I started by creating a directory for all this emulation stuff. These instructions are adapted from Cat_7 from the Emaculation forums Windows/Linux: These instructions should probably work there too, although you will probably have to substitute something else for coreaudio in the configuration step. MacBook) then there may be some struggling. However if you have a low-power CPU (e.g. Hardware: I am not sure about hardware requirements, as most modern Macs will probably eclipse the power needed to run the guest OS. If you don’t have them, you might be prompted (by MacOS) to install them. Don’t worry about seedless torrents these ones are backed with web seeding.ĭevTools: I already have homebrew and XCode installed because of this I was not prompted for missing command line tools. Cover discs can be downloaded directly as ISO files or a torrent for the ISO. Magazines can be browsed right on the archive site, or downloaded as archives or PDFs (or a torrent containing all formats). Note that while QEMU is available in Homebrew, it does not have the experimental audio support (yet).

Here is a short guide on how I got it running with MacOS High Sierra as the Host OS. Yes, many people have already written about emulating Mac OS 9, but only recently (2018) did experimental audio support come out for QEMU. I recalled that QEMU could emulate other architectures, surely someone has already tried to emulate Mac OS 9. My first instinct was to reach for VirtualBox, but that is a no go as I need to emulate a Motorola 68K or IBM PowerPC architecture. I was curious to see what applications were around back then - what about emulating Classic Mac OS to see? These magazines are freely available on the Internet Archive, including their cover discs. Building websites, graphic design, hacking the appearance of the UI, all these were explained in the pages of magazines. Growing up around that time, I remember reading a lot of MacAddict and MacWorld to learn what I could do with a Mac. I recently got an urge to revisit old computer media from the late 90s and early 2000s.
