Short answer is don't do it that way, or at least partition the disc. Only one system on a disc/partition can be blessed at a time. Otherwise you'll have to provide the absolute path to the :tbxi. I.E. boot hd:,\System\Library\CoreServices\:tbxi or boot hd:,\System Folder\:tbxi Actually what I’m do...

You'll have to let us know what type of printer you want to print to, and if it has Mac OS 9 drivers? For a network printer hooked to a macOS machine's network, you should be able to turn on print sharing, and share it with Mac OS 9, even if it doesn't have OS 9 drivers. This will require you to set...

So... which bridge works? Is that using the ASM1083/1085? Pericom Semiconductor PI7C9X111SL PCIe-to-PCI Reversible Bridge [12d8:e111] (rev 02) It is a two slot PCI, and it's a good thing, because my Rage card sets some registers for AGP 2x and has an AGP device ID(5246), in my old bridge, and in th...

Great! Is this the time to change the title of this thread: Success with PCI Passthrough? Speed improvement very noticeable? Best, Cat_7 Still working out some bugs, 2D isn't working correct under Tiger, far more screen tearing that we see with Qemu_VGA. I suspect that I didn't properly reinstall t...

It appears not all PCI-E to PCI bridges are created equal.

Great progress! Which pci card did you use in which machine? Just some random uneducated remarks: I believe the mouse issue was present earlier also without passthrough. Making the cursor change by moving into e.g. a terminal window got it going OK. Could the kernel lag be caused by a rebuild of th...

I've managed to get basic VGA passthough of a Rage 128 PCI card working with Qemu-system-ppc. It's very buggy, and I've only managed to boot Tiger. At this point it doesn't work any better than our emulated Rage128 does. The ATIRage128GA.plugin causes display corruption, so no 2D graphics accelerati...

Thanks to BALATON Zoltan we now have Rage 128 Pro emulation upstream in Qemu. Only works for console in Linux PPC, and somewhat works for 2D in MorphOS, basic frame buffer in the Mac OS/X. BALATON has done pretty much all the work himself and is working on better Mac OS/X support. He could use some ...

Qemu-system-ppc can only take advantage of one core/thread, to complicate matters, modern OS's like the macOS and Linux load level even a single core process to all available cores/threads.

So it's unclear if we can even take full advantage of single core turbo boost on systems where it is available.

PPC emulation is pretty demanding, requires very fast single threaded performance from the host.

68k emulation on something like a Pi would be very fast, likely faster than any 68k Mac that ever shipped, but it's going to be some years before we can emulated PPC on Arm faster than a 1 Ghz G4.

Anyone have any update on the status of booting the Mac OS in Qemu 68k?

I've had mixed results with Qemu-system-ppc and USB passthrough. OS 9 just quits on an abnormal exit when trying to connect a USB 2 flash drive.

Some older USB to Midi boxes had OS 9 drivers, and may or may not work with USB passthrough and Qemu.

As far as PCI passthrough, I was able to get a Geforce card working with IBM SLOF on the p-series machines in Qemu. However Openbios lacks some of the .words needed, I've been hoping someone with more programing knowledge would help in implementing the needed @config .words for Openbios. I did test ...

Running linux in qemu-system-ppc on an X86 host, even a fast one, is painfully slow. I suppose linux tries to use the FPU and AltiVec units to speed things up, the Mac OS doesn't really rely on them to run the basic desktop. The FPU and Vec units benchmark out at 90Mhz and 70Mhz on my Ryzen 7 CPU, w...

Pulled the latest stable release sources 3.0.

I'm trying to build qemu-system-ppc64, but I'm running into trouble. When I try to build with cocoa it can't find some of the Quartz headers, they seem to be missing in High Sierra. When I disable cocoa and try to build with SDL it can't find the X11 headers, even tho I have XQuartz installed. How c...

I'd be interested to know how the Qemu team pulled it off, I remember reading years ago that the G4 should support 4Gb of ram, but some flaw limited it to 2Gb. I suppose I could read Booke and see if that was addressed, tho it's just pretty cool what can be done when dealing with a virtual machine v...

I want to build Qemu-system-ppc on a few G4's I have running 10.5.8, can anyone help me with some instructions on installing all qemu's dependancies?

A lot of times it's just better to use dd to make the image. dd if=/dev/diskxx of=Tiger.iso bs=10m Do diskutil list to see the disk number of your CD/DVD and replace /dev/diskxx with the numder of the disk. Then I find this command works better: qemu-system-ppc -m mac99 -M 512 -cdrom Tiger.iso -hda ...

im not sure when this fix happened but at some point QEMUs ADB implementation got fixed so that now mouse and keyboard work in OS X Server 1.2v3 so now I can login and do stuff! :) it only works on the g3beige machine type sadly still.the keyboard and mouse do work on mac99 but OS X server 1.2v3 st...

I was wondering how things were going with implementing a new video card in QEMU. Did you ever solve the problem of the mysterious driver? Is there anything someone else could do to help? I finally figured this issue, with the non-existent hardware NDRV. OS 9 will load this for any display device t...

Custom BootX with logging.

There is a KVM kext for OS X, I built it, but was unable to build the patched version of qemu that it needed to boot the linux kernel.

It was very limited, it could only boot the linux kernel.

If you want to work on it, I'm game to help.
