Get a full working QEMU emulation system without the setup hassle...

Can this be used on a PowerPC machine, as this seems to have a lot of good items which can be made useful for everyday working under OS 9 on a PowerPC machine, as I don't have QEMU.
FBz:
I don't think so (not in current form).
BUT Someone was working on something very similar (without QEMU)
featuring a pre-loaded installer with various software pkgs. pre-installed.
IIO:
why would you want to install something built for ARM on a G5 when there is s PPC version of it?

No, it only works on RECENT Intel computers. Won't even work on early Intel Macs.
For PPC try Sheepshaver 2.4 and OS 9.0.4. I can confirm that combination works on G5 PPCs.

Ha ha, guess that was a hint, yes FBz has been testing the new "2022" "Complete production machine" image, the goal, which is 70% there, is a DVD ISO that will install Mac OS9, complete with apps (like 3rd party System/File Utilities, Appleworks, Photoshop, and more) and also an easily switchable set of pre-made extension sets (for nVidia, ATI) and lastly a complete menu system. Kinda like and "Instant OS9 PPC Workstation" image.
Stay Tuned !
Hopefully soon... I am getting older and slower :(
This will greatly help the beginners who don't have time to build an "a la carte" system... they can focus on just the GUI and API experience and really see the power and simplicity of Mac OS 9 without all the research.
