Virtualization - Mac OS X 10.5.5 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 10.5.5 Desktop PowerPC

Screenshots

Instructions

Update from 10.5.0 using https://support.apple.com/kb/dl692?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 mytap3450.
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

In 2021, Courtland, now known as Sierra Six , is working with fellow CIA agent Dani Miranda to assassinate a target named Dining Car suspected of selling off national security secrets in Bangkok during the national Songkran festival. Unable to do so stealthily without harming civilians, he attacks Dining Car directly, mortally wounding him. Before dying, he reveals he was also in the Sierra program as Sierra Four.
