. Anyway i was able to install QEMU properly and edited the qemu.bat file. But as I booted into the Mac OS X installer my mouse stopped responding, I tried to release the grab (ctrl+alt+g) then click the window again, and even edited the .bat file but nothing worked. So I really need help. (edit) I cant even test my keyboard even though its integrated into my laptop coz i cant get to the installation screen.

Thanks.

Can you show us the content of your bat file?

If you have "mac99,via=pmu" in it, change it to "mac99"

Yes,

For 10.0 and 10.1 you should replace "-M mac99,via=pmu" with "-M mac99" otherwise Qemu presents an USB mouse and keyboard to Mac OSX which it cannot handle ;-)
