QEMU Instrux for the Complete Idiot

I'm actually not a complete idiot; I compiled xFree86 for OSX before there was a built-in X environment; I had, at one time, a Fink environment set up. But I haven't done much of it since my PowerBook G3 was my main computer. So I'm rusty and wasn't all that experienced at my peak. I want to • learn...

Desired: QEMU Step by Step for the Compleat Idiot / Newbie Beginner

I would like to run Panther (MacOS 10.3) in emulation on an Intel Mac. I've never done QEMU and I never got very far attempting PearPC. All of the QEMU guides I encounter don't seem to begin with Chapter 1. Or they assume I know stuff I don't know. Anything involving a command line should be ridicul...

Re: The Need for M1 Hosted Emulators

What do you mean with "older PPC MacOSX"? Panther, aka MacOS 10.3.8; Jaguar, aka MacOS 10.2.8 don't really care about 10.1 or 10.0 Intel virtualisation is not possible. I don't expect virtualization. Emulation would be fine. The M1 pretending to be Intel, much like VirtualPC was PowerPC p...

The Need for M1 Hosted Emulators

So if I'm going to switch to M1 ("Apple Silicon") based Macs I will need to emulate Intel Macs so as to be able to run MacOS X. That one's important. I'd be starting off in the M1 world with scarcely any software that will run there. And a need to run it. And I have invested a lot of time ...

Re: Print to file (PDF? Pict?) for Mini vMac?

Hmm... seemed like a good idea, so I installed from System Additions disk (6.0.8). But it's behaving the same way as Print2Pict 1.x: Chooser lets me select the printer, but various applications (Photoshop 1.0, SuperPaint, MacWrite 4.6) will not let me do Page Setup or Print, saying "There is no...

Print to file (PDF? Pict?) for Mini vMac?

Under System 6.0.8 / Mini vMac, I ought to be able to print to some kind of file, even though without networking cant' print to an actual printer.

Re: Sheep_net, X11 version of BasiliskII, on MacOS: How?Wher

if you have installed additional software in BasiliskII that installs files in the System Folder OK, I feel rather foolish. You'd think I'd spend enough time running System 7 natively back in the day to remember the usefulness and necessity of futzing with extensions and control panels. The virtual...

Sheep_net, X11 version of BasiliskII, on MacOS: How?Where?

I've got the X11 version of Basilisk running within the MacOS X (10.6.8) environment. (I've run the Aqua-GUI version but it crashes if you so much as look at it sideways and when it does it eats the virtual hard drive until I mount it in the X11 version while booting from a different startup disk). ...

Re: PearPC for OSX available

That worked sort of

It is now executing the binary and I get the next window, the one in which I confirm which drive to boot from.

It doesn't accept keystrokes though :(

I need to enter a 1 to boot from the virtual hard drive.

Virtual machines (tnat create a different OS environment but on the same native processor as the environment running it) should not impose much of a speed hit even when nested. True emulators do .

I will experiment with AirPort Express when I get home. It lets multiple computers connect wirelessly and get IP addresses. See if SheepShaver likes that better.
