Hi, What you would be looking for is usb pass-through into your guest. -device usb-audio only presents an usb audio device to the guest, and that is not what you want. Every usb device has a unique combination of vendor id and device id. You need to find those id values for your usb midi device. You...

Hi, I don't understand why the default network card would not work? It works perfectly over here with Puma 10.1.3 You do have the networking settings in Puma set to DHCP? The realtek device does not seem to work even after installing the driver. Your qemu.bat points to MacOS9.2.img. I assume that is...

Hi,

Oops, I see qemu.bat was mentioned twice in that guide. That is a copy/paste error. It has now been fixed to refer to qemu.command

Hi, If you can't get this to work, there is also the option to run Mac OS 9 with Qemu. That way you can use port forwarding from inside Mac OS to your host. This allows Appletalk over TCP/IP networking. The file server would not show up when you select Appletalk in the Chooser, but you can connect t...

Yes,

As was suggested on the MG site: your software may not be able to work past 2020.

Hi, That issue is not easily solved with SheepShaver on your host. First of all, slirp networking provides a private DHCP server and NAT network address translation. That is the reason for the 10.0.2.x ip-addresses. Slirp does not allow ping to pass through the network. That would not have to be a p...

Hi, Interesting that you don't know where your SheepShaver installation came from...? The roles of the files you mention: -MacOS9 contains the installation of Mac OS 9 and your programs. It is virtual hard disk read by SheepShaver when it starts. If you installed Mac OS 9 yourself from a Mac OS CD, ...

I suggest you abandon your attempts to get PearPC going and use Qemu to run OSX.

Are there any tips or ideas one can do to make Basilisk less prone to Freezing up? My Basilisk freezes up occasionally, is that what crashing is because I thought crashing was when the program ceases? I emulate a system 7.6.1 but I also have 7.5.5 and I use a quadra650 rom. Is there a link for reco...

The configure line you used does not work anymore.

You can configure using this line:
./configure --target-list="ppc-softmmu" --enable-gtk --enable-sdl

Hi, You're mostly on your own when Linux versions are concerned. There are just too many distributions to keep track of. Why the flatpack version will not do full screen? No idea, perhaps you can contact the creator of the package. We normally compile from: https://github.com/kanjitalk755/macemu The...

Is it strange that the Windows version of Stuffit does not decompress all files correctly ?! It is not strange when you consider the underlying file systems. Mac OS uses data and resource forks in a file, while Windows has no idea about those and cannot preserve that combination. This has always be...

The file lost some of its attributes when still on the Windows drive. You probably unstuffed it there.
Copy the flashback.sit to your Mac OS 8 disk as it is, and then use unstuff inside Basilisk to get a correct copy of the downloaded file.

Hi,

You can see all the parameters when you run the BasiliskGUI, configure Basilisk correctly, and afterwards open the prefs file.
I have no knowledge about RetroPie, but if you want start something up after Mac OS has started, then put an alias in the start-up items folder.

I was wondering if there was a way to mount a USB drive for MacOS 9 on QEMU? I'm doing this since I want to transfer files between my PC and QEMU. If there is another way to transfer files between the host, then please let me know. Passing a real usb stick into the guest is a bit cumbersome. And it...

The current versions of Basilisk/Sheepshaver for Windows can read/boot Mac CDs. That has been fixed some weeks ago. But I'm not sure about which types can be read. I did, however, notice that Linux host would not allow me to boot from CD, so reading them while booted from hard disk image might also ...

Colibricks works, you just need to disable the screen enhancement setting.

Hi, If you do not want to use the GUI, you just put all your prefs items on one line, each item prepended with -- So: BasiliskII.exe --disk C:\MacOS_8_HD1000.hfv --screen win/1024/768 --rom C:\Quadra650.rom etc. Or, as adespoton mentioned, use BasiliskII.exe --config textfilewithprefs.txt The same m...

Hi, Thanks for your question. Please be advised we only deal with Mac OS/OSX guests on qemu-system-ppc. It will improve your chances to get useful answers if you direct your future questions at the qemu user mailing list or qemu developers mailing list. However, I tried installing netbsd 9.1 with qe...

Hi,

Yes, that is a nasty error for which we do not have a clear solution.
There is no guarantee, but you might want to try setting:

ignoreillegal true
jit false

Disabling the jit will make things go slower, but it might solve your issue.

Hi,

Is the slirp networking option not working or sufficient for you?
If you downloaded the sheep_net.ko file from our forum, then please be advised it is very old and not compiled on Mint.
Perhaps you should compile your own if you need it.
