You might try to manually edit your prefs file and add one of these (or both) lines:

Re: MCL on Apple Silicon
Can MCL 5.1 even run on Mac OS 9.0? For PPC I see it needs Tiger or Leopard? It can also run using Rosetta.

Re: Qemu package and guide for Windows available
Hi,
How much of a performance hit do you see?
There seem to be multiple performance issues that gradually slow qemu down:
-usb-audio slows down the system as it constantly keeps the audio stream open. This can't be helped
-accel tcg,thread=multi,tb-size=8192,split-wx=off ^ should only be used when ...

Re: Qemu package and guide for Windows available
Hi,
It might very well be that the shared folder functionality in that build slows down Qemu. I haven't tested that.
With which command line are you running that build?
Can you point us to a norton utilities download?

Re: What am I doing wrong here?
If you downloaded the zip file, the solution is to first unzip the zip file.
You then get a .toast file. Rename it to .iso
Remove the spaces in the file name and add it like:
-drive file=StrategyChallenges1.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^ (if this line is not the last line in your bat file, otherwise ...

Re: Port forwarding in Sheepshaver
How come you use redir tcp:22:51.222.85.183:22
and not redir tcp:22:10.0.2.15:22
As the redir is only useful when using slirp networking that sets the ip address to 10.0.2.15
To me it looks like you are redirecting directly to your external ip address?

Re: Qemu-system-m68k-Win64 to run Mac OS 7-8 / AUX3.x / NetBSD
Hi,
The Command and Option keys are reversed but the Windows menu does not show up when the mouse is captured in the Qemu window and you press the Windows (Command) key.
So you can type Command + .
Or does that not work in your Qemu-system-m68k?

Re: OS 9 in QEMU faster on M4 than PowerPC G4?
That is very difficult to answer. The FPU performance of Qemu is less compared to a real mac. How close you would get on a M4 or M5 is unknown.
But perhaps you might try one of those latest experimental builds that have multi-processor support.

Re: Qemu package and guide for OSX available
Thanks,
I did notice that in OS X when playing an mp3 with Quicktime the sound could be garbled. However, after playing the same mp3 with iTunes first the mp3 would then play fine with Quicktime also. I don't know what causes that.

This path might not be correct: //Users/oepieke/Desktop/OS9
Try with a single slash before Users. Or better, open the command file and drag the folder you wish to share on your host to behind the path= so macOS pastes the folder name there.
