It's pretty esoteric, but QEMU uses OpenBIOS, and mac99 is the model for Beige G3s. For those who remember the days of yore, C is the default drive for PCs, D is the default for the CD-Rom like a PC. After that, the -boot flag declares the boot drive. This seems to be the default even in Mac QEMU.

Next, we're declaring PC bios with -L pc-bios, I'm unsure if this is necessary. The first command is the qemu core emulator, you can use things like 64-bit x86 CPU qemu-system-x86_64 or a 32-bit CPU qemu-system-i386, but we're using a PPC, so we are using qemu-system-ppc. Let's break this down so it's not just magic. qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot d -M mac99 -m 512 -hda myimage.img -cdrom path/to/disk/image Now that we have a blank hard disk image, we're ready to go. qemu-img create -f qcow2 myimage.img 2G Step 3: Launching the emulated computer and the tricky part: Formatting the HDD If you'd like more space, change the size of the simulated HDD. You can get away with much less for OS X OS 9. You can specify a route, but I just used the default pathing, the 2G = 2 GB below. The rest of the steps do not need any specification for M1 vs.

#MAC OS9 EMULATOR INSTALL#

Apple Silicon arch -x86_64 brew install qemu x86 Intel Macs brew install qemu Step 2: Create a disk image You'll need to install the x86 version of QEMU for the Apple silicon macs first. This is the only step where Apple Silicon and Intel Macs differ.

#MAC OS9 EMULATOR WINDOWS 10#

I've gotten OS 10.0 and nearly gotten Windows 10 working on my M1. For the sake of brevity, I'm going to skip over installing Homebrew on an Apple M1, but you'll want to use the arch -x86_64 method, which requires prepending.

I was able to play Sim City 2000 on Mac OS 9.2 at a fairly high resolution. It's surprsingly very usable but the usefulness is going to be limited. I encountered very little resistance, which surprised me as I haven't seen/read anyone trying this route. Thus far, the community has succeeded in getting QEMU to install the ARM version Windows, so I decided to do the more silly path and get PPC and X86 working on Apple Silicon. Now, this post wouldn't be very exciting if I tried this on my Mac Pro, but I decided to try it on my MacBook M1.

#MAC OS9 EMULATOR SOFTWARE#

Still, in this example, I'm using Homebrew, a package manager for macOS/OSX that allows you to install software via the CLI and manage easily. There are alternate versions and different ways to install it. It's pretty powerful, free, and has a macOS port. Unlike VMWare, it's able to both virtualize CPUs and emulate various CPU instruction sets. This project is provided for educational purposes only.QEMU is an open-source emulator for virtualizing computers. Please check out the CREDITS! This app wouldn't be possible without the hard work of Christian Bauer and James Friend, who did everything that seems like computing magic here.

It is, however, a quick and easy way to experience a bit of nostalgia if you're not trying to do anything serious with it. This is a toy - it's not the best nor the most performant way to emulate an old Macintosh. However, Internet Explorer and Netscape are installed, as is the "Web Sharing Server", if you want to play around a bit. For what it's worth, the web was quite different 30 years ago - and you wouldn't be able to open even Google. You can transfer files directly - or mount disk images. Click on the "Help" button at the bottom of the running app to see instructions. Can I transfer files from and to the machine? There are also various apps and trials preinstalled, including Photoshop 3, Premiere 4, Illustrator 5.5, StuffIt Expander, the Apple Web Page Construction Kit, and more. Namely, Oregon Trail, Duke Nukem 3D, Civilization II, Alley 19 Bowling, Damage Incorporated, and Dungeons & Dragons. In fact, you'll find various games and demos preinstalled, thanks to an old MacWorld Demo CD from 1997. Should this have been a native app?Ībsolutely. The virtual machine is emulating a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 with a Motorola CPU, which Apple used before switching to the PowerPC architecture (Apple/IBM/Motorola) in the mid 1990s. Bear in mind that this is written entirely in JavaScript, so please adjust your expectations. Yes! Quite well, actually - on macOS, Windows, and Linux. ❓ Don't know what kind of chip you have?

This is Mac OS 8, running in an Electron app pretending to be a 1991 Macintosh Quadra.
