PPC Emulation Errors..

[carinavljko]

I tried for hours to find a concrete answer to this.
But most people with this issue are on Macintoshes and shit so yeah.
I'm on windows 11, rig is as follows:
AMD Ryzen Radeon 3 3200G, 8G Ram and a NViDiA 1650S.
Now the issue at hand..

Code: Select all

Welcome to OpenBIOS v1.1 built on Mar 7 2022 23:07
Trying cd:,\\:tbxi...
No valid state has been set by load or init-program.

I've tried my best, .iso is sourced from Archive.org, and all info from these forums.
PLEASE HELP

Hi,

Looks like a faulty iso, but first please post the content of your qemu bat file.

Best,
Cat_7

Much obliged.
Entire content of qemu.bat:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc.exe ^
-L pc-bios ^
-M mac99,via=pmu ^
-m 512 ^
-display sdl ^
-boot d ^
-drive file=MacOS9.2.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^
-drive file=MacOS9.2.img,format=raw,media=disk 

The .iso is sourced from http://old.mac.gdn/apps/Mac_OS_X_Leopard_10.5.6.iso.
Many thanks for your response. (Would like to note, I changed the .iso)

Hi,

There are many bad leopard images that will not boot.
The one you downloaded is one of them.

Best,

May you pretty please send a working one? Please? I beg of thee.

The ones I've got that work (with a bit of effort):
Sorbet Leopard R15 (you need access to a Mac to convert the DMG to an uncompressed disk image which is then immediately bootable)
Leopard 10.5.8 PPC Only Restore Image v1.dmg (MD5 starts 6307) (again, you need access to a Mac to convert the DMG to an uncompressed disk image)
Mac OS X 10.5.6 DVD-DL.dmg (it's a compressed dmg, so you may need to convert it to iso before you can use it)

QEMU can use dmg files, but they need to be uncompressed. Sorbet Leopard is a great one to use in QEMU because it's a pre-installed disk image -- you just need it uncompressed.

Thanks, fortunately, I have found one simply name "OS X installer"..

Moderator edit: sorry, we don´t do links.

(i'm probably gonna keep my connection open indefinitly). It seems to work so far, so I recommend this one for usage.
