MAC OS 10.0 RUNNING ON SHEEPSHAVER FOR MAC OS X

Some of the patches in the unofficial version above didn't make it into the mainline for 2.8, but they should get mainlined in a few months. Here are the versions that I've confirmed, do work on this build:ĩ.0.4 for the Power Mac G4 Cube (no other version will work, as their copies of the 'Mac OS ROM' file are earlier versions that do not work in QEMU).ġ0.0.x, including every prerelease build except for DP1 and DP4 (QEMU's emulated hardware is too new for DP1, and DP4 fails at boot with 'still waiting for root device').ġ0.1.x, including every prerelease build except for build 5F24 (for 5F24, see 10.0 DP4's note above).ġ0.2.x, including the prerelease build 6C35.ġ0.3.x, including the prerelease build 7A179.ġ0.4.x, including every prerelease build except for 8A323 (dunno what's up with it exactly atm).ġ0.5.x, didn't test prereleases (unlike previous versions, 10.5 has a lot of prerelease builds archived, and they're pretty huge as well, so I'm not going to test those atm).

I've been testing the ppc Apple stuff on an unofficial build of QEMU (specifically made for Mac OS X emulation) for a while now. Qemu has an RTC flag and can have its clock set manually. SheepShaver is built with SDL, albeit the decade old 1.2 which won't completely compile on most modern setups.

Qemu may be better in that it offers support for Realtek 8139 and NE2000 adapters, which are the same lineage of 'the end of os 9' so one may hope. SheepShaver had a bridge driver up to XP SP2, but most people are limited to userland SLIRP for networking. SheepShaver's advantage is host-fs drive mapping and two frontends.

Sheepshaver is limited to 9.0.4 due to limitations of software MMU support which necessitate the real hardware or a better emulator. In this video, I show you how to use the SheepShaver emulator to install classic Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 on your modern Windows computer. A system install CD that was originally provided with a new Mac will only install on that specific model. Only general retail Mac OS install CDs are fully compatible with SheepShaver. Qemu took forever to support MacOS/PPC since it had an incomplete device tree for the platform for New World openfirmware a similar theme that still plagues anyone hoping to run Aix via emulation. Depending on the used ROM file (see below for more info on ROM files), SheepShaver can run System 7.5.3 through Mac OS 9.0.4.

The problem with Sheepshaver is that it doesn't faithfully trap certain cpu calls which cause the emulator to crash when launching apps such as Internet Explorer or any other browser but Classilla possibly others.
