I have a feeling the screamer will also go into main code sometime in the near future

Anything we could do to help?

Also, it's possible that this has to do with the PMU (lack of) emulation -- if you disable all energy saver settings and screen savers, does it still freeze? Haven't thought about that. I will try this and report back. It worked! Going into the energy saver pane in System Preferences and sliding bo...

I have to admit I haven't run the latest builds for more than about 5 minutes... do you have a dumpfile from your host OS? Or is the freeze only in the guest OS and qemu's still happily running? QEMU was still running. I went into the monitor and used the 'info registers' command to see if the CPU ...

Lately I have been noticing my Mac OS 10.4 VM freezing after only 10 minutes of use. Has anyone else noticed any freezing issues?

I have been doing a lot of thinking in terms of what programming language to use and was wondering what version of the Mac OS the Mac users here use. This information would help me to know what should be the minimal system requirements to my front-end application. Since I asked the question I will g...

I'm going to guess when you push the run button QEMU might appear for a second then disappear. I would go to File->Display Full Command-Line and paste this text into a terminal window. Then try to run it. If QEMU outputs an error message you will be able to see what is wrong. Usually it is trying t...

Hi, It seems the beta 2 runs in Sierra, where I had problems before. Can you add a build that supports resolution switching? It is available in the default source. Or add an option to select a resolution that goes into the -g argument? Version 2.10 is what will be bundled and it supports resolution...

I am waiting for the next official release which is only a few weeks away. That would be version 2.10.

Thank you very much everyone for the help. I plan on making guest sharing a lot easier with my front-end application. Hopefully it will be as easy as simply selecting a folder to share. For those who are not familiar with my front-end, the link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7parvyzvdabpe74/...

Has anyone been able to make sharing work on Mac OS X? I wanted to open up an Appleworks file on my host system in the guest. Working with one set of files would make things easier than having to copy between guest and host. I have tried AFP, FTP, and SMB. All of them failed with my Mac OS 10.4 guest.

Thanks for the benchmarks. Do you think you could add your picture to this page: http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/benchmarks

Just wanted to report my research. Since Rosetta fails more floating point tests than QEMU I thought it would be interesting to see what happens when the PowerPC version of Quicktime is ran in Rosetta. I was actually hoping for poor audio playback. What actually happened was MP3 audio played back pe...

Floating-point math is probably the most tricky part of CPU/FPU emulation. I have spent lots of time improving 68k FPU emulation to a point where one expect to get "99% correct results" recently. I don't know how QEMU emulates floats (native or software floating point library?). Using any...

I made a program that tests various floating point instructions. Just double clicking on the "fpscr test" program is all it takes to make it work. The program indicated that most of the floating point instructions in qemu-system-ppc are not correctly implemented. If you want to try testing...

Good work, Qemu's PPC emulation is about 1/2 to 1/3 of SS on my system and Altivec is about 1/10 of SS, and SS is nowhere near the performance of Apple's Rosetta. Sheepshaver sound like the superior technology. I think it has a two stage translation system: PPC -> x86. QEMU has a three stage system...

Alternatively, if you have access to Ida, it will happily detect PPC assembly and output it in readable form. I believe there are demo versions of Ida for Mac available as well from the Ida website. I couldn't find a free demo of IDA that would disassemble PowerPC code. If you find it, please share...

After you run risu you will see output that is a bunch of numbers. These are encoded PowerPC instructions. To decode them, copy the numbers and view them on onlinedisassembler.com. After pushing the "Start Disassembling" button you will see a button on the left side labelled "Platform...

For the longest time we suspected something was wrong with QEMU. It would not play sound correctly under a Mac OS guest. We only had theories that we could only wonder about. Now we can finally see what is wrong. I would like to introduce risu to everyone. Risu is a program that can test each PowerP...

Sorry MacQEMU 2.0 only runs on Mac OS X.

I was talking to the Openbios maintainer about VGA resolutions. His idea is to only supply a couple of built-in resolutions and one resolution the user specifies with the -g option. I think he wants these built-in resolutions only: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 1280x800 1440x900 1920×1080. My idea was ...

Here is beta 2 of MacQEMU 2.0: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7parvyzvdabpe74/MacQEMU_2.0_beta_2.zip This does not work on my computer. it can't find libgtk-something.

If feels like this option up and left in the middle of the night. I don't have any idea why.

Ah; I moved from Tk to WxWidgets in the late '90s. It almost became the official widget kit for Python, but was missing some support/behaved differently on Mac OS (classic) back then, so Guido decided to stick wtih Tk. As soon as OS X came out, WxWidgets was ported, which *should* have spelled the ...

Works nicely now. Here are my first impressions. I think it is a bit slow in showing the Qemu window. I sometimes think it has not started. There seems no feedback when things do go wrong in e.g., the additional arguments. And there is no way of knowing you best use e.g., -M mac99 to boot the curre...
