• 1QEMU on OS X (macOS) hosts

How to install Windows 10 on Mac. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition. Open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the onscreen instructions: 2. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition. Install Windows. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows. Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install qemu. Fedora: dnf install @virtualization. Gentoo: emerge -ask app-emulation/qemu. RHEL/CentOS: yum install qemu-kvm. SUSE: zypper install qemu. QEMU can be installed from Homebrew: brew install qemu. QEMU can be installed from MacPorts: sudo port install qemu. QEMU requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later, but it. The last version of QEMU I have been able to run Windows 95 or Windows 98 on was 2.7 or 2.8. Recent versions since then even up to 3.1 will either not install or will not run 95 or 98 at all. I have tried every combination of options like isapc or no isapc, cpu pentium or cpu as 486. Tried different memory configurations, but they just don't work anymore. No mention of a qemu.exe in this thread; How TO install Windows 98 with Qemu Hardy/ Gusty x86/ AMD64 Here's one from 2015, yes it's a raspberry pi thing but it runs linux so bascially same thing as the second post mentions using qemu. Raspberry Pi. View topic - Running Windows 95 (or Windows 98).

While QEMU's main host platform is Linux, it is also supported on operating systems for Apple's Mac computers (known as OS X or macOS). The official support policy covers the last two released versions of OSX; QEMU might work on older versions, but it is not guaranteed and it might not even compile on older versions.

Please note that fewer developers work on QEMU for Mac hosts, so it might be less stable (but I don't think it is). If you can replicate a bug on a Linux hosted QEMU before reporting it, this is helpful as it means a wider set of people might look into it.

Some system emulations on Linux use KVM, a special emulation mode which claims to reach nearly native speed.KVM is mainly used for x86 (32 and 64 bit) emulation on x86 hosts running Linux. Should you want to run Qemu with KVM support on a G5, depending on your distribution, you might have to compile your own kernel with KVM support.There exists a port of QEMU to Hypervisor.framework (a kernel module from Apple which is similar in spirit to KVM), but unfortunately it is not included in upstream QEMU.

Building QEMU for OS X

The system requirements are:

• One of the last two most recent versions of OS X (currently that's 10.13 or 10.14)
• The clang compiler shipped with the version of Xcode for that OS X. GCC might also work, but we recommend clang

Additional build requirements are:

You may find it easiest to get these from a third-party packagersuch as Homebrew, Macports, or Fink.

After downloading the QEMU source code, double-click it to expand it.

Then configure and make QEMU. The target-list option is used to build only the machine or machines you want. If you don't specify it, all machines would be built. Probably not what you want.

This way doesn't require you to wait for the configure command to complete:

If your system has the 'say' command, you can use it to tell you when QEMU is done

You can use './configure --help' to see a full list of options.

Here are all the currently available machines:

• aarch64-softmmu
• alpha-softmmu
• arm-softmmu
• cris-softmmu
• i386-softmmu
• lm32-softmmu
• m68k-softmmu
• microblaze-softmmu
• microblazeel-softmmu
• mips-softmmu
• mips64-softmmu
• mips64el-softmmu
• mipsel-softmmu
• moxie-softmmu
• or32-softmmu
• ppc-softmmu
• ppc64-softmmu
• ppcemb-softmmu
• s390x-softmmu
• sh4-softmmu
• sh4eb-softmmu
• sparc-softmmu
• sparc64-softmmu
• tricore-softmmu
• unicore32-softmmu
• x86_64-softmmu
• xtensa-softmmu
• xtensaeb-softmmu

We recommend building QEMU with the -default compiler provided by Apple, for your version of Mac OS X (which will be 'clang'). The configure script will automatically pick this.

Errors on old compilers

Note: If after the configure step you see a message like this:

you may have to install your own version of gcc. You can build it from source (expect that to take several hours) or obtain third party binaries of gcc available from Homebrew or MacPorts.

You can have several versions of GCC on your system. To specify a certain version, use the --cc and --cxx options.

Build with LLVM/Clang 7

If you need to compile with newer versions of clang (to get f.i. AVX/AVX2 support), you can install llvm through e.g., brew.

Note that building for machines with CPUs supporting such extensions will exclude running your binary on earlier machines.

That’s right, the ADB is usable enough now to type and move the mouse, meaning that OS X Server can now be installed within Qemu!

It’s incredibly slow, and the mouse is incredibly jumpy, but it’s actually running!

Basically, like A/UX, you boot up into MacOS to partition the drive.

qemu-system-ppc-screamer.exe -L pc-bios -m 256 -M mac99 -prom-env “boot-args=-v” -prom-env “auto-boot?=true” -prom-env “vga-ndrv?=true” -hda 2GB.vmdk -cdrom “Mac OS X Server 1.2, MOSX_Booter.iso” -sdl -device usb-mouse -device adb-keyboard -boot d

OS X Server 1.2 MacOS 9 Create OS X Server partition

Qemu Install Windows Xp

And then kick off the installer:

Which really isn’t much to do, other than tagging the partition, and prepping the machine to reboot.

It’s OK

Qemu doesn’t emulate the NVRAM, so it’ll complete with this ‘non fatal’ ‘fatal error’

After that, boot into the OS X Server kernel, and continue the install:

qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -prom-env “boot-args=-v rd=sd0″ -drive file=2GB.vmdk,index=1,format=vmdk,media=disk -M g3beige -cpu g3 -drive file=”Mac OS X Server 1.2, MOSX_Booter.iso”,index=0,format=raw,media=cdrom -prom-env “boot-device=cd:9,:tbxi” -m 256 -net none

It will then format the disk, and copy over the base operating system. After that it’s time to shutdown, and reboot the VM. I couldn’t figure out a pure hard disk boot, but again using the CD-ROM, you can just tell it to pull the root from the hard disk.

qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -prom-env “boot-args=-v rd=hd0″ -drive file=2GB.vmdk,index=1,format=vmdk,media=disk -M g3beige -cpu g3 -drive file=”Mac OS X Server 1.2, MOSX_Booter.iso”,index=0,format=raw,media=cdrom -prom-env “boot-device=cd:9,:tbxi” -m 256 -net none

OS X Server 1.2 installing

And after this, it’ll want to reboot again. Launch it up and now we get the initial setup

And with that out of the way, we can logon!

And after a while, it’ll load up the desktop

OS X Server 1.2 Desktop

As mentioned above, the mouse is incredibly jittery. Doing anything graphical is very difficult. But here we are, running OS X/Rhapsody for the PowerPC!

Install Windows 98 On Qemu Mac Install Windows

Because the mouse is VERY jumpy at the moment, Im going to make some pre-configured disk images available because running the disk tool under OS 9 is a major pain. The first image has only been partitioned, while the second has completed the ‘text mode setup’, aka a minimal install.

And that’s it for now!
