Didn't they get that code from qemu?

At this point, there's no active development of SheepShaver, but qemu is happily emulating the MMU and running OS 9 through 10.5.

Dolphin is developed independently of QEMU, so its code is rather different. It only has PowerPC emulation, whereas QEMU has to emulate many different processors. Dolphin also has not just the interpreter, but also JIT and JITL. You could theoretically rework Dolphin's PowerPC emulation code to suit Sheepshaver, though it wouldn't be an easy task since Dolphin emulates a newer (and somewhat unique) variant of the PowerPC G3.
