Virtualization - Mac OS X 10.3.0 PowerPC Desktop on Qemu for Windows


Environment

  • Host: Windows 10 Intel x64
  • Virtualization: QEMU emulator version 6.0.93 (v6.1.0-rc3-11879-ge232c1bc00-dirty)
    qemu-system-ppc.exe
  • Guest: Mac OS X 10.3.0 Desktop PowerPC

Instructions

I have to write something here

Notes

  • Release mouse control back to host OS pressing Ctrl+Alr+G keys together.
  • Network only works if creating a network bridge connection. For my set-up, I called the virtual NIC mytap3430.
  • Network MAC address has to be unique. Each one of my Qemu guest NIC have a different MAC address...loads of MAC addresses....
  • Confirm the "Network Bridge" (in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections) is using the correct physical network card (Intel 1.0GB for me). I lost a great deal of time using the wrong NIC.
  • Possible SSH remote access problems solved here.
