Re: Qemu Mac formatted CD

Indeed HFS/HFS+ cannot be read. Qemu tells us: Could not refresh total sector count. Input/output error. It will read other CD's and mount them when the guest can read them. Best, Cat_7 Some sort of Windows bug, that doesn't effect Linux. I often use real CD/DVD's in the drive by passing -cdrom /de...

Re: Qemu Mac formatted CD

I assume HFS/HFS+ and Hybrid ISO that can be read in PC/Mac.

So basically anything useful to PPC.

Mac OS ROM 5.2.1

I'm looking to boot Mac OS 9.0 in qemu, the documentation says I need Mac OS ROM 5.2.1 and that it should be on the Cube CD for OS 9.0.4, but all I find is v3.x and that doesn't work.

Thanks to some fine works by a few Mac emulator fanatics, we can now boot v3 of the Beige G3 ROM in Qemu.

Re: Help me choose the best emulator

You don't really have any easy options. SCSI to USB is expensive, seem some Ebay seller has cornered the market on these, and the 50pin is not quite the same as the 50pin on the 7100's HD, so you'd also need and adapter and a way to power the drive. Also, who knows what driver issues you'd have with...

First use SheepShaver( GUI ) to create the image file, but don't boot and initialize it. Quit SheepShaver, and boot Qemu-system-ppc with the disk image you created with SS. ...

Re: Having a hard time with Mac OS 9.0.4

What works with 9.0.4 that doesn't work with 9.2.x? I always found 9.0/9.0.4/9.1 highly unstable even on supported Mac's. 9.2.x was far more stable, even on unsupported Mac's. So, if you have software that won't work, or won't work as well then it maybe worthwhile to run 9.0/9.0.4/9.1 vs. 9.2.x, if ...

A few notes here GTK seems to be broken in this build, mouse leaves emulated screen and the system is unusable. Add -sdl to the qemu command. Also there is no point in loading the Rage128.rom, the disk based 'NDRV' is all you need, and loading the FCode ROM doesn't give you any more functionality. T...

Re: Unable to boot to Mac OS 9.1 under Kali Linux

You can't boot OS 9 with a g3beige target in Qemu.

You need to use the mac99 machine model to boot OS 9, I.E.

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc -M mac99
