Already pointed out above by Cat_7.

Great. Thank you for the piece of news.

That's very good news. Thank you for letting us know.

I'm not a Icon Designer at all and this was primarily meant for personal use, but I thought that others might find it useful as well so I decided to share it, again, it was mainly for personal use so it's probably not the most well planned out Icon ever made. But, I hope you guys like it and maybe ...

BTW, code doesn't look like C, but more like C++ or C#.

That's great. Seeing OS 9.2 run on it would be really something.

Cat_7 wrote:I'll build a target ppc64-softmmu as well and see how that fares.

Do you foresee that will entail some improvement in the emulation of MMU or that it will be possible to launch Classic? That would be great.

Hi, None of the issues we were having with qemu are fixed. I did read, however, that the inverted colour problem OSX users have might have something to do with the pixman library not having been built correctly for OSX. That is outside the control of qemu development. Best, Cat_7 Thanks for your re...

Qemu 2.0 has been released. Does anyone know whether any improvements have been achieved in emulating OS X 10-2-10.4 or the Classic environment?

By the way, section 6 of the printing guide, "Print to a shared printer on the OSX side", solved the issue very well indeed. Thanks to all.

Thanks.

Thanks, Ronald, and merry Christmas! I had read this thread, not that particular document, which I will study, although I think I already knew most of what it contains. As for the Brother printer and PostScript, I'm somewhat confused. The Brother site says that the HL-3150CDW is PostScript if it is ...

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask about this. Does anyone know if there is a "generic" PPD that will handle printing from OS 9.0.4 to a Brother HL-3150CDW or similar IP printer. Nothing fancy is required. Basic black and white and colour printing of text and images would be enough.

That's fine with me. Thank you.

Qemu 1.7.0 is out. Have any of the issues involving colour and/or Classic been fixed?

Cat_7 wrote:Ah, interesting:

I veryfied, and both color and classic bugs are still there.

Thank you! Let's hope they fix it some day.

Cat_7 wrote:Hi,

I checked and the answer to both your questions is "no".

Best,
Cat_7

Does that mean nobody has checked? Does it mean somebody has, indeed, checked, but the color bug is still there and Classic still fails to run?

Qemu 1.6.1 is out. Has anyone verified whether the colour bug has been solved when emulating OS X 10.2-10.4 or if Classic works any better?

Cat 7 reported that the Classic environment never ends loading, so I guess the answer is negative.

Wow! Impressive! Do you foresee someone will ever come up with a GUI solution (much like Q) that won't require the use of Terminal?

Considering the latest development of Qemu at long last provides some PPC OS X emulation on modern Intel Macs, I wonder whether the administrators might consider creating a third subthread of "PowerPC Emulation" called "Qemu" alongside PearPC and SheepShaver. Perhaps someone with...

Oh, I see what you mean. I guess we are closer to running OS 9.2.2 on modern Macs, but more work on Qemu will probably be required.

I got Jaguar to boot. Runs fine. I tried to start Classic inside Jaguar, but that failed. It didn't crash, it just didn't show the classic desktop. I switched to OS X from Windows back in the good old days of Panther. In those days and in Tiger, I don't actually recall a "Classic desktop"...

Cat_7 wrote:So basically we have to wait before any useful guide can be constructed.

Fair enough.

There are some GUis that ease the pain, but no recent ones for OSX. So you have to use the command line. Get one going, save it in text file, and the problem is solved. Would there be a step-by-step tutorial guaranteed to produce a valid executable of the latest Qemu for OS X? I mean something like...

I might have looked in the wrong place, but I haven't found a Qemu application. In the Qemu universe, is there anything remotely similar to an application that can be run by simply double-clicking it? Or is it all rather arcane, requiring the linking of various libraries and extensive use of the Ter...
