It’s too bad there isn’t more momentum in the Mac emulation scene. It seems like it stalled out with SheepShaver and Basilisk II. The only new thing is “make it run in JS.”

I would love to see an emulator that could run later OS versions like Tiger.



qemu-ppc can run PPC versions of OS X. This is a good place to get started: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/qemu

I’ve personally run as new as Tiger with it. Takes a little bit to start up but after that it’s reasonably responsive.

Follow-up: Thanks for all the links, everyone! I haven't been keeping up, but it looks like there's more momentum than I realized.


For Tiger and beyond wouldn't the hackintosh images in VirtualBox give you what youre looking for?


PearPC?
