Mainly playing with old operating systems, I'm a retrocomputing enthusiast.
While years ago I would mainly use Virtual PC (I do miss its great GUI) and VMWare (and rarely bochs), qemu improved a lot and has (somewhat decent) support for so many more architectures. You can run Solaris for SPARC and Mac Os 9, for example.
- bane 8y agoI'm interested in your is cases. Do you have any good write-ups for Mac OS 9 and others? I never considered QEMU for those older systems.
- gattilorenz 8y agoWell, usually the internet is large and you can find lots of guides :) I'm an avid follower of virtuallyfun.com and right now the latest post is about installing AIX on QEMU. If you look into the qemu category ( https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/category/qemu/ https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/category/qemu/ ) you'll find OS X Server, Unixware and more. The author, neozeed, is very friendly and you can leave him comments or shoot him an email and he usually answers pretty in depth. As for OS 9, I'm not sure it is as refined and functional as SheepShaver on Windows yet, but I'm on OS X, where SheepShaver takes more effort to set up. There's a modified QEMU for enhanced OS 9 compatibility (I think more G3 emulation?) here, and people managed to install 9.2: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=9028 https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=9028
