ID=12 Unimplemented Core Routine
A programmer might set breakpoints in parts of a program to inspect for errors. This requires using a debugger. If a debugger isn't installed when a breakpoint occurs, you see this error code.

Can it be caused by something that QEMU did not implemented yet?

More likely that there's no debugger installed and a breakpoint was set in the software. What happens if MACSBUG is installed?

Which guest are you running on which host, and what is causing it?

I am using the Qemu 5.1 for OS X running High Sierra.
I try to run Sixtyforce 0.8.0 (https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/sixtyforce).
I can run it on SheepSaver with OS 9.0.4, but got type 12 error on Qemu with OS 9.2.2.
Thanks!

Sorry, this forum deals with QEMU-PPC, and you're talking about QEMU-X86, which is a different beast. Best to check in the QEMU forums for that one. Gerritt (author of 64ce) might also have an insight as to what he's doing that might trigger it, but it's most likely to do with QEMU's debug handling routines.

A misunderstanding here?

My understanding is that "phed" is trying to run sixtyforce, a PPC application downloaded from Macintosh Garden, in QEMU 5.1 PPC, not QEMU-X86, on a High Sierra host. Which guest OS?

Hi,

The OP says to be running Mac OS 9.2.2
I ran both the 0.6 and 0.8 versions on Qemu with Mac OS 9.2 and they displayed the video screen without issue.
As I don't have a cartridge, I can't try actually running a game.

Yes, Sixtyforce can display the initial screen, but after opened a game, then the type 12 error occurred.

Hi,

I'm not sure, but perhaps the issue is related to a lack of sound support in Qemu?
I'm now running sixtyforce in a sound enabled Qemu build in Windows. I started Mario from the file/open menu in sixtyforce and it loads and plays. Please note that I have a frame rate of 2.1 So the game is not playable at all and video and audio stutter. Running an emulator in an emulator seems not to be a good idea ;-)

This type 12 error also occurred when using qemu-system-ppc-screamer.
There is a type 3 error when I try Rosetta Stone (https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/rosetta-stone-chinese) using qemu-system-ppc-screamer.
No errors when running in Sheepshaver.
