Virtualization - Mac OS X 10.5.6 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 10.5.6 Desktop PowerPC

Instructions

Update from 10.5.0 using https://support.apple.com/kb/dl754?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 mytap3456.
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

Movie - The Wizard of Oz (1939)

My views Plot In rural Kansas , Dorothy Gale lives on a farm owned by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, and wishes she could be somewhere else. Dorothy's neighbor, Almira Gulch, who had been bitten by Dorothy's dog, Toto, obtains a sheriff's order authorizing her to seize Toto. Toto escapes and returns to Dorothy, who runs away to protect him. Professor Marvel, a charlatan fortune-teller, convinces Dorothy that Em is heartbroken, which prompts Dorothy to return home. She returns just as a tornado approaches the farm. Unable to get into the locked storm cellar, Dorothy takes cover in the farmhouse and is knocked unconscious. She seemingly awakens to find the house moving through the air, with her and Toto still inside it. The house comes down in an unknown land, and Dorothy is greeted by a good witch named Glinda , who floats down in a bubble and explains that Dorothy has landed in Munchkinland in the Land of Oz , and that the Munchkins are cel...

Movie - Bastille Day | The Take (2016)

My views Plot On the eve of Bastille Day in Paris , American drifter and pickpocket Michael Mason steals a woman's handbag, not knowing that it contains explosives . After taking the cash from the bag, he discards it, caught unwittingly on CCTV as he does so. The bag then detonates and kills four people. Upon being captured by CIA agent Sean Briar, who is being reprimanded for irresponsible conduct on the job, Mason protests that he is not a terrorist and tells Briar that the bag contained a cellphone owned by a woman named Zoé. The bomb was set up by a group of corrupt policemen , all of them members in the French special police RAPID unit led by Rafi Bertrand, who intend to pull a robbery at the Bank of France . Zoé was told to plant the bomb at the office of the French Nationalist Party (as part of a diversion for the heist), but after seeing the night cleaning crew arri...

Movie - The Gorge (2025)

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. J.D. explains that in addition to the towers on the East and West, there are automated turret defenses to the North and South, a powerful signal ‘ cloak ,’ and explosives on the walls ...
