Virtualization - Mac OS X 10.5.1 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 10.5.1 Desktop PowerPC

Screenshots


Instructions

Update from 10.5.0 using https://support.apple.com/kb/dl154?locale=en_US

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 mytap3451.
  • 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.
  • Check how to solve the problem with "unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35"
  • Check how to solve the problem with Time Machine
  • Check how to solve the problem to access the Time Machine shared folder on Mac OS X 10.13

  My views For 80 years everything was ok ... until they sent a woman For sure is DTV ... really bad Inside the gorge is clearly designed and written by a gamer Plot Two elite  snipers  receive identical missions: travel to an undisclosed location and guard the West and East sides of a deep gorge for one year without any contact with the outside world nor their counterpart on the opposite side. Levi Kane, a former  U.S. Marine  and current  private contractor  accepts the offer to guard the West tower. Drasa, a  Lithuanian  covert operative frequently employed by the  Kremlin , agrees to guard the East side. Upon arriving, Levi relieves his predecessor, J.D., a  British   Royal Marine  of duty and asks for specifics about the mission.
