9 Emulator For Powerpc Mac OS 7

Using SheepShaver (along with the appropriate ROM image) it is possible to emulate a PowerPC Macintosh computer capable of running Mac OS 7.5.2 through 9.0.4.

Builds of SheepShaver are available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

In 2016, QEMU could finally achieve what has never been possible before: emulating Mac OS 9.0.4, 9.1 and 9.2.2 (albeit still its quite slow and the sound support is kind of buggy at the moment).

Note that QEMU can also emulate Mac OS X 10.0 up to 10.5.

At some point in the near future hopefully, QEMU will fully replace SheepShaver, but at the moment, SheepShaver still runs faster in most situations.

Just launch the QEMU - Mac OS 9.2.2.bat (or QEMU - Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11.bat) file and wait 30 seconds for Mac OS to boot up.

Nevermind the yellow screen with a VRAM partition not found error, it will go past this without any problem.

The Mac OS 9 package contains a 1GB disk image on which Mac OS 9.2.2 is already fully installed.

The Mac OS X package contains Mac OS X 10.4.11.

BTW, if you need a larger disk image, you can grab one instantly from here: Blank hard drive disk images (3GB HFS up to 30GB HFS).

Right out of the box, it will network through your host machine but on its own subnet branch.

The virtual machines IP will be like 10.0.x.x.

Your Windows host IP would likely be something like 192.168.x.x but whats nice is that the virtual machine can still tunnel back to your host machines subnet branch.
