Description: DieHard's QEMU v5.2 System with Mac OS 9 Lives! 9.2.2 "Initial" Drive Image

If you are running, Mac OS X 10.11 or 10.12, you can still use the Mac OS 9 Lives drive image and the command script, but you may need and older version of QEMU found here:

Instructions:
Download this file, unzip it and double click the file "qemu.command" located at the root level of the expanded folder.
This will launch the qemu-system-ppc emulator with the settings in this command script via the Mac OS X terminal.
Please read this entire page for a full understanding of the download.

Important Notes:
1) The screen size can be changed via the standard monitor control panel in Mac OS 9
2) ISO / Toast images of CDs & DVDs can be mounted in Mac OS 9 via the QEMU Menu, "Machine" the "Change ide0-cd0" without having to modify the command script



Background. The download was created via the following process:

Note: THE STEPS BELOW DO NOT NEED TO BE DONE, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN ALREADY DONE FOR YOU, THESE ARE NOT DIRECTIONS, ONLY REFERENCE INFO.

1) QEMU (qemu-system-ppc Version 5.2) was downloaded.

2) At the root level of the QEMU folder, the following Mac OS X terminal was used to created a RAW 2GB drive image
Quote
./qemu-img create -f raw -o size=2G MacOS922_Lives.img


3) Our most popular 9.2.2 ISO was also copied to the root level of the QEMU Folder and renamed MacOS922Lives.iso

4) The Following qemu.command (command script) was used to boot the emulator with the un-formated drive and the CD Mounted, I have added some comments to the script...

# Next Line tells OSX this is a bash script
#!/bin/bash

# Next Line sets the path for the executable to current folder
cd "$(dirname "$0")"

# Next Section of lines starts QEMU and passes the stated parameters
# L defines the location of bios files to be used
# M defines the mac model used
# m defines the amount of memory in MB
# boot d defines to boot from a drive entry marked as a cdrom
# drive file defines a hard disk image or CD ISO image
# netdev passes internet to the emulated PPC

./qemu-system-ppc
-L pc-bios
-M mac99,via=pmu
-m 768
-boot d
-drive file=MacOS922Lives.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom
-drive file=MacOS922_Lives.img,format=raw,media=disk
-netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01
-device VGA,edid=on

5) Launch the qemu.command file (by double clicking or via the OS X terminal) to start the emulator.

6) Now that the emulator is booted to the CD image, run drive setup and follow the normal steps as if it were a real PPC G3 or G4

I call this the "Initial" image since it has no added applications and is a machine with only the initial install of our CD.
