Having a bit of time I updated to Qemu 7 and checked if all my virtual machines still work. I have Mac OS X 10.0 to 10.5 running, and every VM from 10.2 to 10.5 are updated to latest release of the OS. Apple's update servers only seem to still work from 10.4 onwards, so I updated 10.2 and 10.3 to latest release using the combo updater packages.
But whatever I try, I just can't find a working combo updater for 10.0 nor 10.1, all the images available on the web seem to be corrupt.
Can anybody point me to valid updaters, please?
That's exactly where I downloaded the updaters (plus a few other sources). macOS 12 seems to be properly decoding the bin file when double-clicking, but when double-clicking the resulting .dmg file (or when adding it to a VM), I always get a disk unreadable error.

Have you tried downloading them from within the guest?
Best,
Cat_7
Already tried that, but because the browsers used are too old, I get a "Security failure. The server reply is invalid" error with the links (most https links, that's why I normally use macos9lives.com to test for internet connection inside those VMs as it's about the only address I know that still uses plain http).
Thanks a lot adespoton, that was a brilliant suggestion, because mounting the .img on macOS, copying over the combo updater package, launching the VM and then double-clicking the package correctly decoded the file and mounted the resulting image. This way I could update Mac OS X 10.0 to 10.0.4, but under 10.1 I get the error message that the installer app is too old. So it seems I need an intermediary combo updater. Got any pointer for those?

Change the date on QEMU maybe?
I've always done the updates by copying into the guest and running, and never had an issue except when I've bumped up against date checks. What exactly is it saying is "too old"? What is doing the complaining? If you try to run the 10.0.4 updater under 10.1, you will definitely get an installer complaint. That shouldn't happen with the 10.1.5 cumulative update.
I meant of course the proper update for 10.0. I don't think it has something to do with the date, it simply seems there were an interim update to the installer app itself necessary to install newer updates.
Lazy me, I didn't scroll to the bottom. It states clearly that 10.1 or 10.2 is necessary, but there are no download links for these updaters. I downloaded the Security and Installer update, but those seem to require 10.1 or 10.2, too.
Google doesn't turn up any results (I also checked archive.org, macintoshrepository and macintoshgarden). Incidentally, 10.0 and 10.1 also give me problems running Classic (crashes after start up).
I have a 2012 mac mini intel which I wish to use to run ppc qemu for mac osx 10.4.11
I have downlaoded and followed instructions in the ReadMe for catalina etc, however I am getting errors biult for Mac osx 12:
do I need a special compile for my OS Catalina 10.15.07
please advise
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately the specific network functionality built into that build is not available on your host. Qemu officially only supports the last two macOS versions.
You would have to download an older version to get it to run on your machine.
A new build from the Qemu 7.1 RC3 source has been posted in the first post in the thread.
It fixes the corrupted screen when switching away from millions of colours.
Hi I have Catalina running qemu-system-ppc via brew

Are ccc sparse images bootable at all? The ccc docs seem to suggest they might not be.
Anyhow, if any image is not from a whole disk, but only from a partition, Qemu will not boot from it.
Perhaps it is possible to convert the ccc image to dmg, a format Qemu can read? You might try to first install Mac OSX 10.4 and then attach your image.
Otherwise, you might be able to copy your ccc image onto a sufficiently large qemu hfs+ disk image and then expand the ccc image from inside Tiger with ccc onto a second disk.
Is there a step by step guide, I can be linked? I want to use the version that emulates 9.2 Macintosh. A youtube video would also be helpful if one exists?
Which sound version in the second post should I start by downloading?
What do I call the QEMU folder inside my applications folder?
To have sound support, you should download the latest experimental version from 14-12-2022. Put all files in a folder named Qemu in your applications folder.
Make sure you have or download a Mac OS 9.2 installation cdrom image.
I know of no user visible or real improvements, except that it was built from the latest code.
It just happens that I automated the builds from the m68k and ppc source so both become available at the same time
I replaced my Qemu version from february to the latest one and now in every VM the menu bar is hidden under the window title bar (I0ve tried both System 9 and Mac OS X). I'm running Sonoma 14.1.1 on an iMac Pro.
Is this a known bug?
