Hello to all the Full Throttlers,

this post goes to all users, who wanted to run the LucasArts Mac game Full Throttle in any PPC Mac OS 9 emulator and witnessed sound stuttering problems, due to the Virtual Memory Setting must be on in order to get the emulation work properly.

I've just ...

Addendum:

On inspecting the /usr/lib/ directory, there is indeed no sign of the libncurses.5.4.dylib on my Mac with macOS Monterey 12.7.6.

Hello,

I can confirm the linking error message.

On solely starting "./qemu-system-ppc" from the Qemu-system-ppc-screamer-macOS-universal-05-01-2025 release folder on macOS Monterey 12.7.6,
I get the same error message, saying /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib not found.

Perhaps you need to upgrade ...

No did not try it in ScummVM, I haven't downloaded that version yet. Usually I buy all games as original. So maybe someday I buy the Masterpiece edition for Windows, who knows. Right now I have ordered Real Myst via Ebay:-) Let's see if that works on my Mac mini 2006.

Cheers to all Myst fans out ...

Ok.
But I want to play the original Mac version, so therefore is Emaculation:-)
And for the HyperCard stacks there are also possibilties here:-)))
:D

But as far as I know only the Windows Versions!?

BTW/perhaps off topic

Myst works in Qemu/Catalina/Mac OS 9 with sound flawless without the timing issue related to the t107 bug.

Myst functions perfectly now in Qemu with Sound for Catalina and Mac OS 9-the t107 or something error does not appear!

Thanks! This brought me to an idea: I was wondering about the date of the OpenFirmware which told me the 19th of October 2019))) So in the end I had an old Qemu installation from Homebrew installed))) Stupid me! So It works now perfectly!!! Really appreciate your work and patience!!!

This is my Command:

../Qemu-4/qemu-system-ppc \
-monitor stdio \
-L pc-bios \
-M mac99,via=pmu \
-m 128 \
-rtc base=localtime \
-device VGA,edid=on \
-k de \
-drive format=raw,media=disk,file="Mac OS HD.img" \
-boot c

Ok! I stripped the bad arguments.
But still no sound((
(Same applies to my Mac OS X Qemu VMs.)
I don't see the Audio Device in the System Profiler or System Settings.
I don't see the "spatializer audio laboratories" item.
I go crazy.

I have Virtual Memory on.
I can though see the Qemu USB Audio in the System Profiler and can choose it in the Sound Control Panel.

When I play the Sound from the Scrapbook the System hangs.

I have no sound on Catalina with Qemu-4.2.5-sound-build downloaded from here.
My guest ist Mac OS 9.2.1 with Quicktime 5.
My command is:

../Qemu-4/qemu-system-ppc \
-monitor stdio \
-L pc-bios \
-M mac99,via=pmu \
-m 256 \
-rtc base=localtime \
-device VGA,edid=on \
-netdev user,id=network0 ...

Ok thanks again for your summary.

I have an idea.

Maybe my Power Mac G4 Install.iso does not boot behind the blinking disk because it was ripped on an Intel Mac.

Could that be the problem?

Have you Then created the hfs partition in sheepshaver beforehand?

I'll try when I can get hold of the original CD when I get to my father's place again some time.
Thanks!

I'm stuck again:( Inside the Qemu emulation the Mac OS shows the blinking disk with "?". It still won't boot from cd. I tried to eject and change the cd from the menu but that didn't work. What can I do?

You are a f***g genius!!! This software is magic! I even successfully converted my CDR into ISO with this app and started the Qemu with this image und came to the point where the Mac OS is asking for a boot medium showing me a ? disk symbol. Let's hope I'm coming further! Thanks a lot!!!

Ok thanks for your replies! When I get access to the original cds at my father's place I will create ISO's with "dd" on the Bash as always proposed by you or others here in the forum. I guess the CDR image made by Mac OS X is the problem-thanks for clearing that out! I have also a PowerBook G3 ...

Is there possibly a problem with the hardware bundling of the original install cd rom apple produced for their machines?

The CDR image is valid I think. I have a Pather Qemu emulation and successfully added the Power Mac G4 Install.cdr to this and could even install the system software Mac OS 9.1 on a disk image. But even the installed Mac OS on this disk image won't boot into my Mac OS Qemu emulation. This is weird(((

Hi,
on Mojave with Qemu 4.1.0 I want to install Mac OS 9.1 from the original Power Mac G4 Install CDR image on a disk image.

Here's my Bash:

/usr/local/Cellar/qemu/4.1.0/bin/qemu-system-ppc \
-monitor stdio \
-prom-env 'boot-args=-v' \
-prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' \
-prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true' \
-L ...

Thanks for insight, and sorry to stress well known things just because of inability to read
Greets!

Posted the crash report.
