The OS 9 install went extremely quickly thanks to an image called OS9Lives, which is set up to directly clone a known working disk with staple apps already installed to your bootable disk image.įor booting the OS X guest, I found the following works best: Installers are readily available out there gestures but I won’t link here just in case there are legal issues. Neither guest OS has working sound, but there’s some effort on the part of the community to fix this with the qemu-screamer fork but I figured I should try whatever QEMU version was native to arm64 before trying this one that seems to be focused on x86 Windows and Mac. Networking is configured automatically! I was able to browse using frogfind, which strips away elements from sites and loads a text-only version friendly to retro computers/defunct browsers. There’s some info in the emaculation forum about installing a usb-tablet extension, but that didn’t work for me and instead leaves the cursor immobile.

Mac OS 9 does not respond well to the Reform trackball, and that makes using it a terrible experience. The guest thinks it’s a 900 MHz PPC G4, but I’ve never used a G4 that felt this slow before!
I don’t think there’s a way to allocate more CPU resources, but I could be wrong. In OS X, Activity Monitor shows the virtual processor basically fully utilized, while on the host, I barely get 115% CPU utilization for the QEMU process. I’ve played around with some of the optional commands that I thought would help out but I’m unsure they’re doing anything (see below for my recommended config). Performance is very slow in either OS 9 or OS X.
