If something breaks your Mac OS 9 installation then you can restore the file. When the emulator is shut down, just make a copy of the hard disk image to create a backup. It should boot up and you will have a running Mac OS 9 with audio! Tips

qemu-screamer/ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc -L qemu-screamer/pc-bios -cpu "g4" -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 -hda macos92.img -boot c -g 1024x768x32 Similar to the last command, except we start up from the disk we created.

Once done, shut down the emulated system. One partition is good.Īfter initializing the disk, run Apple System Restore with the Mac OS 9 lives disk image as the source and your disk as the destination. Go ahead and do that, using Mac OS HFS Extended as the file system. Once it starts up, you will be able to run Disk Initializer to format your hard drive image.

If you have an ISO of a Mac OS 9 install disc (a Mac OS X classic install disc won't work), then you can use that in the next step. qemu-screamer/qemu-img create -f qcow2 macos92.img 5G In our qemu-screamer directory, we will use qemu-img to create the disk image.
#MAC OS 9.2 EMULATOR FOR MAC OS#
I made mine 5 GB in size, which is plenty for Mac OS 9. We will need to have a hard drive image for our emulated system. This will create a binary in qemu-screamer/ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc that we can use.

configure -target-list="ppc-softmmu" -audio-drv-list="coreaudio" -enable-libusb -enable-kvm -enable-hvf -enable-cocoa In this case I am only compiling the emulator for PPC (32-bit). I have also enabled LibUSB, KVM, HyperVirtualization Framework, and the Cocoa UI. Then configure the source to use MacOS CoreAudio. Start by cloning the fork of QEMU with experimental audio support: $ git clone -b screamer qemu-screamer If you do not have them, then this process may prompt you to install them (MacOS will do that). You may need to install XCode and/or the XCode command line tools. You should be comfortable compiling software from source before attempting. These instructions work for MacOS High Sierra as the host OS, although with some tweaking they may run under Linux/Windows.

Here is a short guide on how to build QEMU to run Mac OS 9 with working audio.
