QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Hello, i have been having a bit of issues with trying to emulate a copy of 10.1, i do all the correct things, but right after i open the bat file, it takes me to qemu (which it should), and just gets stuck at this screen (if you cant see the image, use this link --> https://imgur.com/a/sEuHrgj)
This is the config i'm using:
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -M mac99,via=pmu -m 1024 -sdl -boot d
drive file=Mac OS X Install CD.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom
drive file=101.img,format=raw,media=disk
(i did move around a few things to get it to work)

Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Hi and welcome,
If those are the exact lines your are using in your batch file then:
First, Qemu will not be reading the second and third line
Either put all arguments in one long line or end each line (except the last) with a space and caret (^) and nothing behind it.
Second, Mac OS X 10.1 will only run Ok with -M mac99, not with -M mac9,via=pmu. See here: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/pp ... or-windows
Third, you might want to change the file name of the CD image to something without spaces. Otherwise you might need to put the name between " "
This example should work:
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -M mac99 -m 1024 -sdl -boot d ^
drive file=101InstallCD.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^
drive file=101.img,format=raw,media=disk

Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Hello again, i have tried these and for some odd reason they do not work, any other things i could try to get it working?
Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Can you tell us what is happening now?
And paste the exact content of your batch file in your answer?

Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
It would still get stuck at the same screen, and sometimes, not even run
if I'm correct this is the bat file that I'm using
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -M mac99 -m 1024 -sdl -boot d ^
drive file=101InstallCD.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^
drive file=101.img,format=raw,media=disk

qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -M mac99 -m 1024 -sdl -boot d ^
drive file=101InstallCD.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^
drive file=101.img,format=raw,media=disk

Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Maybe a silly question, but did you also make sure to change the name of the iso file itself from "Mac OS X Install CD.iso" to "101InstallCD.iso" ?
Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Try this:
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -M mac99 -m 1024 -sdl -boot d ^
-drive file=101InstallCD.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^
-drive file=101.img,format=raw,media=disk
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -M mac99 -m 1024 -sdl -boot d ^
-drive file=101InstallCD.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^
-drive file=101.img,format=raw,media=disk
Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Good catch, we are indeed missing those hyphens before the drive entries....

Re: QEMU Not booting to Mac OS X 1.01
Then it is time to question whether your disk image is bootable.
Can you let us know where you got it from, or how you created it so we might check?
