Title: Good Morning Mac OS 9
Post by: ronaldrodgers8031 on September 11, 2026, 08:29:33 PM
Hello Everyone,
During the 1990’s I would use computer software to  enhance the curricular objectives of my classroom. I found some of the games I used in class, but more importantly I found the games I played at home. Now I am trying to find a way to play these games. Almost all of these programs were for Classic Mac (OS9). I am a newbie to emulation.

I am daily machine is operates on Linux Mint, in addition I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) that I can reinstall a Mac OS to use. I am just learning to use the Terminal in Linux.

I want to use an emulation  on either my main machine or the Mac Mini to play the games. Does anyone have a recommendation of what programs, methods, or useful tips that would help me in this endeavor.

Thank you

I have started my research on emulators and/or virtual machines. I have ruled out Sosumi. I have discovered UTM and will research UTM vs QEMU vs SheepShaver. My overall goal is to find the easiest way to install OS9 unto Linux, Mac (intel), or windows.

I will keep making updates.
