You can run then Tiger with qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot d -M mac99 -m 512 -hda example. You could also use a sparse (bundle) disk image with QEMU (you'll then be able to natively mount it within the host) but that requires a bit of setup and a script. For everything older than System 7, you will need a Mac Plus emulator like Mini vMac NEW Since August 2016, it is now possible to emulate a PPC and boot Mac OS 9.2. to some guy who said emulators dont work for me who tf cares this is a piracy site. To create the a hard disk image, run qemu-img create -f qcow2 example.img 100M Then run brew install qemu (which already contains the PowerPC part). The PearPC PowerPC emulator does not support Mac OS 9.
However, SheepShaver cannot run Mac OS versions newer than 9.0.4, as there is no support for a memory management unit. You'll need to install homebrew, a package manager for Mac OS X/OS X/macOS. Mac OS 9 can be emulated by using SheepShaver, a PowerPC emulator available on multiple operating systems, including Intel-based Macs.
It is now possible to emulate PowerPC for Mac OS 9.2.2 through 10.5 via QEMU: and.
