I am a bit of a first-timer to QEMU (I say a bit because I remember running a pre-built -- as in, I did no modifying of any sort to any files -- Linux virtual machine on it) who has been reading up on this forum, am trying out emulating Mac OS 9 and request help. But first, my conditions as to why I'm asking these questions.
- I am using the build from this post: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewto ... =34&t=9028
- I am running this on Windows 10, with the program compatibility set to Windows 7 for both 32-bit and 64-bit programs (just in case, and for those wondering, I am using the 32-bit version).
- I am running the stock batch file with the only things changed being:
- The boot order is changed to D to install Mac OS 9.2.2 (using the universal install from Macintosh Garden)
- The sdl argument has been removed
- The drive files are (obviously) changed to reflect the files I'm using
- I created a hard drive using qemu-img using the steps from the install guide accompanying the forum post.
The full batch file is as follows:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc-wip.exe -bios openbios-qemu-wip.elf -L pc-bios -boot d -m 512 -M mac99 -prom-env "auto-boot?=true" -prom-env "boot-args=-v" -net nic,model=sungem -net user -drive file=macos9hd.raw,format=raw,media=disk,index=1 -drive file=macos-922-uni.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom,index=0,copy-on-read=off
1. The mouse glitches, i.e. "spazzes" to random corners of the screen. (I've heard this was a problem earlier on.) Can it be fixed, and if so, how?
2. The machine doesn't seem to recognize the newly-created hard drive, and as such, doesn't show it on the desktop. How do I fix that?
I only really want to use this VM to look at various appearance themes I found online, and have no interest in anything else.
Thank you for your interest,
Hunter
