Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

10.12 was working also, so no doubt that people got 10.13 to work. actually I remember using QEMU to run 10.10 also.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Ultimately, I believe QEMU is a better path of progression, for it is closer to emulating actual Apple PowerPC hardware VS SheepShaver. I do believe though that many people don't understand what the current primary objective of the QEMU project is, an enterprise-grade hypervisor. So we ultimately ar...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Hard coding these resolutions seems a bit backwards, don't you think?

Perhaps we should be reading this from the command line as arguments or from a configuration file so the user may specify ANY resolution they wish to display.

Just a thought.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

I did try to use the qemu_vga.ndr file, but the latest QEMU commit still doesn't the support code in OpenBIOS yet. It is possible I did something wrong. The qemu_vga.ndr file was placed in the pc-bios folder before starting QEMU. Maybe this isn't the right thing to do. clone this repo "wip&quo...

The problem with MacOS 8.6 or below, OS complains early boot about missing /RTAS node. I believe we need more work within OpenBIOS.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

WOW! beigeg3, I wonder how long ago this was fixed (in beigeg3), since according to reports it never worked before.

How neat.

I wonder how far away we are in OpenBIOS and QEMU from booting MacOS 9.x straight to beigeg3 target.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Cat 7, is that an installer CD, or installed image?

I ask because the installer Suitcases are always missing the open transport resources that the installed versions have.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

try booting 8.5 or 8.6 and you will see the missing copyright message.

Also, with 10.5 are you able to boot into single user mode?
