I tried to do that, but I used the Windows version of QEMU. I'm on a 64-bit Windows setup and I've yet to get the debugging stuff properly working. For one thing, the command line prompt in QEMU is permanently at 640*400, with no way of me being able to expand that in any way. I tried PuTTy, but it...

Currently there are no videos on YouTube showing off Mac OS 9 running in QEMU. It would be neat if someone with some video editing skills and a catchy techno sound track filled that void....

I upgraded my 10.2/9.1 disk image to 10.3 using Qemu. rtl8139 now works, and I can use the network from classic. The 9.1 Chooser allows to connect to shared disks, etc. Appletalk will of course not work over the slirp connection. Currently looking into tap/other networking options. btw: this is wit...

WOW! beigeg3, I wonder how long ago this was fixed (in beigeg3), since according to reports it never worked before. How neat. I wonder how far away we are in OpenBIOS and QEMU from booting MacOS 9.x straight to beigeg3 target. In my experience the g3beige target was the working one and the mac99 ta...

mac99 or beige g3? could yo post command line arguments? I installed Mac OS 10.2 in the g3beige target. It was a while ago since I last installed it. I think the command line arguments were something like this: qemu-system-ppc -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hdc <image file path> -boot d -m 400 Note: I used a p...

Iis there anyway to achieve this setup using installation media? Or does it only work when installed on a real beige g3 and then imaging the HD? I used a Mac OS 10.2 install CD to install Mac OS 10.2 onto an HD image file in QEMU. Last time I tried installing Mac OS 10.4, the HD image file failed t...

Good news! I imaged a disk from a g3/233 running OSX 10.2 and Mac OS 9.1 and booted it with Qemu in OSX. The system boots and runs without issue, and what is more, classic fully booted OS9.1 ;-) Both without, and with all extensions enabled. Best, Cat_7 OMG! I can't believe it. I tried it myself an...

My hard drive image file is too big to upload. It is over 3 GB in size. If you really want to use Mac OS 10.2, ebay has it. I found the retail version for about $20.

The realtek 8139 is not supported in 10.2. I'm currently in the process of installing the realtek provided driver. This has been unsuccessful in the past, but now I'm trying in both 10.2.8 and an earlier version of 10.2 Best, Cat_7 I have installed the RTL8139 driver from the Realtek site in Mac OS...

As an experiment I deleted the escc and escc-legacy nodes in OpenBIOS, then ran Mac OS 9.2. Never even made it past the OpenBIOS screen. Mac OS 9 definitely expects the escc or escc-legacy nodes to be there and to be working. My guess (based on what Mac OS X expects) is we need DMA support added to ...

I hacked some rtas properties in so that 8.5 tries booting, and 8.5 gives me MUCH more interesting debug information from the ELF loader (and it actually makes sense, unlike the 9.2 code which is clearly broken). The debug flags changed though.. I need to set 0x1000 to get output after OF at all, a...

I extracted the boot loader info from the Mac OS Rom file in the system folder of a 8.5 installation CD image. For anything below 9.2, i get this: 0 > dir cd:,\ Unable to locate device cd:, ok 0 > 9.2 shows the content of the CD image. For the Mac OS 8.5 CD image file, could you run this command to...

Oops. Just edited my previous message. Mac 8.5 can't boot. It displays "No valid state has been set by load or init-program" Best, Cat_7 Thank you very much for the info. It looks like Mac OS 8.5 never gets far enough in the boot process to see the copyright message. This looks like a boo...

Were there any problems? Did you see any "missing copyright" messages?

After entering adler32 at the 0 > prompt I get a "stack underflow" message. Best, Cat_7 That message can be ignored. All that matters is the copyright message is added to the root node. You can check this using these commands: dev / .properties You should see the copyright message near th...

Also, MacOS 8.6 ( does 9.0 work? ) and below is un-bootable on either the mac99 or beigeg3 targets in QEMU. IIRC, the error is "missing apple copyright notice." Does anyone else see this error? alfonso I thought the copyright issue was solved, but if you are seeing it, it could mean the a...
