Got a few super dumb questions. What are the reasons that I can't run "-smp 4" with a Mac OS X 10.5.8 vm and only "-smp 2"? Also, why is the memory limit 2048mb and vgamem_mb seems to be 64MB? If I set the memory to anything higher, I get an error message that 2048mb is the limit and if I set vgamem ...

I've noticed an impressive speed/performance boost in my Mac OS 10.4.11 Qemu VM Any chance to get a dual-core build but with sound support too?

So, I'm trying to connect Basilisk II to the Einstein Newton emulator . I'm running it on macOS 15.3.2. I have no idea where to start to get Basilisk II set up with AppleTalk/LocalTalk. I know that there is a specialized build of Basilisk II to connect to Einstein via a virtual Serial port and I ...

Your image has no connection when bridging to wireless when using the screamer build. It will connect over wireless with our "normal" build.

So my suggestion would be to drop the sound-enabled build.

Yep, that did it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Thank you so much! Final question, I promise ...

Did a fresh install of 9.2.1 and still having the same weird connection issues in Mac OS 9. Confirmed that "en0" is the only thing listed under "Interfaces:" in the "Wi-Fi" section, under "Network". Do I need to be connected via Ethernet for this to work properly, or were you able to get around the ...

There is nothing wrong with the image or network settings. I receive an ip address etc. from my router and can connect to websites, run the hotline client and see servers.

I have no idea whether your app laucher has anything to do with it.
You are not running two qemu instances at the same time ...

I'm not sure which qemu builds you are using for what?
Are your questions related to the screamer build?

Edit: you do not show your complete command file when trying to add the shared folder. It now looks like you are missing the ...

So, I've got MacOS 9.2.2 set up in "Qemu-system-ppc-screamer-macOS-universal-05-01-2025". I want to set up a Hotline Server inside of Qemu. I'm kinda at a loss as to why MacOS 9.2.2 will not connect to the internet at all with the "vmnet-bridged" option. Here's my starting point with the commands to ...

Gotcha, will go with Qemu then. Yeah, I've confirmed that it is en0.

Sorry, let me be clearer. I can't connect to the internet from with Mac OS 9, in Qemu if I have the bridge set up via the command line option. If I try and connect via Hotline Connect, for instance, it errors out when trying to ...

The tap instructions are not valid for current macOS versions, and I haven't tried the etherhelper in a long time.
However, if you are satisfied with AFP over TCP/IP the solution is not that difficult.

Add a line to sheepshaver prefs forwarding port 548 to the host:
redir tcp:548:10.0.2.15 ...

I was wondering if there's any chance for a more updated experimental sound-enabled build?

Thanks!

Ah well. Hopefully by the time I get a new Mac, this option will be included in Qemu

Sorry, I should've been a bit clearer. So, I like having 640x480 as the resolution for certain games but, the window itself is tiny on my MacBook Pro screen:
https://i.imgur.com/dgwwjFf.png

Is there a command line option to scale the window up by a factor of 2? That way, the resolution stays the ...

I was wondering if there was a windowed zoom mode similar to the option in SheepShaver & Mini vMac? I know that there is the "zoom to fit" option for fullscreen mode. I'm currently using Qemu-5.2-OSX-Screamer-15-12-2020 due to still being on macOS 10.14.6. Thanks!

This looks like it is host speed related, you (and others) have to wait for a fix.

Ah, gotcha.

Hi,

It seems you are missing one "\"

./qemu-system-m68k-AUX-alpha \

If this slash is not there, the rest of the command line will not be read ;-)

:shock: :lol:

I didn't even catch that. Thanks :lol: So, it boots but, I'm stuck at this screen now:

So, I've followed the preparation steps in the Running qemu-system-m68k with A/UX 3.x guests in macOS guide. Here's what my qemu-m68k.command file looks like:

#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"

-L pc-bios \
-m 128 \

I was wondering if QEMU supports USB Floppy Drives? I've got something arriving on Wednesday that I want to archive for the Macintosh Garden. QEMU supporting USB Floppy Drives would be easier than digging out my old iMac.

I've been using this super easy setup with Qemu for awhile. For example, here's what I use for my Mac OS 9.2.2 (and for Qemu-4.2-OSX-Screamer-11-02-2020):

Mac OS 9.2.2.app/
Contents/
*Info.plist
Contents/MacOS/
*AdobeMac.dmg
*launcher
*Libs
*MacintoshHD.dmg
*pc-bios
*qemu-img
*qemu-system-ppc ...

I'm not sure that it's a Retina issue. Both apps had the "High Resolution Capable" option set to "YES" in the Info.plist file. It's really weird. If I select "Open in Low Resolution" in 36.04, it's not a permanent fix. When I move around the window, the image fixes and it's pixel-perfect. Or, if I ...

So, I've got a nice setup for Dark Castle & Beyond Dark Castle. Here's the settings I used to compile 3.5.8:
-t imch -magnify 1 -bg 1 -ta 2 -speed z -sss 4 -svl 6 -n "minivmac-3.5.8" -maintainer "Silicon Beach Software, Inc.". This produces a pixel-perfect image.

I figured I should update to 36.04 ...

So, I'm tying to add 3 cds to the command line like so:
./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot c -M mac99 -cpu G4 -m 768 -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -drive file=MacintoshHD.dmg,format=raw,media=disk -drive file=AdobeMac.dmg,format=raw,media=disk -drive file=Arthur.iso,format ...

Awesome! Thanks!
